Thanks for taking the time to post these pictures, really appreciated! I found some generic repair kits on Amazon, tempted to give it a try since it's less than $50 as long as I can find a good deal on liners. Thanks again!

Yea that's what I figured. Just wanted to make I wasn't missing out on some patch kit which would allow me to easily fix this.

I'm in an area which gets significant amount of snow, so I figured mother nature would catch up with me someday, but this is a weird failure. While the liner is obviously toast, the pool wall itself is just gone around the return outlet. There was no visible physical damage at the end of last...

While trying to find a trustworthy store, I noticed that many of them boast about having a 70,000 sqft warehouse, and all use the same checkout system. I eventually figured out that most of these sites are just dropshipping via instantonlinepoolstore.com (also known as Under The Sun...

Alright so it looks like I need to figure out what type of liner I need, and I'm good to go! What do you guys think?

Alright, I took a few more, and have a few more questions before tackling this myself. According to the pool store, I would have to send a piece of the liner, which contains the hole, to the manufacturer (Aqua Leader), who would refund 50% of the MSRP if approved. If you ever dealt with liner...

What about the pool liner 'lock', do I need to replace that? The pool store suggested this, and found this notice on the manufacturer's website of the liner: I currently have the Unibead liner, but not sure if I have 26 or 40 (guessing this refers to the mil value?).

Thanks guys. I didn't think I could recover the liner, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss some obvious fix. Can the liner be repurposed for any other project-around-the-house, or should I just trash it? It does look like the damage happened at the seem (will confirm later), and I did...

So it has stopped snowing and I finally get to check out my 24' AGP. As usual, most of the water is gone, but this time, it's completely gone, and the liner got torn in 1 spot (probably caused by ice). It's a straight line, so I'm wondering if there is any product I can use which would weld...

Do you have any pics of your rack? I still need to come up with a design, haven't found anything yet which looks great, yet simple (have 4 2'x20' panels myself).

I'm just using SketchUp to design this, very easy to learn! I just finished updating my plan, I was actually working on those 'cripple joists' figuring that's what you meant, but I'm not sure how to attach them, since here isn't much room that close to the pool (angled joist hangers is all I...

Great looking deck! The problem with digging more holes is that I have to mix more concrete, and I am dealing with a bad back injury already, so add that with a limited budget, I don't think I can adapt the design for the deck boards to run perpendicular.

I wanted to run the decking perpendicular, but this would mean digging more 4' holes.

Hey guys, Finally getting my deck project going, and while designing it in SketchUp, I realized that I am running into trouble with the rim joist closest to the pool. I can't find any good examples of how other people deal with this, and I'm not getting many answers when posting on other...
