Finally completely finished! It's crazy me seeing the pics I posted in this thread compared to this final one. Wow a lot of work. Johnny, my wife posed the same question and tbh I guess it depends. The problem was that the cheapest installer I found was around $1,200. At the time I thought that...

Got my new liner recently installed in a 15x30 above ground and currently filling up the pool and it's about halfway full so I was curious when is the right time to add the skimmer and return and cut the openings out of the liner? I know as the pool fills it stretches the liner more and more...

Judging by the pic i think the corners are the least of your worries. Though it could be the angle the pic was taken but it seems that pool is extremely off-level. Like Kelly stated that bowing is vert sketchy. Smaller round pools are ok if a bit off-level but once you get into bigger ovals and...

I did finally do that. That helped a lot. But I'm pretty sure I figured out what I was doing wrong from the very beginning. I would work on the liner installation every day after work which wasn't til around 9-10pm. I didn't think doing it in the daytime when it's much warmer would have made...

OK bought a brand new liner (again) and finally got this one to fit. Only thing that worries me is that the right side has these big air pockets that protrude outwards. I'm hoping as I fill it the weight of the water will push it out. For anyone buying a new beaded liner for their above ground...

Yes I feel that was my problem too! Here is a word of advice for anyone hanging a beaded liner that may be too tight that it's pulling out of the bead track. NEVER use screws to hold the liner in place! Everywhere the liner would pull out because it seemed a bit too short I would drive a pan...

Thank you for the replies. Deep down I had a strong feeling that was the problem but just ignored that and kept truckin' hoping I'd pull it out. I've been doing the entire install by myself including leveling the ground which took me over a week to get it right. I did measure the pool and it...

I have a 15 x 30 oval above ground pool. I've spent the last week trying to install my new liner but I can't seem to get it centered. The liner is from Swimline and it has 2 seams running the length of the liner but neither seem is the center so I keep trying to guess and it's obvious once I get...
