    Used Pool Walls: Tanning / Wading Pool - Cheap Liner Options?

    All, We've started digging today for a budget pool build. We purchased two sets of used steel walls and are going to reuse them for a 16' x 36' inground pool (purchased a liner that was ordered the wrong dimensions). My question is this: I have enough walls to do the complete 16' x 36' pool...

    Above Ground Step Help

    Hi all, We’re going to be purchasing our first pool shortly. We’re going with a semi-inground built into our deck. We're slightly budget-restricted, but pretty handy.... Is there any way we could build a concrete step form into our pool frame, and cover it with a custom liner? I don't love any...

    Pool Leak

    I suspected a leak all last season, but now that the pool is closed I definitely have a leak. My pool has lost water down to only about a foot of water in the pool since it was closed. So does it mean it's the liner, since everything is plugged and closed? So sad that the liner only got 6...

    Freshly Installed Liner - lots of wrinkles. Suggestions?

    So I (finally) got my pool up today and started filling it. Not long after I realized, dang it - we really didn't do the best job with the overlap liner. There are lots of wrinkles and in some areas we did not pull the liner over the top very much at all. Is this a sound installation? Is it...

    Is this seam fine..?

    Is this seam fine in the attached image? Originally started leaking after being filled up for a day and in the pic is the patch behind it (also added one in front) that the company sent since it’s a brand new liner. You can see the shadow of the seam overlap and how thin it gets, and it got...

    Anchoring Pool Liner Extrusion - Wood vs Concrete ?

    Hello Everyone, I'm having some masonry repair work done on my IGP walls to support a new liner extrusion. The mason is recommending that he build the wall up an 1.5" higher and avoiding using the PT wood to support the liner extrusion. The pool contractor doing the liner is fine with this...

    Large liner Rip

    I have a 24ft round above ground pool that I closed a few weeks ago. Last night, a deer decided to go for a swim and jumped in damaging both the winter cover and liner in the process.

    Hi all, new here and new pool owner! Recently bought a home with an in-ground pool (around 16 x 40ft, 25,000 gallons).

    Help with New Liner Selection

    Hey everyone! So, my pool is about 15 years old, and the liner had a pinhole leak in it. While the pool was partially drained over the winter, water was able to leak in between the liner and pool wall and then freeze. The expanding ice behind the liner caused it to separate itself from the pool...
