liner repair

I have a coleman above ground pool, 22'x52". When putting it up I noticed there is a small rip where the top rails of the pool are inserted(see attached pic). I was wondering if I could patch the inside and outside of the rip and still use this liner?

Did you buy it like this?

If this is a brand new pool, first set up, I'd take it back to the store to exchange it. If it's older but still under warranty, contact the not for a replacement liner.

If it's out of warranty, your only option is to try patching it.

The pool was given to me like this.

I would attempt to patch it inside and out. Keep an eye on it and I would think it should be fine if set up level. Not sure how well it would work but I would also attempt to use a hole punch to punch the very end of the rip, it might keep it from ripping more. It's a trick used for cracks in metal/aluminum panel called stop drilling. I would think it would work on a liner like this also.

You can try reinforcing the tear with vinyl liner patch. We had a member do this last summer and I think it held up all season.
