This past winter my vinyl liner ripped badly during a round of extreme cold. It’s finally time to replace it, I’ve called around and the going rate seems to be about $3500 including new fixtures etc. I can order a new liner for under $1000 and I’m pretty handy so I’ve decided to replace it myself as it looks pretty straight forward. While I’m at it, I’m going to replace the old non-functioning halogen light system with a new LED lighting system. The pool is a simple rectangle of 18x36 with end wall steps, three returns, a skimmer, and a main drain.
My question is are there any pitfalls I’m overlooking? Looks like I’ll need to purchase the liner, step gasket, liner wedge loc, new wall foam and adhesive, and the Treo LED light upgrade system. Anything else? I’ll have a few friends to help but there won’t be a redo if there is a stumbling block early on and I would have to go it myself probably, so I want to get my ducks in a row first.
