I am very impressed that my 4x15 steel frame pool has lasted 9 years here in NJ, it's been through rough winters and hurricanes. I've replaced the liner once by purchasing a regular pool liner and placing it over the original liner. Does anyone have one this old in rough climate like mine?
My Intex pool has last 9 years so far!

Wow! You're to be congratulated on magnificent care of your pool! Mine is a Bestway steel frame pool, we just put it up this past weekend. I can only hope mine lasts as long as yours!
What did you do to make it last so long? Any tips or tricks you can share? And welcome to TFP!!

Mine kicked the bucket after 5 years. I have been wondering today about a way to wrap the top rail in plastic to keep it dry and prolong life... I wonder if adding the second liner may have done just that? how did you clip it in place?
Wow!! 9 years is great for a soft side pool. I think the overlap liner helped you get some extra life out of the steel frame. From what I hear, they don't make them that well anymore.
I do agree that the 2nd liner on top of the original liner helping. I was at an estate sale and purchased the same pool brand new in the box for $50. So I do have a backup if needed.
