Do y’all have an opinion on overlap vs beaded? I was wanting beaded bc we didn’t get this overlap one even and if we install ourselves it sounded easier.
Need advice on liner!

The beaded/hook ones are easier for diy. They are also more expensive.
Some types require a bead receiver. Unibead can go either way (receiver or no)
There are other factors to consider as well - like if you have a deck &/ don’t want to have to remove the top rails to replace the liner in the future.

So if mine is overlap I would need unibead? We were planning on replacing the deck with the pool next spring but it does not go over the top. I think I might have my terms confused, the part that’s rusted is under the top ledge, the metal part that goes on top of the wall.

Yes - unibead can work with or without a bead receiver. J hook also hangs on the wall itself. Regular beaded (hung) liner needs a receiver.
Here’s an explanation

The four most common above ground pool liner types are the overlap, beaded J-hook/Unibead, and expandable. Find out which is the best for your pool.

That is the stabilizer bar - on my pool I also have a plastic/rubber coping strip underneath that.
Have you checked inyopools to see if they have any? They’re sold in multiple pieces. There may be an “upgraded” resin version available for your pool.
If they aren’t too bad you can attempt to sand them down, treat them with rust converter & paint them with rustoleum

Thank you! Yes, the resin upgrade for just the top stabilizers is 700 something, we can get a whole new pool for $3100 installing ourselves. We can either sand and paint and get a cheaper liner to hold out for next year or scramble up the money now. Not sure if it’s worth all the work tbh if we are replacing next yearYes - unibead can work with or without a bead receiver. J hook also hangs on the wall itself.

I'd find your leaks and triple patch them to limp through this year. So the liner is ugly. So what ? When it's at least 90 / 88%, nobody will care. Oh thank heavens the pool is WET !!!!
Use the savings to upgrade more on the new pool.
We drained it bc our yard couldn’t take on anymore water. The patch we did underwater wouldn’t hold and it’s been empty for awhile so we are hesitant to try to refill it.

Im wonderimg if that liner used organic blue dyes? They are the most fragile, I've. read. The problem is no one knows which dyes are organic and which are synthetic?

Yes, they looked pretty good from what I saw, the bottom is covered in wet green and black stuff
Possibly, wish I would’ve known that then!Im wonderimg if that liner used organic blue dyes? They are the most fragile, I've. read. The problem is no one knows which dyes are organic and which are synthetic?

If you see any rust be sure to repair it- there’s several threads recently about it here.Yes, they looked pretty good from what I saw, the bottom is covered in wet green and black stuff
