I'd of never expected that blue out of a black liner with the sun on it. It looks great!!! I bet it's really black at night though!

Yes, it really does look dark blue in the sunlight. Very dramatic and definitely on the list to consider when we replace our dark blue liner.
stunning!!! never would have guessed it was vinyl liner pool. who manufactures the black liners?

Thanks for the kind words. Pool company got the liner from Merlin Industries, it is also who manufactured my pool so the liner was easier for them to measure since they had the exact measurements.

Thank you! We have made a few changes since these pictures were taken, the skimmer covers and gaskets are now black, had to have the gaskets special made and they fit right over the white ones so you cannot see the screws. Pretty slick.
Pics? Would love to see an update.doobs41378 said:
Can you see any seams at all? Can you photo the stairs?
Thanks in advance.

The last picture on page 1 is of the stairs, if you are looking for something other than that I can try and get that for you. The seams can be noticed at times. I will try and take pictures of the black covers etc when I get a free moment.
I see a tiny seam at the bottom of one of the steps, but it's totally unnoticeable. I was at a pool today that was installed last fall and I could see white seams through the colored liner and it looked pretty bad to me.
Are you having any regrets with the dark liner?
It is one of my top choices, but my wife wants to see one in person to really get the look. My pool builders I've spoken to, haven't done a black one (Southern MA).
So that's why I'm trying to get as much info from your experience.
thanks

No regrets at all with the dark color liner. My pool builder ( from MA ) as well told me I wouldnt like it as I would be able to see all the dirt much easier etc. I have Polaris 280 and a swg and to be honest have not had to vacuum it once since I got it with the exception of the coping day. My seams are not white in the least. I would have no issue if you wanted to come and look at it as I am in southern NH. As said in an earlier post get 2 lights with the darker liner and if you want the darker gasket covers etc then those can be very hard to find. Hayward made mine and they took like 3 months to receive.
Ft Wayne also has that same liner and builds what is called an Ultra Seam, seams on the floor are almost impossible to find.
Can you give details on how the coping was done? Thats exactly what I have been looking to see. I think it makes the liner pool look so much better. Do you remember the colors and brand of pavers you used? Planning to build next year. I am definitely saving this in my portfolio of ideas!

They are made by Techo Bloc. I am not positive of color but I doubt they have tons of gray coping choices so should be pretty easy to narrow down when you go to buy them. The coping blocks come with rounded edges so they lay it out, make thier cuts for the odd shaped ones and pieces, then they mortar them to the base and then in between. It took 3 guys 2 days to do.

So you used the same base under the pavers and coping. The difference is the coping was mortared in.
