Overlap or Unibead

[RodRamos]

We are installing an 18'x52 agp and burying 2 ft underground. We have the option of selecting a unibead or overlap liner. I've been told beaded and unibead liners perform better, are easier to align and last longer. What's the consensus here?

Thank you.

I wish I would've looked more into the differences when we made our decisions a couple of months ago.
The overlap is what we went with and just based on pure aesthetics, I didn't realize the visible overhang on the outside of the pool from that style of liner.
In a few months, I plan to carefully remove the extra overhang, leaving an inch or so, with a razor.

I used a unibead for my first, and only, well unless you count my previous Intex Easy Set, AGP install. Installation was easy and results were perfect. I’d say unibead.

I have had both. Unibead is great. I also went with the thickest option the store offered.

I have an overlap, like @dbdubb28 I wish I would have researched more and gone with beaded or hooked. it's hard to get an overlap straight.

Consider removing a few of the top rails at a time and fold the liner under itself to the inside of the wall then replace the rails. It doesn't show. Cutting it might become a problem.
