YES they do feel and look solid! and I am ready to patch with sheet metal any other area that might be extra rusty but TBH if that section is the worst, then I am not worried. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Sorry, hope this works.
Yes I believe so. Even the immediate area around the hole feels solid. There is no returns on liners (at least from the pool factory) so that is why I needed to be sure but again once the old liner is out I will repair any section that needs to be repaired but hopefully this is it and the wall foam should slow down any future rust and prevent any wall rust from piercing the new liner.
Yes! Thanks so much for the well wishes! Will definitely take before and after pics and hope to share a happy story soon!
Me too! Also Im thinking about my original liner and it looks like a unibead/jhook setup but as I understand it, a unibead/jhook doesn't require a clip/track. Mine has a track. I do want to reuse this track so should I order a overlap liner or unibead?Wepics around here!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Will look into POR-15.

Yep I am pretty sure now mine is a j hook or I can use a unibead. I won't convert to beaded with the special receiver piece b/c I am pretty sure this is the last time I will change the liner lol!!From what I can see, You can use a j hook or unibead liner with the coping piece you have. Your coping just sits on top of the “j” or “U” but the “j/u” sits on the pool wall correct?
A regular beaded (hung) liner would require a bead receiver piece placed directly on top of the pool wall in which the liner would snap into.
Some people choose beaded/hung liner’s because you don’t need to remove the top rail to replace them. This comes into play if you have/plan to have a deck. A unibead can be used either way.
Above Ground Pool Liner Types: The Good and the Bad
Like most things, above ground swimming pool liners have changed over the years. Back in the day when I started building these things, there was really only one type of liner available and it rarely came in any color other than solid blue. You just had no other choices. If you got an above ground
Great! I think I will just get the 32 oz (1 qt) off of amazon b/c I have degreasers and cleaners already. Thanks for your help too!

Releveling, replacing liner and re-excavating into the slope this year and replacing the pool-surrounding deck since pressure treated wood isn’t what it used to be. If only surface rust
on walls; what is the best way to treat?Not sure but Im going to do the pool liner replacement TMR and drain and fix the walls today (17 inches left but we got 4 garden hoses going atm. I will wirebrush the rust off as best as i can and patch that hole and use POR-15 WITH a galvanizing spray and then the wall foams, foam cove and gorilla pad. I hope to post some mega photos Monday so wish me LUCK yallll!Releveling, replacing liner and re-excavating into the slope this year and replacing the pool-surrounding deck since pressure treated wood isn’t what it used to be.

I would say yes. A few years ago my pool sat for a good chunk of the winter empty. The liner was leaking. Once I figured that out I just let it leak down over the winter. If you're worried about the walls blowing down, you can attach straps to the windward side of the wall and anchor them. You might have to redo some of the sand on the bottom before you put the new liner in. I also strongly recommend a liner pad before the new liner is in, if you don't have one already.
