Top rail replacement Questions?

[GenericHbomb]

Looking to get my yard landscaped and the pool deck replaced next year.

While the pool deck is torn up, I figure it is the best time to have the top rail (inground pool) replaced as it is old aluminum held together with tape. Some large gaps in it also allow dirt from under the deck to flow into the pool during heavy rains.


Wondering if it can be replaced and the liner rehung without a liner replacement?
Attached a photo of what I am talking about in case "top rail" is not the right word.

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are?

I bet that's something you want fixed soon before the weather changes on you. @jimmythegreek do you have any thoughts?

That stuff is hard to find these days. Most of that style is snap on caps. Some are not. Do you have any pieces that just pull up so I can see the underside that's holding the liner

I'll try to get a piece pulled up this week and see if I can get some pictures

Sorry the delay. Life got a little crazy there for a bit. Anyway, I pulled up a couple boards and I'm not sure if this gives any clues to your question. If not, I can keep pulling and cleaning out until it does. As for the pulling up some of the aluminum, looks like its nailed in a few spots. If you think itll be fine, I can pull a piece up. Let me know.
