Need tips on installing a pool liner.?
Question:We have purchased an above ground 24 ft round pool.walls are up level sand in place.does anyone know the best way to get the liner in evenly.we tryed once relizing something was wrong took it down before filling...found out when the man that helped with the sand ended up pushing to much sand in one side of the pool which made it not round any more...we have now measured all around to insure its perfectly round. tried again and seems like it starts out ok but getting to the end its too tight and wont fit right .it is the right size...just need some hints on how we can do this easier and a better way.
Answers:
This is how I did mine. Once your sandy bottom is ready put your liner in the pool have an equal amount hanging over the outside of the pool all around. Secure the liner to the outer wall with clothes pins. Start filling the pool with water, as the liner becomes tight go around your circle loosening the clothes pins and allowing a few inches of liner back into the pool. Try to be consistent the amount you losen up. Continue this process until the pool is full.
Long slow process, worked for us, no wrinkles and no short spots on the liner in the end.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I don't know that there are any. We tried them all, and ended up with nightmares.
Finally gave in and had to buy a whole new liner and ended up having them put it in because if they tore it, they paid for it.
