I have a 25 year old pool that is 16 x 24 with the 8ft deck on one end. I want to redo everything decking coping liner. It has a 7 inch plastic coping that receives the beaded liner and am having a hard time justifying $2000.00. It looks like the Fanta-Sea pool but everything is wood. 48 inches deep. Any one know if I use the Fanta Sea coping if it will work. It is plastic and if it last another 25 years I would be more than happy. The existing coping has a 6 inch radius corner and the Fanta Sea looks like a square corner, but it seems if I get a liner that fits a Fanta Sea pool it should work. The original pool was a Sun Holiday pool sold here in Columbus Ohio that is no longer in business.

You want to rehab a 25 year old AG pool, made by a company no longer in business??
Is this for a pool, or a hobby?
Regardless, it's not anything I can help with. I'll put your post where others can see it. But your best bet might be to post on poolspaforum.com. There are a lot of pool guys on that forum, and you might luck into some old semi-retired pool guy who's bored.
If you succeed in getting it going, come back here when it's time to take care of the chemistry!

Too funny. This pool has a history.
Got divorced and to prove a point to the ex, took the pool apart piece by piece 18 years ago and stored it, then rebuilt it on my new home. it's been a perfect pool for another 18 years and decided to put some money into it rather than spend another $11,000 for a new one, which is how much it cost new.
Probably couldn't buy the same thing now for that money. I'm always up to a challenge. Lol. in 35 years of keeping a pool I've never had water quality problems like I read on here. Got a semi retired pool guy that said he could rehab the pool for $6,000 and I told him he should be able to do it for 1/2 that. He laughed and said I couldn't do it myself for that. Out to prove another point I guess.

Ok. It's a hobby. ;)
That's fine, then. (For you, not for me!)
