Pool liner not meeting cove

[jonbrown22]

Hey everyone! hope someone can help! Self-installing a 27x52 round. Having issues with the liner. It's a Beaded liner that the top rail goes over. It seems after it's all seated that we cannot get the liner to sit properly on the cove. (styrofoam). We checked to make sure the roundness was good....which it was. The liner has sit outside for about 4 days in warm and cool temps. I heard they can shrink if left outdoors.....but really.....that much?? I'm stumped!

thanks!

We have a couple of pool installers who can probably advise you -- especially one of our favorite members, Waste -- aka Ted. Hopefully he'll be around soon and maybe he can give you some advice.

How large are the voids or wrinkles?

Are they uniformly around the pool?

As for a liner sitting outdoors - they won't, per. se. shrink, unless it's ~ freezing and it's usually a good idea to let them sit outside a day or 2 before a spring install (so that it's 'daytime warm')

Any chance of some pics? (They really can be worth 1000 words )
