Help Help Help!!!.....liner out of track all around deep end of pool!!!

Heather, it indeed sounds like the receiver has rotted out

There is 'side mount' receiver that would save you the trouble of ripping up the deck to replace the bad section. It's $10+ per foot and has to be ordered in 10' lengths...

I'm thinking that you might be able to Crazy Glue (tm) the liner in a couple places, as long as you're gonna replace the liner next season and get some new receiver.

I'd like to know how and why the existing receiver failed so as to try to determine if the rest will eventually fail. As long as you're getting a new liner, it's best to make sure that the track will last as long as the liner.

I am thinking we will use good old duct tape to hold liner up to the wall ...will look crappy, but a temporary measure till replacement. Thanks for the tip about the side mount receiver...glad to see there is such a thing. Thanks again for all the help!!

...so I MacGuyver'd the liner in the deepend and all is well to get through the season. We ended up gluing vinyl patch sheets to liner then attaching them to deck with good old duct tape...it aint pretty but it is serving the purpose!!! I got my estimate for new liner and new tracking and we will be ready to roll come spring!! Thanks for all your suggestions...love this forum!!

I'm impressed, Heather! If my liner ever comes loose I know I'm going to freak out. In reading through this thread you stayed calm, did what had to be done, improvised, tried different things . . . but you stayed calm. Guess whom I'm going to shout out to if my liner pops out?

LOL...even my hubby was impressed. Now I am looking forward to many trouble free years once we get the new liner next year
