Rip in pool liner on top step.....:(

[sns126]

We have a in ground pool, the corners in the shallow end by the steps have started to pull away aliitle, we use popsicle sticks to push it back in and it works for a little while, today we were out and the side corner was pulled away a little and one of the kids got out and stepped on the side causing it to rip.....is there a corner patch or a way to patch this big hole? Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forum!!

There are patch kits available, but i"ll leave your question for others who are more experienced with it than I. I'll alert Waste (aka Ted, our liner expert) to check in here and see if he can answer this for you.

Thanks so much, we are panicking thinking we will have to replace the whole liner...i am hoping there is a way to just replace the liner on the whole top step, i don't know if thats possible but i sure hope so

I don't know if that's possible either, but I sent him a message to check in here, so hopefully you'll hear from him sometime today.

Welcome to THE Forum!

While there are ways to weld a new seam into an existing liner, I'm pretty sure it's cost you more than a new liner.

Please take a look at the info in this thread for info on patching a liner.

BTW - how old is the liner?

I probably won't be here tomorrow but will be this weekend.
