    Ted, what would you recommend as the best method to secure the liner during the fill process? I have used clothespins before and found them fairly convenient but if there's a better way, I'd definitely be interested. The more knowledge the better for future reference.

    Jw, you got it - wooden clothespins

    I use the ones with a spring, only because I've never tried the one piece kind. I fear that the plastic clothespins might tear the liner. Also, with the spring type, you don't have a pinch point.

    The problem with using the toprail is graphically shown in one of the pictures above - it popped off and ended up in the pool, if a corner had landed first, it could have torn the liner.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
