Liner and pool size problem

[True Blue]

Hello, again, pool forum!

My above ground pool (that was already installed at the house that I purchased ten years ago) has a tear in the liner, above the water line, parallel to the ground and about 2 feet in length. I decided to purchase another liner, but the problem is that upon measuring, we found my pool to be a non-standard diameter - 19 feet 10 inches! Has anyone heard of a pool in this range of size? I have called four pool stores. Most aren't willing to help at all. A couple have offered a custom made liner, were supposed to check on pricing, but have not returned my call.

What are my options? Is a patch even possible at this point? If that would work, I'd go that route for a while, as I am getting ready to be gone for 6 weeks and close friends were going to take care of and use the pool while I was gone, as they did last summer.

I wonder if it is supposed to be a 20' pool. Are you measuring from the inside or the outside? Did you try going across at several different places to see if maybe it has gotten out of round?

It's possible, but I can't find any prices for liners for a 20 ft pool, either.

I have no experience w/ this company, but here is somewhere to start. Looks like they have several patterns in 20'
