Need reccomendation for new liner !

[Heavyhook]

Could someone recommend a good quality liner for my 16 X 32 doughboy AGP ? If their is a source where the WEBSITE gets a credit for my purchase that would be even better. Thanks

Do you intend to install it yourself? (Not sure if Ben is connected to any parts-supplier houses).

I am going to install the new liner my self with the help of a few friends as free labor. My Doughboy folds over the top of the wall edge and has a approx. 4 foot plastic clip that slides down over it to make the wall connection. I have watched a half dozen or so videos on YouTube that show liner replacements and am comfortable doing it. Also I have noticed liner thickness from 20 gage to 30 gage with 30 being the most expensive and I assume the thickest. Which do you recommend? This is a bit confusing because I am familiar with using sheet metal that is measured by a gauge system. In metal the lower the number the thicker the sheet. It seems the pool or vinyl industry are using just the opposite to rate the thickness of their products!

Liners are measured in mils. The more mils, the thicker the liner. It's not like wire or metal sizes, which are backwards, anyway. 30 mils is thicker than 20. Thicker is usually better. You have what is called an "overlap liner". Not bad, not good, just a type.

When I got a new pool a year ago, I bought a 28 mil liner.

Thanks Watermom, I was actually hoping you would join in on this thread. I tried to find a way to send you a PM thru the website to see if you could share where you purchased your new liner last year. If you cant share that info in this forum maybe you could send me a PM with the info. I will also use the Amazon link here and see what they have, Thanks
