Need reccomendation for new liner !

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

I actually ordered it through my local pool dealer. I didn't like any of the patterns they had for above ground pools, so I ended up ordering an inground liner. It was a little more costly but I decided that getting a pattern I liked was worth it.

The liner I had previously was one that I ordered online. I will look and see if I can find where I ordered it or at least what brand it was. If I can, I'll update this thread.

(By the way, the PM feature on the forum is not working.)

I need to order a new one this next week....in Texas we are about 6 weeks out on 100 degrees.....

I live about 60 miles south of you. If we are going to 100 degrees in six weeks I'm packing and moving to the mountain's somewhere. We may start seeing 100 degrees as early as June 1st
some years but most summers its around of the end of June before we start hovering around the century mark. I will give you with our 80% humidity it can sure feel like that much sooner! Oh got off track WERE LOOKING FOR A GOOD PLACE TO BUY A NEW LINER !!!

Hey 95 in April is possible. Close enough for my fat gut! I just need the best place to buy a new liner. I also, would like thoughts on getting a dark colored liner, to retain heat....use it earlier in the season, longer into the night during the summer and further into fall.....

thoughts?
