What is the best temperature to install new liner

[kaybinster]

I had a section come out on my IG pool when I opened it a few weeks ago. The temperature was quite cold so I just used a hair dryers to carefully heat the liner so I could stretch it and get it back in the track.

Thanks for the replies. We did get the liner to fit. The sun made a big difference. Filling it with warm water now to work the wrinkles out. Thanks again

How warm was it when you got it to work well? Once it was warmer and it went in, was the J-hook a nice fit? Our new pool has a j hook too but will be installed in May after site prep. Thanks.

It went up to 60 that day, I'm sure your install will go fine. The thing that made the biggest difference was the sun. The whole install was easier that I expected. Good Luck!

Yes, direct sunlight is the big factor, not the temp so much. High noon on a sunny day is ideal.
