Now what!? Fixed the holes, pool collapsed!

Here is where I make my big decision. If the walls are the correct size and will stretch nicely into place without wrinkles I just let the water fill. Some folks hook up a vacuum to the return opening at this point to help smooth the walls. If the walls
are baggy with way to much liner left over I use the liner like an overlap. You will need to remove the top rails again, pull the liner over the wall, use coping over the liner and the bead receivers over the coping.

That confused me a little. So basically the beaded liner would end up being an overlap liner, but then why the bead receiver if the top of the liner is now behind the wall as I'm picturing?

Thank you guys - I really appreciate the help!

Hi, once the liner has been converted to overlap and the coping installed you need retaining rods over the coping. You can use the ones that came with the pool or use the bead receivers. They would both do the same thing, they hold the coping in place and stabilize the wall.

Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you all. We ordered a new liner and have it nearly installed. We just need to cut out the area for the skimmer and resecure the top railings. The sides were all wavy and bent, but they straightened up fine and are holding well with the water now. The pool will be open this weekend unless something else happens (the way our luck has been running this week I'm afraid to not put a disclaimer in anything I say!)

Thanks!!
