Gettting a new liner this year, couple questions

[poolmom06]

Our liner is in rough condiiton and it needs to be replaced, we are going to start looking for a new one, does anyone have any places to look for a new one? We don't really want plain blue one, but one with some kind of pattern.

How hard is it for a layperson to change the liner in an AG 18 ft round pool?
We put the pool up ourselves and it went well, but I just wonder how many extra pairs of hands we will need for the new liner? There are three of us, so maybe another three??

Can anyone give me any pointers??

I haven't got the knowledge/experience to give advice on liners. But you could take a look at this post. Scroll down until you see the section on liners. There you'll find a number of threads to go through until someone with a bit more knowledgeable comes along


good luck,

Nothing to it, especially if you're going to get a j-mold liner (preferred).
On an overlap, you might need a couple of extra hands, but kids will do since there's 0 skill required.
I did my 30 foot j mold liner with a total of 3 adults and I helped my neighbour change his overlap liner on a 24 foot pool, between the two of us and a 6 and 10 year old we had it installed in no time.

Pay special attention to how thickness is specified.

Poolmom, when it comes to extra hands keep it to a minimum. More is not always better. A three person job at most. I enjoy working alone at times.

Hi Dan, thanks again for all of your help. The link in your post is bad. This may have happened when Watermom did the redo, not sure but here it is

Matt, what’s up with this? “but kids will do since there's 0 skill required”
Not sure how to take that.

Poconos, I love that thread, I was sure to include it in the faq’s.

Dennis, Thanks for the heads up about the broken link...I'll get it fixed now.


Thanks again for all the work you put into the AGP FAQ's. I have no doubt I'll be referencing it from time to time. This forum has helped me so much, I was glad to give just a little bit back. Thanks!
