A-B-Cs of liner tucks

[danl]

Maybe, I'm calling the wrong thing a rail. I don't know what I'm talking about 1/2 the time.

I'm referring to the wide pieces that are about 4 feet long that sit on top of the side wall. I can't get to the top of my liner without removing them.

Danl, you can remove the top rail to better expose the track - a lot of times you absolutely HAVE to to gain the access you need. If you are doing multiple 'liner tucks', replace as much as you can before proceeding to the next one - some of them may require having 2 off at a time, because it falls at an upright (I'm assuming that we are talking about an AG pool)

As a tip on reinstalling the top rail, don't fully tighten any of the screws down all the way until all 4 screws are started and the rail sits in it's proper position

Thank you Janet !

Thanks Waste
I was just afraid I was about to be buried in about 17,000 gallons of water when I removed the top rails.
I can't get to the track at all on mine without removing them. and naturally it is mostly on both sides of an upright.


I don't know why I had so many this spring when I removed the cover. Six places I think.

Does the penny really work?

Glad I was able to help

The penny (sometimes you need to use more than 1) trick does work - what you are trying to do is put a wedge in the track where the liner is trying to come out to keep downward pressure on the liner at the track so that the 'barb' on the bead will stay locked onto the track. As such, anything you can use to make that wedge will work, be it coins or pieces of credit card, etc.

Have a great summer and enjoy the pool - we'll be here if you have any other questions
