    Thumbs up Re: Liner Install

    Denise, depending on how 'handy' you are - you could probably do this yourself

    With a beaded liner it's important to have the floor be a ~little below what they cut the liner to - the liner needs to stretch into place. If you have too much floor, the liner will wrinkle - alternatively, if the floor (or wall cove) is to deep, there will be undue stress on the liner and it will fail prematurely

    I assume you have a sand bottom which will need a little retroweling before the new liner is dropped. If you want any tips and tricks for the troweling and think you can retrowel it yourself, let me know - I've done this a few dozen times

    A strong shop-vac or vac/ blower will be needed to set the new liner - I hope you have access to one.

    What are the shape and dimensions of the pool?

    I, and the others here, will be here to help, should you need it
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Default Re: Liner Install

    Thanks Waste for answering. My pool is a 30' round, and we do have a shop vac. The bottom is sand and will need retroweling. I noticed today that the moles haven't wasted any time and have started tunneling under the pool and heaving up the sand. I know their are people who care about animals-and I do too, but when it comes to mole, there's no love lost here. Those animals have cost me hundreds of dollars with their destructive ways and they're nearly unstoppable. I'm wondering if I should check the level from one side to the other to make sure it's not to far out of plumb? Is a laser level easy to use and rentable?
