Liner slipped overnight! HELP!

[britinusa]

I used heavy duty spring clamps on mine, Anyway how much of a stretch are we talking about?
Can you post a picture?

It was short by about an inch or so. We rented a pump and pumped about 6" of water out, leaving about 4" in the pool. We did come back this morning and add the clamps to hold it up as we worked.

The sun is out and warmed up the vinyl so we were able to stretch it out and get the coping on (which is probably what we should have done in the first place).

Now, we have it all stretched over, coping is on, and we are back to filling. So far, we're back in business but I can tell you that we WON'T be filling it up at night ever again!!!

Do you think the vinyl can slip out of the coping at all?

Beaded liners can sometimes come out, but if you have a J hook or overlap you should have no issues.

Well, thank heavens the sun came out! We were able to stretch the liner back over the side of the pool. The pool is now full and all is well. Whew! It was a bit of a nightmare but we are wiser now. Now to get the water chemistry correct and we will be enjoying our new pool with NO footprints and a Happy Bottom floor!!!
