24 foot x 52 inch Beaded Liner

by Tommy

I am installing a 24foot x 52inch pool and was wondering if base is 2 inches of sand, if it is deeper, will the liner be too tall and not sit right?

Or do I have to have it at 2 inches? Thanks, Tommy.



Hi Tommy. Two inches is just about the right amount of sand. If you make it deeper you run the risk of having a lot of footprints in the bottom of your pool. Sand does not pack well when it gets to deep.

There is no way of knowing how a beaded liner will fit. You may find our beaded liner installation page helpful.

Beaded Liner Installation

Anytime I see that a beaded liner is going to be to big, which they are frequently, I pull it up and over the wall and put coping on it. This turns the liner into an overlap liner. I have no patients for liners that are too big for the pool and make me look like a bad installer.

After pulling the liner up and over the wall and installing coping over it, I use the bead receivers over top of the coping to hold everything in place.
