Pool Wall Repair

Liner changing time for your above ground pool is a perfect time to do some pool wall repair.

It is best to start by cutting the old liner out with a razor knife. Once the liner has been removed from the pool closely examine the pool wall. Does it look anything like the one pictured below?

A wall that is maintained at every liner change will outlast the neglected ones by many years.

This pool wall has a lot of rust around the top and some minor issues around the base. I would recommend sanding the rust away and painting the wall with some spray paint. Be sure to give the paint plenty of time to dry before installing your new liner. If at anytime you see holes in the wall take a little time and repair them correctly. After sanding and painting, duct tape flat sheets of metal over the holes for extra strength.

It is also a good idea to examine the wall for anything sharp. Dents and calcium deposits are the most common causes of sharp edges. Sand away or tape over any or these.

Spend a little time on wall maintenance and you will increase the life of your pool by many years.
