I just bought a new beaded liner to replace my old one which is also a beaded...but after installing it it doesn't seem to fit right..seems like it is to big because there is a lot of excess material left..and yes it is the same size as my old one which is 15x52....I've tried and tried to smooth out the excess material but it just seems there is to much..any ideas of what might be wrong...my pool is an above ground round 15x52...could i install the beaded liner as an overlap liner instead?

Hi Nick, It is not uncommon for beaded liners to be to large for the pool. You have two options. You can work the wrinkles out to be as small as possible or convert to an overlap type installation. I prefer converting to overlap. It will allow you to install the liner without any wrinkles. In most cases all you need to buy are the coping strips. The coping strips go over the liner and the bead receiver goes back on over the coping.
