Installing a Beaded Liner

I am installing a beaded liner and need help on what direction the bead receiver goes on the top. Do you slip the liner in it on the inside or outside?



Hi. The bead receiver hooks over the top of the pool wall. You might have retaining rods that fit over the receivers or you might not. All of the joints in the receivers need taped to prevent any sharp edges from tearing the liner. I also use the tape to secure each receiver to the wall so that it does not slip off. The lip that holds the liner bead goes on the inside of the pool.

When the liner is opened up, inside the pool, the bead hooks into the receiver, also on the inside of the pool. A beaded liner can be installed without taking the pool top rails off, as long as you already have a receiver in place. This makes them a good choice for pools with decking over the rails.
