New Pool and Liner

by Kristall
(Corinth MS)

We are installing a new pool and liner, the pool walls are completely level and at 24 foot. The liner however is 24 foot one way and the other way is 23'1". The 23'1" is the direction the seam runs, there are no wrinkles this direction. Why is it to short that direction?




Hi Kristall. If this is truly the case you have a defective liner. With the liner laid out smooth, the outer seam should measure the same no matter where you measure it. The bottom section of the liner should be round. If this is not the case, and if it is causing you problems, you should contact the liner manufacturer and see what they say. Hopefully they will exchange the liner for you.

This page shows how I install most of the liners I do, regardless of whether they have deep ends or not.

Expandable Liner Installation

Stretching a liner into a pool in this manor should result in a quality job regardless of how round the bottom of the liner is. This method might be the answer to your problems.
