Plastic Bead Recievers

by Amber

I have just changed my 30ft round pool liner from jhook to standard beaded liner. The bead receiver that I purchased is plastic while the old receiver is medal.

Will the plastic receiver be enough to keep my pool stable or do I need to put something else on there? I tried putting the medal ones that came off my pool over the plastic and they wouldn't fit.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!



Hi Amber. A metal rod over top of plastic receivers would be nice, and many pools are set up that way, but not essential. Some pools have nothing more than plastic coping holding the liner in place.

As long as the receivers are taped in place securely and don't seem like they want to come off in any way, the pool should be fine. If you feel rods are needed to hold the receiver in place, and they might be, Doughboy rods are fairly universal and should be big enough to fit over the receiver. If the pool is a standard round size any Doughboy dealer would be able to order a set for you.
