Replace Doughboy Pool

by Doughboy Owner
(Georgia)

We currently have a 16' x 32' oval Doughboy above ground pool with wood decking around 3 sides that is at least 15 years old and the pool has a deep end with an expandable (overlap) liner.

To refresh the pool, we would like to replace the (leaking) liner, (cracked) liner caps and (bent) rail caps.

Would this be possible and, if so, how could we order these replacement parts and at what approximate cost?

Also, would it be less expensive to replace the pool with the same size/shape pool than the initial purchase/installation since we would imagine no excavation would be necessary? One more thing, how costly is it to have the Doughboy AG Pool installed in-ground?



Hi. The liner and coping for this size pool could be purchased just about anywhere. I do feel, however, your best option would be to use Doughboy brand products. The Doughboy liners are better than anything else on the market and well worth the extra cost. The liner, coping and all other parts could be ordered from any store that sell the Doughboy brand.

The links below will show you the proper way to install a liner with a deep end, and that may mean removing some or all of your deck. The liner must be able to hang over the pool and be stretched into place.

If your pool is in decent shape you are better off putting a little money into it and fixing it up. The labor costs to work on oval pools is a lot more than round ones because they are much more complicated.

Just using ballpark figures, the normal installation for a 16' x 32' pool is about a thousand dollars. That could easily double or triple if you wanted it in ground.
