Torn Pool Wall

We have a 2yr old 24ft above ground pool. The liner came out from under the rail and the wall tore. Any fix for a torn wall or do I have to replace it?

Hi. I am going to include a response I just gave the other day. It explains about holes and tears in above ground pool sidewalls. They do happen and they can be repaired. I do suggest you use caution and your best judgment. The larger the tear the bigger the patch needs to be and the more chance you have of it bursting when the pool is full of water.

A side wall that has completely, or almost completely deteriorated from rust is far more likely to burst than a good wall with just a small tear in it. These can be hammered out flat with a hammer and a 2x4 and then patched with flat stock and duck tape.

Below was my answer to a very similar question.

Holes in a sidewall can easily be repaired. What you are describing could probably be taken care of with just tape or aluminum tape. Another way to fix it would be to tape a piece of aluminum, or metal over the hole. A piece of flat stock about the size and thickness of the base of a pie pan is just fine. In a pinch I have made repair patches out of cookie sheets, pie pans and a beer can. It just takes a pair of tin snips. Hardware stores also carry 12 and 18 inch flat stock that is used for bending into fascia wraps and other types of house trim.
