Above ground pool liners, what are they? Do you have a new above ground pool, but do not know what a liner is or what it does? Why do you need a liner for your pool and where do you get them? Pool liners go over the top of your pool and help keep the water in the pool, stop debris such as leaves, falling in the pool, and maintain a comfortable swimming temperature of the water. Liners are not irreplaceable though, and at some stage you will need to purchase another liner.
Do you need a liner that is beaded or a liner that overlaps the pool? The difference in these liners is the way in which they attach to your pool. The beaded liner will attach to the pool by a groove that goes along the edge of the liner, and then this groove will click into a track that is located inside the pool edge.
For an overlap liner, the top rail of the pool is to be removed and the liner will click into the pool with plastic clips and then the top rail of the pool is replaced.
After you decide on which liner you are going to purchase, check your pools manufacture book to find the measurements to work out what shape and size liner you will need. Buy the best quality and thickest liner that you can. If you buy a cheap thin liner you will constantly be replacing the liner, costing you more money in the end.
Keep in mind that thin liners do not last anywhere near as long as liners made from thicker vinyl. The thickness of the vinyl you purchase should be stated on the vinyl at the store where you are purchasing it.
Now that you know what type of liner and what size liner you require, you are able to choose a style of liner. You do not have to stick with the standard blue liner. You can choose a liner with fish on it, or tiles, or swirls. You can make quite a fashion statement with your liner.
Now all you need to do is have the liner fitted. If you have absolutely no idea as to how to install the liner, get a professional to do it. You could damage the liner quite easily if you do not know how to install it correctly. The installer can show you the correct way to do it, so that if you need to replace the liner again you will know how to.
