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.



However, with today's superior materials that can withstand both the exposure to water, exposure to Ultra Violet rays from the sun, and are more robust to withstand the wear and tear from sharp nails or just standard usage, liners today will last and perform well for years and years to come.

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.

If you choose an overlap liner, it is attached to the pool by removing the top rail of the pool and attaching the liner with plastic clips, then replacing the top rail.

Now that you know which liner you want you need to find the measurements of your pool to order a liner that will fit the size and shape of the pool. The best investment you can make in your pool is to buy the best quality liner. If you purchase a cheaper liner, it will damage easily and you may have to replace it more often.

One thing to remember with liners is that if they are made from thick vinyl they will last longer than if you were to use a liner made from a thinner vinyl. You will be able to check the thickness of the liner when purchasing the liner from a pool liner outlet.

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.

The last thing to do with for your new bright above ground pool liner is have it installed. If you have installed a liner before, then go for it. If you have not installed one before, get help from a professional. You have just spent a lot of money on your liner and you do not want to damage it by installing it incorrectly. Ask the professional installer to show you the right way to install the liner so that if you ever have to replace your liner you can do it yourself if you wish.
