How Do You Install A Beaded Liner In An Above-Ground Pool?
The purpose of a pool liner is to keep the water inside of the pool and prevent it from seeping into the ground. Although there are several types of pool liners for above-ground pools, the beaded liner is the easiest to install. There are two types of beaded liners. The traditional bead liner snaps into a track along the edge of the pool. The “V” bead liner overlaps the pool edge and is covered with tubing. Both types of beaded liners are easy to install, but the project requires more than one person to accomplish. Unpack the pool liner and open it up completely. Lay the liner in a flat, sunny location and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes. This allows the wrinkles to fall out and warms up the liner. Use scissors to cut a piece of cardboard that is 2 inches longer and wider than the pool’s skimmer opening. Place the cardboard over the skimmer opening. Secure it to the wall using duct tape placed around the edges. Place the vacuum hose into the return hole for the skimmer. The end
