How is an inground pool liner installed?
Preparation for a vinyl liner is pretty much the same as for any other finish, but if it is already smooth, the liner may be installed directly over the top. For a premium result though, some installers will render the old finish, or place a foam underlay between the two surfaces. When the surface is ready, the liner is put into position, then vacuum sealed. The pool is ready to be filled immediately – in fact, it is the weight of the water that holds the liner in place. If you have steps or a bench, you will see that your installer will use weights to secure the liner until the water reaches the appropriate level. A liner must be installed by an industry professional. Enter your postcode into the ‘find a supplier’ facility to get some contact details of installers in your area.
