Swimming Pool Liners

If one of your diy projects this summer is to install or maintain a swimming pool then you will need to consider taking care of its liner. Liners have 2 main functions: to keep the pool looking attractive and to protect the interior surface from damage. Commonly made from a durable vinyl, they are used in certain types of "inground pools" but more often in "above ground pools". Liners are built to last but tend to decay over time, needing to be replaced every 10 - 15 years, on average. They come in a myriad of shapes and sizes in order to fit the variety of swimming pools available for sale so it is important to know what size your pool is before you buy. For example, if you have a 12 foot circular pool, the 12 feet overlap liner would be a suitable match. The "overlap" quality refers to one of the 3 main ways a liner is normally attached to the side of the pool, the other 2 being "J-hook" and "beaded". A good good place to find a cheap replacement liner is Ebay. See below for the latest offers. For products from our preferred online seller, In The Swim look further down the page.
