INGROUND LINERS: BUYER’S GUIDE & FAQ

Pool FAQs YOU ASKED
WE ANSWERED

Beach Ball How do I know if I need a new liner? [open]
Triangle
Eventually a patch won’t cut it, and you’ll need to purchase a new liner. The sun’s UV rays damage your liner over time and the chemicals you pour in your pool will slowly cause cracking and tearing, making the liner brittle and weak. Expansion and contraction while damage your liner due to the seasons naturally changing, this creates the oppportunities for leaks to appear. Above all, old age weighs on your liner. Fading and staining happen naturally over time due to the liner's exposure to the sun and harsh elements, so you may want a new liner that makes your eyes pop a lot more than your old one..

If all these factors have come together and you can’t just put a patch on it, it’s time to get a new liner. [Shop All Inground Liners]

Beach Ball Wall Attachment Style [open]
Triangle
Most inground pools accept standard beads, making them almost universal for inground pools. They’re also easy to install since they slip right into the bead receiver. The standard bead isn’t entirely universal however, some brands of pools may require a brand-specific bead type.
Beach Ball Picking a Pattern [open]
Triangle
We have dozens of patterns options to fit your style. Pick the pattern that fits your aesthetic and will match the look you want for your backyard. Pattern comes down to personal preference but it can be helpful to note that darker liners will attract more heat than lighter liners but they will fade more over time from sun and chlorine. A swirling pattern has its own set of benefits such as masking dirt better. [Shop All Inground Liners]
Beach Ball Liner Gauge [open]
Triangle
You’ll want to consider the thickness — or gauge. While all liners are made of vinyl, they have different thicknesses. The higher the gauge, the thicker it will be. Durability also depends on the gauge as well; you may want to go with the thickest liner, however it will be much more expensive. It’s best to pick the thickest gauge that fits within your budget.
