There is a dearth of good information on inground swimming pool liners, so I have collected the best of it here; all in one place! While there are many similarities to above ground practices, some things do differ, so you will need to make note of this. Before long, your inground pool will be up and booming again. Or if it’s new, you’ll be swimming in it, nice and lined, for the very first time!

The first thing I always tell people to do when they’re planning their inground swimming pool liners’ installation is to think about what kind of design or style they want to use. There’s so many options nowadays that it can be a bit overwhelming if you have to make a decision on the spot, so consider some of these example styles: greystone, Baja, an old Mayan style, or maybe another type of stone. There are tons of makes out there, and I’m not going to list them all here. Basically whatever you can think up within reason probably has a pattern out there somewhere already, especially stone-like patterns.

After that, you’ll have to make some measurements of your swimming pool. This is so that you can properly order and fit your inground swimming pool liners. Start your measurement in the shallow end, and then move your way all the way into the deep end. You’ll need at least a twenty foot measuring tape and also you should be as accurate as one quarter of an inch at the most. Any bigger error than that is really not good. Take extra time if you have to in order to get this as exact as possible. I know it’s tedious to measure your pool like this but it will pay off in a very tight-looking swimming pool liner.

The last major piece of advice I give people on how to properly maintain and install their inground swimming pool liners is to really think about hiring someone to do it. This is no easy job. If your husband is a (real) handyman, then maybe he can do it. But other than that, I would hire the job of installing the pool liners out. So many things can go wrong and just a tiny little mistake can mess up the job drastically. You want to have peace of mind once you get the inground pool up and going, and if you don’t have that then there might be leaks springing up all over the place, etc.
