try Northwest Wholesale Pools, they have an instructional CD for $1 and it shows exactly how to measure for an inground liner. The CD would cost next to nothing to ship, totally worth it...they'll also sell you a liner, I highly recomend them. good luck
That normally depends on where you are getting the liner from, but in most cases, you measure the pool diameter and actual pool wall height. When you order the liner, let the liner manufacturer know the liner is for an above-ground pool with an overlap liner. The liner manufacturer will then make the pool wall enough longer to allow several inches of liner material to fold over the top of the pool wall and anchor it in place with the liner locking strips.
There are many places where one can buy a pool liner. One can buy a pool liner at popular on the web sources such as Liner World, USA Pool Pros, and National Pool Wholesalers.
The pool liner pad is placed underneath the pool liner to prevent items from cutting through the liner. If the liner is already leaking, the liner pad will not stop the leak.
by taking the liner away!
Overlap refers to just that... the liner overlaps the top of the pool. The other option is a hung liner, where the liner locks into a track..

The easiest way is to simply measure across the pool as close to the center line as you can. Also, measure from several different spots to get the closest average. If you need the measurement for around the outside of the pool the you would want to measure the diameter (the distance from one side to the other) as close to the center as you can and multiply that distance (in inches) time 3.1415. For example, if the pool measure 12 feet across (144 inches) then the distance around the pool would be 452.3 inches. The pool liner supplier will most likely just need the diameter and the height of the pool.
The pool water draws its color from the liner. If you buy a white liner, then the pool water will not be blue. If you use a light blue liner, then the pool will be light blue. In my opinion, the best liner is a darker blue liner with ripples on it. Your pool will look gorgeous and inviting and the ripple effect makes it difficult to see any dirt in your pool. A solid color liner lets you see everything, which isn't always pretty.
There are a number of products you can use to prolong the life of your pool. You could install a wall foam between your pool wall and the liner to keep a smooth surface next to your liner to help prevent punctures. You could purchase a liner pad or pool padding for the bottom of your pool. And you can invest in vinyl liner repair kits to repair the small punctures and prolong the life of your liner.
You can rehang the liner on your above-ground pool if it fell over in the winter but you will need to remove the pool corner caps, the rail, and all of the water. You can then re-stretch the pool liner and refill the pool.
