What is the difference between a beaded liner and an overlap liner for above ground swimming pools?
A beaded liner will have a thick bead or lip of vinyl around the top of the liner. This bead will fit into a track which is made to receive the bead at the top edge of your pool. To replace it you simply pull out the old one an insert the new. There is a little more to it, but as far as the bead is concerned that is all you have to do with it. Overlap liners are harder to install because there is no bead so you don't know where the correct height is. You overlap the liner over the top edge of the swimming pool and clamp it in place with a piece of plastic. A beaded liner is harder to measure but easier to install and a over lapping liner is just the opposite because you are constantly adjusting the plastic clamps.

Can you install a pool liner over an old one?
Honestly, the best thing to do is call your local pool store and have them send someone to do it. It's fairly tricky to do, and it really easy to tear the liner during install. Also, the temperature outside has to be just right. If it's too cold, the liner will crack and tear very easily. If it's too hot, the liner will over-stretch. You can go to www.backyardescape.com to find a pool store in your area. They seem to be the best place. The site is put together by the biggest pool companies in the country, and all the stores that buy from them are listed, so it seems to be the most comprehensive list I've found yet. Good luck! Maybe this will help, but it is a lot of work and things could go wrong. Installation instructions are available at instheswim.com. These instructions seem to be a bit simplistic, but who am I to criticize. It probably would be good to consult a pool shop professional if you can. When I installed my liner I did not follow these instructions. Anyway, to locate the instructions, go to the main page at intheswim.com. Click on the category

Can you rehang the liner on your above-ground pool if it fell over in the winter?
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.
How much pool liner do you allow at top for overlap pools?
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.
Do you have to use a Doughboy liner in a Doughboy pool?
Doughboy above ground swimming pools are available in many sizes, from small round pools, to large ovals. Generally, Doughboy pools are "true measure" pools, meaning that a 24' round pool will measure exactly 24'0" from wall to wall. some pools are measured differently, so it depends on the size of the liner.There are essentially 3 types of liners:Overlap liners, which have no bead, are usually stretched into place, to avoid wrinkles. In recent years, most liners are sold to fit either 48" or 52" wall heights. You simply have more excess liner left over, which I recommend be folded under, so that you have a double thickness of liner where it goes over the wall. then clip it on with the coping strip. There is usually enough stretch in an overlap liner to use aftermarket liners. With the popularity of Doughboy pools, other manufacturers are making liners specifically to fit Doughboy. Doughboy's instructions have you completely assemble the pool, stretch the liner in place, then sequentially remove the top rails a few at a time, to "tuck" the liner. Certain Original Doughboy liners have extended wall heights to accomodate installation on pools which have wider top rails.J-Hung liners have an inverted "U" shaped bead. They are attached directly to the top of the wall. and the stabilizer rails go over the top of the bead.Beaded Liners usually require the use of a bead receiver, which hooks over the wall, and the liner snaps into the receiver.CAUTION: While overlap liners have some forgiveness built in, both J-hung and beaded liners must have exactly the right circumference, and wall height, as well as the specified amount of cove (transition from vertical to horizontal) at the bottom of the wall. An improperly installed liner can damage the wall!NOTE: For pools which have excavated deep areas, an "expandable" liner is used. Expandable liners are made by Doughboy, as well as other manufacturers, specifically for this purpose, and are always overlap liners, because they are streched into the excavated area. You can have a beaded or j-hung liner custom made to fit the excavation, but this is costly. It must be measured perfectly, and there are some concerns that if ground water gets under the liner, it can shift the liner, especially in sand bottoms, and pull the wall in. I would recommend sticking with the expandable liner for excavated pools.Finally, I would say that, unless your local dealer is totally unreasonable, I would recommend Doughboy liners, but other liners can be used. Just make sure that the chosen liner is of good quality, and that it fits correctly.contributed by Chet Lewis A-Pro Services www.aprosvc.com
