It is difficult trying to find a replacement top rail without knowing the manufacture, because most manufactures top rails are a little different, they dont make a universal replacement like the liner coping strips. My reccomendation would be to contact some of the larger above ground pool manufactures to see if they can help determine if you have one of there pools. If you find the manufacture and the model # of the top rails you can call an above ground pool dealer and they should be able to order them for you. The following 4 manufactures make up a large percentage of the above ground pools on the market today. Vogue Pools - http://www.voguepools.com/en/index.php?r=2 Del Air Industries - http://www.delairgroup.com/delair-index.htm Atlantic Pools - http://atlanticpoolproducts.com/home.htm Cantar Pools - http://www.cantar.com/POOLS_hub.htm Hope this helps!
You loose some stability.
associated leisure products in GA sells Mighty Sun Pools and has extra parts.
I beleive they call them caps
You can buy bottom rails/channels at a mobile home supply store. They are used for the skirting!
If you're talking about the top stabilizer rail, this is where I got mine: http://mwpools.com/Lomart-Pools-Stabilizer-Rail-Large-Top-21-Ft-24Ft-27Ft-Ro-583-1005/ Note: You have to buy half "large" rails and half "small" rails as they overlap.
As its name suggests, it floats (or levitates) above the ground. Additionally, it has no traditional "rails" to make clacking sounds with.
WHen you place 2 rails next to each other on the ground, they should connect
I am about to start the same project, it's worth a shot !
Drain the water. You have messed with the pool structure causing the walls to bow from the weight of the water. You can lightly mark the liner where you want it to be and the drain the water set your rails back and then fill the pool up.
You need new bottom rails to do that, the arcs are all different. It's best to go with a common size like 18' or 21'. Buy new bottom rails and when you unroll the wall overlap it about six inches and cut off the excess. You can then run a couple of rows of nuts and bolts to connect the two ends. I've done this a hundred times and it works just fine.
Known as Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), it is a method of using magnets to raise a train above the ground, and in propulsion. This reduces friction by a great extent and allows for very high speeds.
