How hard will it be to put a new layer of wood on a wood-walled vinyl-lined inground pool when you replace the liner?
Just completed similar rebuild 3 years ago. Hired the original builder and after watching realized I could do this myself. The support behind the pool walls should be similar to that of interior walls in your home. There should be a stud (2x4) spaced evenly every 16". Remove the old walls without damaging the stud support behind them. Inspect the studs, a-frame braces if present, or steel frame if present, for rust, corrosion, insect damage, or wood rot. If the wall is rotted, then the studs supporting that wall may need to be replaced. Place new wood, 1/2' or 5/8' pressure treated, by screwing or nailing into the studs. Scatter the seams so that 4 corners of the new wall material nerver come together. Install the the liner and fill.
