Doughboy installation manual

One pool store told me to install an original non-expandable Doughboy liner on a hot and sunny day and it would stretch to conform to the bowl. That seems like overkill. But I don't want to spend the money on a regular liner and have the seams fail because I tried to stretch it too much either.

I am also worried about wrinkles since I wouldn't be stretching the 72" liner near as much as it can be stretched. My second issue is installing the liner once I figure out what to get. You showed some pictures on pool solutions with instructions on installing just such an expandable liner.

Is this true? If so, once the liner is in and the water mostly full, do you then work your way around the pool section by section placing the liner under the top rails and installing the coping? I understand your directions as your wrote them on pool solutions, just not sure how to go about getting the liner under the top rails. I am thinking I really want to go with an original Doughboy liner regardless after reading your comments about the longevity of aftermarket liners. The one in there has been at least ten years And I suspect more like 12 or 13 years and has held up well.

No holes, no patches, no problems ever. The reason it needs to be replaced is some of the sand has settled out from around the patios blocks and I can feel the square edges of the blocks through the liner. It's only a matter of time before one pokes through. Plus I want to sink the pool and build a really cool deck around it. In considering all of this, I thought about just replacing the pool with a new one. But I have been happy with the Doughboy and especially the availability of parts and such for the skimmer and filters, so I think I will try to stick with them.

Thank you for your willingness to lend advice to a stranger from the 'net. You will have no problem stretching it in. The liners are made for 48 or 52 inch walls so you already have plenty of extra to work with. Even with a 52 inch wall I could still stretch the liner an extra 6 inches easily.
