The beaded liner track should be installed onto the pool wall all
of the way around the pool. These pieces should be as close
together as possible. Leaving spaces between bead tracks can
cause liner problems down the road.
Once all of the beaded liner track is on the wall, you can snap
the liner bead into the beaded liner track at four random points
around the pool. After that is done, and you are satisfied with
how the liner is situated within the pool, you can continue
snapping the remainder of the liner into place around the pool.
Go around the entire pool again making certain that the liner is
securely snapped into the track. This is important to confirm
so that the liner does not pull out while under the pressure of
being filled with water.

There are a few different types of liners on the market today. The three most common liners are the Overlap, the Snap
Bead, and the V-Bead liners (Also referred to as J-Bead liners). Please be sure which one you have and follow the
appropriate step below:
TYPE #1 - OVERLAP LINER
Plastic coping is installed
at this time to hold the
liner in place
Starting at the liner wall seam, hang the liner over the wall making sure that the seam is straight up and down,
perpendicular to the floor. This will assure you that the liner begins going over the wall straight. As you put the liner
over the wall you can secure it by using the plastic coping strips to keep it in place. If you end up with excess material,
continue around the pool, pulling excess liner evenly, and distribute over the wall until the excess is gone.

With a snap bead liner, you will not use the plastic coping strips
that are packed in the parts carton of many pools. You can
discard those pieces (if they are included). Instead, you should
have received a beaded liner track (referred to as a « coping
bead receiver in the below diagram).
