C. CONT. INSTALL THE POOL LINER
4. Fasten the liner in place
(HUNG/J or V-BEAD LINER ONLY)
a. With a V-Bead liner you will not use the plastic
coping strips that are packed in the parts carton of
your pool. You can discard those pieces, if they are
included, as they only apply to pools with overlap
liners.
b. The top of the wall of the liner has what is called a
“V-Bead” welded onto it. Simply open up the bead
with your fingers and hang it directly on top of the
pool wall. When this is done properly, the only
portion on the outside of the pool wall is approxi-
mately 1” of the V-Bead. No printed liner material
is actually going over the top of the wall to the
outside of the wall.

c. Make sure the bead is on evenly around the entire
pool, and that the liner is hanging straight down
from the top of the wall. The liner should not have
creases in it because it is twisting around the pool.
If the liner is twisting, it is because it is not sitting
properly in the pool. Make necessary adjustments
before proceeding.
NOTE: Some liners may fit very tightly, it is better to
install uprights, top plate and rail before going onto
next step. See Section 4.

Important Note:
Do not trim off the excess liner. (If the liner ever needs to
be removed, trimming the liner will make re-installation
very difficult). Instead, roll up any excess liner and tape
it in place near the top of the pool wall.
