Can you repair an above ground pool liner?
You can patch a pool liner hole or tear above or below water. A dry patch might be an option if the water receded below the tear, for example, or if your pool has already been drained for other repairs or maintenance work. Warning: we strongly advise against draining your pool unless absolutely necessary.
Can You reinstall an above ground pool liner?
The vinyl material used in above-ground swimming pool liners is tough, but over time, it can stretch or even tear. Unless the liner has more holes or other damage than you can repair, you can reinstall a misshapen pool liner to get more wear out of it. Whether or not you have to drain the pool entirely depends on the problem with the liner.

How do you re-track a vinyl pool liner?
Re-track the vinyl. Starting on one end, firmly twist the top edge horizontally and push it into the metal track. The top underside of the vinyl has a V shaped groove which should slip into a similar V groove in the top metal track. You should feel the edge of vinyl slip into the groove, which is supposed to keep it in place.

How does a above ground pool liner attach to the wall?
They attach to the pool kit wall with coping strips that hold the liner to the pool wall. A coping strip is a piece of plastic that acts like a wide paper clip that runs along the top of your above ground pool kit wall. Since it “overlaps” the swimming pool wall from the inside, the pool coping strip ensures that the liner is held firmly in place.

Where to put a beaded liner in a pool?
I should mention that you should be kneeling on the pool deck, overhanging the edge of the pool – not in the pool. For above ground pools, you may have to stand on a stool, so you can lean far enough over the top rail, to have a clear view of the track.
