Protection For Above Ground Pool..Hard Plastic Edging Rolls..by Susan
Where do your purchase the hard plastic edging rolls so it could butt right up to the wall/track but still allow water to drain. And how expensive is this product? I am putting up a new above ground pool and could the old liner be cut and used as a edging? Thanks for the question Susan You can go to Lowes or Home Depot to get a heavy duty black plastic cover to go under the rocks. There are mesh products as well, but this is mostly for weed and grass control. I used the heavy plastic when I had to do maintenance work/above ground pool installation around the pools in Arizona. I've never actually re-used a vinyl liner for anything, but it might save a little money if you could re-use yours and not have to buy any plastic. I don't see any reason why you couldn't, but you may want to check with the vinyl manufacturer about it first. As for the hard plastic edging rolls, you can either get them from a local pool store or Lowes/Home Depot, or a similar place. I believe they come in rolls up to 32' or so and the price is about $50. I wrote this on a similar question on this page: Landscaping Around An above Ground Swimming Pool To Protect The Wall (This is my understanding: For Beaded Liners, create a packed triangular cove which is 4" high and 4" wide against the pool wall. For Overlap Liners, create a packed triangular cove which is 6" high and 6" wide against the pool wall. Lightly sweep over entire cove to remove any imperfections. I would bring the contractor back, have him read the booklet, then prove to you that what he did matches what it says in the booklet. If it's not the same, ask him why not? Why is his way better than the manufacturer's requests?) End... You may want to check this page out as well: Pool Landscaping Ideas After it's finished I'd love to see pics. Hope this helps and have a great swimming season Robert Comment: April 5,2011 Robert, Thank you for your quick response. I appreciate your help. This will be of help to share with others that I know who have pools. This information was very helpful! I will pass your website on to my brother-in-law who has just bought a pool business in Sanford, NC. May God richly bless you and your business. Susan Mills |
