Above ground pool liner

May 20, 2004 3 Replies

We had a rough winter here in the Northeast and I have to replace my above ground pool liner. I want to build up the area where the pool wall meets the "floor" of the pool. Some people I have talked to say to use mason's sand, others say to use loam. Any opinions?? Thanks Dave

Loam or foam?

Just my opinion, but I don't see how you can compact loam good enough to hold that cove. I have seen foam strips that you can put there in place of sand.

The original directions for most pools are to use masons sand. Soil may settle unevenly and cause cleaning problems.
