I think the seems are straight. I must just be an illusion but I'll double check when I get home. If I assume the wall is actually pulled in 1" or so, what is the best way to repair the wall now? Thanks, Kevin

I finally got some pictures this afternoon. I have attached two pictures. One picture shows how tight the liner is in the corners. The bottom edges are also pretty far away from the corners also. The second picture shows how the coping is pulling away from the concrete. After more examination and measuring today I think the pool wall is actually pulled in about 1". If that is the case, what do I need to do in order to fix it? Is it possible this happened because the liner was made too small? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks, I'll take some more pictures when I get home. Kevin

Jeff, The sides are 28mil and the bottom is 20mil. The installer also told me that he ordered the liner with a 4" cove in the shallow end, however, my pool doesn't have a cove. Kevin

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is with the coping. The fasteners are all hidden by the concrete but it looks like it is properly fastened to the top of the pool wall. The person installing the liner is trying to tell me that the small lip on the top of the coping is supposed to be held in place by the concrete. It doesn't seem possible to me that with a lip that small that the concrete can hold the coping at all. He is trying to blame the problem on the concrete guy from 11 years ago. Kevin

Thanks for the help. That is what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if I was being reasonable. Kevin

They used a blower that looks kind of like the blowers they have for drying floors instead of a vacuum cleaner. I don't think that is the problem though. Does it make sense that the liner could pull down on the coping hard enough to twist it? I checked today and I'm pretty sure the wall hasn't moved at all but the coping is twisting away from the concrete. How hard should the liner be pulling down? It just seem like too much. Also, I measured the distance the liners is away from the corners and it is 4.5" - 5.5" on the 45° corners. Does this seem normal? Thanks, Kevin

I am having a new liner installed in my pool. The job is partially done with approximately 8" or water in the shallow end, it appears to me that the liner is actually too small. The installer said he had the liner made with a 4" cove, however my pool never had a cove in the bottom. The pool is 19x35 grecian and the liner is not even close to touching the wall in the corners and I can't imagine water pressure stretching the liner that much. I would guess that there is 5-7" behind the liner in the corners right now. Will the water pressure acutally push the liner into the corners? There is also 2-3" of space behind the liner in the shallow section which might be due to having the cove in the liner but I'm not sure if that is the entire problem. My biggest concern is that the coping is actually being pulled away from the concrete on one side of the pool. It looks to me like there is too much pressure from the liner pulling the coping. The coping is still attached to the top of the pool wall. I can't tell if the coping is just twisting or if the pool wall has actually pulled in some. The liner installer is trying to blame the problem on the concrete not being poured correctly. I tried to pull the liner out of the bead track but it is just too tight to lift it up at all in order to get the bead out. I think I'll have to pump some water out to relieve enough pressure. Any thoughts on what is going on? Thanks, Kevin
