I am going to apologize ahead of time on this. I don't have any pictures again. It has kinda all gotten away from me here, and I had a hard time wrapping this project up.
The liner day went like this...
First we swept the pool out. Got all the crap we could get out of it. We did not shop vac it because the pool floor can crack and if you get a place that did not harden well, you could end up sucking it up with the vacuum, and that really would suck.
After it was all cleaned out really good, we started putting the foam on the wall. We used spray adhesive, and we applied it to both the foam and the steel walls. stuff went on pretty easy but it is a two or three person job. We had to cut it short because the width of the roll was taller than the walls. After the walls were done, we also duct taped the seams on the foam.
When the walls were done we did the floors. We did the deep end first, then the shallow. Don't do the tapered/sloped surfaces, because after time it will start to bunch up at the bottom.
So, this all took so long. It was hard and it was seriously hot down in the pool. Especially after getting the foam on the walls.
But after it was done, we did the liner. Read the instructions for your liner. But for ours, we put the box at the deep end of the pool, and opened the box. It is folded in a way that you can just kinda pull it out. we pulled it out completely and let the deep ends fall down into the pool. We started at the stairs. We have the stairs that get the liner over them, so you start there. And just so anyone who might want to put this kind of stair in.... It is a pain in the butt! But they turned out pretty good. the liner has a special tab feature on it, one for each stair. You have to slide this tab in from one end. Don't try to cram it in because it doesn't work and it is highly frustrating and people may cry. But nowhere could I find how you did it.
After the stairs were done, the rest went totally easy, seriously, it just snapped into the liner bead on the coping. After it was all snapped in place, we hooked up a shop vac, and sucked all the air out from behind the liner, and then put sandbags in the corners at the shallow end. WE had to do this because it had to sit over night. The water was coming the following day.
That is pretty much it. If you are not doing water immediately, this is how I would recommend you leave it, until water comes. Then before the water gets there, you are gonna want to get the shop vac turned back on and everything pulled tight again, then you are going to want to get about a foot of water into the deep end. After that, you can start cutting holes for the accessories.
That is it for now. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask, I will do my best to answer them.
