Inground pool liners should be measured and fitted by a professional

Inground swimming pool liners are made from super strong virgin vinyl, and need to be resistant to pool chemicals and weather. Our liners are designed and manufactured to make your in-ground pool look beautiful while also protecting it so that you can enjoy your swimming oasis for years and years to come. We offer in-ground liners to fit pools of any shape and size, and specialise in customising the liners to meet your individual style and taste.

An inground pool liner should be made from virgin material (not recycled), be a minimum thickness of 0.75mm, and UV rated for Australian conditions. Above ground pool liners are usually slightly thinner at 0.5 mm, and should never be used in an inground pool.

Inground pool liners should always be measured and fitted by a professional. However above ground pool liners can be fitted by the DIY person, see here for an example installation guide.

Measuring the pool for my new liner

All inground pool liners are custom made to fit, so in order to avoid either over-stretching your liner on the walls and corners or excessive wrinkling, your pool has to be properly measured. If your liner is over stretched in any area, it will be thin, making it susceptible to leaks and premature failure. Likewise, too much material will leave wrinkles that are not aesthetically pleasing and will be unpleasant to walk over.  An inground pool liner needs to fit like a glove and be free of wrinkles, so it has to be evenly stretched “a little” while being properly set.

For simple shapes, your installer will be able to measure your pool accurately with a tape measure. For more complex shapes such as pools with steps or step outs that need to be covered they will organise the measuring to be done using a 3D measuring system, that can sample up to 2000 points, ensuring a super accurate measurement.
