New Liner...Do it yourself job?

[matt4x4]

That time frame sounds about right, and yes, you can always make use of many hands, the people you line up to help don't need knowledge, just to be able to hold something in place for some time.
My neighbour and i utilized his kids as those extra hands.

We were quoted about$800 to have it done. That includes the thickest liner available.

I am assuming ours is the overlap style since there is extra hanging below the railing all the way around the pool.

Are there any sites with instructions on how to do this?

[dontremember]

We bought a used Doughboy pool on eBay about 5 years ago ($1 - yep one dollar!!) and installed it ourselves. I *think* the new liner came with instructions, or we picked up a pool installation guide from a local pool shop. Whichever it was, the process we followed is pretty much described word-for-word here:

We were a bit hasty and ended up with some wrinkles in the bottom, but that didn't bother us too much. We've had three holes in 5 years - one above the water line from not adjusting the liner properly during the initial fill, one where the floor stretched down where the ground collapsed into a crawdad hole, and lastly when a blade of grass grew up through the liner...
