Liner Install

[mohawk]

I heard back from my local pool store and my cost to have them install the new liner is 700.00 (the broken liner is free due to defect). The installer would give my a 100.00 break from his regular charge of 800.00. He also said that my pool is out of plumb in a few places(due to moles)and if I had him fix that he would teardown, fix, install liner for only 2100.00. He also said being out of plumb was a 50/50 if it needed to be done. I know last summer it was 1 1/2-2" lower on the one end-I'm not sure if it has sunken down more this year.
If we do this ourselves, could I just disassemble a section of the pool instead of the whole thing? I have a 30' round Ester Williams pool. Maybe being out of level that much wouldn't be a problem?
How difficult would a beaded liner be to put in?
I'm a novice here and would appreciate ANY advice. I have looked on the this site, but not much info on beaded liners. Thanks for your help

Denise, depending on how 'handy' you are - you could probably do this yourself

With a beaded liner it's important to have the floor be a ~little below what they cut the liner to - the liner needs to stretch into place. If you have too much floor, the liner will wrinkle - alternatively, if the floor (or wall cove) is to deep, there will be undue stress on the liner and it will fail prematurely

I assume you have a sand bottom which will need a little retroweling before the new liner is dropped. If you want any tips and tricks for the troweling and think you can retrowel it yourself, let me know - I've done this a few dozen times

A strong shop-vac or vac/ blower will be needed to set the new liner - I hope you have access to one.

What are the shape and dimensions of the pool?

I, and the others here, will be here to help, should you need it

Thanks Waste for answering. My pool is a 30' round, and we do have a shop vac. The bottom is sand and will need retroweling. I noticed today that the moles haven't wasted any time and have started tunneling under the pool and heaving up the sand. I know their are people who care about animals-and I do too, but when it comes to mole, there's no love lost here. Those animals have cost me hundreds of dollars with their destructive ways and they're nearly unstoppable. I'm wondering if I should check the level from one side to the other to make sure it's not to far out of plumb? Is a laser level easy to use and rentable?
