How To Install A Pool Cover

 
People who want to install an above ground pool for the first time are always concerned about how to install a base underneath a pool liner so that it is comfortable and can add years of life to the liner.

A Pool cove becomes part of your pool to seal the space between the wall and the liner and to prevent liner stain.

 
 
 
Installation Instructions
 
Following are 3 easy steps to install a pool cove:

Step-1: Inside your above ground pool entire bottom, Install a fine pool sand approximately 3" thick bed.

Step-2: After sand base is done, now lay your pre-cut liner pad on top of sand.
