How Do I Measure My Above Ground Pool for a Liner
How to measure your above ground pool is something we get asked about a lot here at LinerWorld. Accurately measuring your pool is crucial for picking a liner that fits properly and works in your pool, so it's an important first step. We'll walk through the process step-by-step.
What you need:
- A flexible tape measure to measure the pool.
- A friend or family member — an extra set of hands always makes it easier!
- Paper and a writing utensil to record your pool dimensions
How to measure your pool
- Draw a diagram of your above ground swimming pool similar to the ones below. This will aid in recording the dimensions.
- Next, use the tape measure to measure from inside wall to inside wall as pictured in the diagram below. We recommend doing this twice — once at the top of the wall and once at the bottom — to make sure it's accurate.
- Record the dimensions on your diagram and use them to find the right size liner.
- If you have a differently shaped pool or more complex measurements, please feel free to contact the pool experts at LinerWorld. We’re always ready to help.
Note: Multiple factors, such as bowed walls and other irregularities, can impact your pool dimensions. Always re-measure rather than relying on previous notes or old liner sizes.
Once you've measured your pool, you're ready to shop for a new pool liner.
