This was originally a concrete pool with painted steel
sidewalls and a painted concrete bottom. The owner was tired of the maintenance!
The low maintenance of a 15 year or more vinyl liner will solve that. 
We spent a 1/2 day to measure the pool empty and ordered a custom built
liner. While the liner was being built, we installed a liner track around the
perimeter of the pool, just below the steel coping. We ran grinders over the
entire concrete bottom and steel sidewalls to knock off points and clumps, then
installed 1/8" foam on the steel sidewalls. The liner arrived within 10
working days, shipped common carrier. It took some sweating, but we got it to
fit like it was painted on. The steps were of particular concern, but, as you
can see, they fit perfectly!
This is a wooden walled, sand bottom pool that had leaky underground plumbing
and bad liner. We measured and ordered the liner, pressure checked the lines,
found and repaired the leaks, then re-troweled the bottom and installed the new
liner. The pile of sand in the forefront of the picture is material that still
needed to be put back in the tunnel that was dug to repair he plumbing.
 This
mushroom shaped pool is a fiberglass walled "low-hung" liner design.
The walls were in tough shape, as fiberglass can be difficult to maintain in our
Wisconsin climate. They were checked and faded and needed to be re-caulked. The
bottom was a badly broken up vermiculite bottom that suffered severe damage due
to freezing in an empty pool.
We measured and ordered the liner, then added a top coat of vermiculite
to the damaged bottom. We installed a liner track underneath the
bullnose fiberglass coping and 1/8" wall foam. After installing
the new liner we repaired the pump and started the system.
