Smartline 8 ft Round Swimming Pool Liner Overlap Style - Solid Blue

In this review of the Smartline 8 ft round overlap pool liner, the bottom line is simple: it is a reliable, no-nonsense replacement liner for steel sided above ground pools that need a classic look and durable construction. The liner suits homeowners who want a straightforward installation option and a long-lasting interior surface; the most compelling reason to buy is the heavy-duty 20 gauge virgin vinyl with Lamiclear protection and a 20-year limited warranty, which together promise abrasion, chemical and UV resistance.

Key Features

• Overlap style: Designed to hang over a 48-52 in wall height, this overlap mounting simplifies fitting to standard steel sided above ground pools for an easier replacement.
• 20 gauge heavy duty vinyl: The thicker virgin vinyl offers a sturdy interior surface that stands up to wear better than thinner liners, reducing punctures and stretching over time.
• Lamiclear protection: The acrylic coat and UV print layer resist sun damage and chemical exposure so the liner keeps its color and integrity longer.
• Hand-folded delivery: Folded by hand to avoid permanent creases, the liner is intended to be warmed in the sun before installation for a smoother fit.
• Classic solid blue finish: The simple solid blue color provides a pleasing, timeless pool look that keeps the water appearing cool and inviting.

Who It's For

This liner is best for owners of steel sided above ground pools with a 48-52 in wall height and an 8 ft diameter who prefer the overlap installation method. It fits homeowners replacing a worn liner who want a durable, classic finish and an easier installation that does not require custom bead locks.

It is less suited to pools with nonstandard walls, those who need patterned or custom-printed interiors, or buyers who require a pre-cut bead-on style; for those needs a different fitting or custom liner would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

Measure the pool diameter center wall to wall and the wall height from the ground to under the top rail; this liner is sized for an 8 ft diameter and 48-52 in wall height.

Overlap liners are intended to hang over the top rail and require basic tools and an even top rail; warming the liner in sun for an hour at 70-80 degrees F helps remove folds before fitting.
