So, unless you have a very experienced installer and the liner must get done on a particular day and it’s very sunny, then wait until the highs are above 70☏. I probably wouldn’t do it anymore as it’s much harder to get it wrinkle-free and there’s a higher margin for error. In truth, I was younger when I installed liners in cold temperatures. I have installed liners in the high 50°s but it was very sunny (not a cloud in the sky) out, so the liner heated up nicely by the direct sunlight. Where I am in Central Florida, we don’t get many winter days with highs below 70☏, so it’s not usually an issue. I have installed liners colder than this, but don’t recommend it. HOW WARM DOES IT HAVE TO BE TO PROPERLY SET A POOL LINER?Ī good safe temperature starts at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and above. When it’s too cold out, the liner may not stretch enough to get it onto the walls of the pool. And even when you get one unfolded and in position, the wrinkles from the folds will not pull out smooth when it’s too cold.Īlso, vinyl liners are made to stretch some. When cold, vinyl liners get stiff and don’t like to unfold. METAL-WALLED ABOVE GROUND POOLS HAVE VINYL LINERS THAT COME FOLDED IN A BOX
#How to set up above ground pool for season install
You could do the groundwork, set and level the bottom track, roll out the wall and install the uprights and top rails in any temperature of weather you like. The reason – because you cannot properly set the liner when it’s too cold. But you still can’t install an above-ground when it’s cold out.
In southern areas of the US, the ground doesn’t freeze, so that’s not an issue. Swimming pools have to be level, so being able to work the earth to make a flat surface is absolutely necessary. If you live in a northern region where the ground freezes, then you are probably already aware that the frozen earth cannot be moved easily, so most earth-related construction has to wait until the ground thaws. And that is if the ground is frozen and if the outside temperature is below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. There are two reasons why an above-ground cannot be installed due to seasonal weather. WHEN YOU CANNOT INSTALL AN ABOVE GROUND POOL This, depending on where you live, will be between October and February when daytime temperatures can have highs above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The best time to DIY or have an above-ground swimming pool installed is during the off-season and when it’s not too cold.
