Measuring For A Pool LIner

A Total WIdth: To measure your total width, pull a tape measure across your pools width. Measure from liner bead to liner bead.
B Total Length: To measure your total length, pull a tape measure across your pools length. Measure from liner bead to liner bead.
E Shallow Length: Measure from the front of your pool, to the breakover point.
G Side Slope: In many cases, G & I will be the same measurement. First get your Hopper Width (H). Subtract your Hopper WIdth (H) from your Overall Width (A), then divide that number by 2 to get G & I. Example: 16(A) - 8(H) = 8 then 8 / 2 = 4(G/I)
H Hopper Width: Drain your pool to measure your hopper width.
I Side Slope: In many cases, G & I will be the same measurement. First get your Hopper Width (H). Subtract your Hopper WIdth (H) from your Overall Width (A), then divide that number by 2 to get G & I. Example: 16(A) - 8(H) = 8 then 8 / 2 = 4(G/I)
J Shallow Depth: In many cases the shallow depth will be 42" but to be sure, measure from the shallow floor to the top of the pool (water line).
K Total Depth: Measure from the bottom of the hopper to the top of the pool (water line).
L Back Slope: Use the pole method to measure your back slope.
M Hopper Length: Drain your pool to measure your hopper length.
N Slope: When measuring a slope, measure in a horizontal line. Do not lay your tape measure on the slope, this will give you a measurement that is too long.
