I have an above ground vinyl pool, 12" x 30. I stored the liner in my
basement over the winter. Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to me, my
cats
chewed on it all winter long, and the liner now has hundreds of tooth
holes
in it. A replacement liner costs more then the pool itself did, and I
don't
have the money for a new pool. I also have two very dissapointed
little
girls. I'm not unwilling to try to patch it. Does anyone know where I
could
get a large sheet of the right kind of vinyl to patch a pool with a
vinyl
liner? And am I correct that pvc glue can be used? I got the pvc glue
idea
from the manufactures website, they say to use PVC or silicon based
glue
to
patch it.

How large is large? This site carries 18" x 24" patches. $12US (plus
S&H?) for patch and glue

or

Find a whole bunch of little Dutch boys, fingers at the ready, and
have them plug each hole. Yeah, you'll have to feed them and all that,
but your little girls will be so proud of daddy for fixing their pool.

The holes are pinholes - kitten tooth size, quite small. They chewed in
areas of about 6" across, so I would probably need 20-30 6" patches.
Though
I kinda like the Dutch Boy solution :-) - Hide quoted text -

20 - 30 6" patches is 20 - 30 possible chances for error - more than
likely resulting in at least 1 error accomplished.

Even 1 out of 30 patch failures is going to be a problem and with kids
jumping in and out of the pool, I can imagine many more failures.

Dump it - buy a new one. It may be a challenge you wish to undertake
from an emotional standpoint, but is it really worth the time and
energy, knowing that you probably can't expect all 30 patches to hold
water?


Never had to patch a pool, Eh?

It's not that hard if you have the time.
