Need a replacement bottom rail

I was given an above ground pool that is in excellent shape except for 3 of the curved bottom rails/tracks/rims are rusted badly. The rest of them are in great shape. I have no idea of the brand of pool but the tracks are 1" wide x 3/4" tall x 56" long (measured on the outside of the curve. They look like rims for a Muskin pool but all the ones I see for muskin are 51". Please help if you know anything. I was also wandering could a metal fabrication shop just make some for me?


Thanks,
Greg

A fabricator could make you some tracks but your free pool may get expensive. You say rusted which surprised me since I have only install aluminium tracks. I'd keep calling around and checking to see who carries what, something should fit your needs. Buy your liner from that guy because liners are not reuseable.

Greg,
Sounds like we are in the same boat. I recently got a pool and need bottom track as well. Mine aren't rusted but several got bent when the old owners disassembled it. The length you described is the same as mine. I have an Esther Williams 30' with 19 tracks. Did you have any luck locating the tracks/rails? If so where?
Thanks,
Mike
