    Pool Liner Shrinkage
    I have a Doughboy 32X16 above ground pool. The water level over the winter got low due to a leaking hose and the liner has came loose from the side in two spots about 2 feet each. The liner will no longer overlap the top of the pool wall due to shrinkage.

    Is there any way to stretch the liner so it will reach back over the top again? If so will it shrink again with time? If not is there any way to just attach the liner to the side, such as an adhesive or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Depends on the age of the liner but usually there is no repair for what you describe. The liner shrank but is also more brittle than once was. Heating the liner with a heat gun will make it more stetchy but I have never had much success with doing this. No being able to see the pool is a disadvantage but a liner like this was likely not properly install to begin with.
