    It starts with a six pack and several friends. This is not a one man job. I normally get 4-6 friends who circle the pool, each holding an edge of the liner. We hold the liner high in the air above the pool, then start lowering the liner slowly so it can be centered. Just as the liner nears the ground I add a gallon of water to cause the center point of the liner to become apparent. The helper shift back and forth so this new wet low spot is centered as well as we can, now pull the excesss liner over the edge and secure with about 50 clothes pins or a dozen shop spring clamps. As you add the water it will start to pull more liner inisde the pool so periodically you have to release your clamps a bit to feed more liner in. Once the pool is full, about 6" from the top, pull the liner tightly over the top and fold down along the outside, trim it so about 10-12 inches show evenly around the pool.
