Good Luck. It's a huge pool liner replacement to do on your own. Let me know how you do? Nice to hear folks are trying and succeeding.

I had my liner replaced in 2018 ..this past winter my liner got tore up from ice I believe. Watching some liner install videos I noticed padding etc. place under the liner ...my liner did not have this ... It was just dirt and then the liner ..is this correct ?! I tried patching the holes but still have a slow leak .. have a new store install a new liner ..should I ask about a layer of padding under the liner ?

There should be mason sand or stone dust underneath liner and not dirt. A floor pad is added benefit but not from winter ice damage. There is no topping winter when it decides to do it's thing. So dirt no Mason sand yes.
