    Pool liners are the real showstoppers in every vinyl liner pool. Not only do they add to the beauty and attract everyone's gaze, but they also serve as a container for thousands of gallons of pool water.

    Beyond their practical purpose, a vinyl pool liner can drastically change the entire appearance and atmosphere of your pool. Pick a color or pattern that suits your individual style and your swimming pool can become the centerpiece of your ultimate backyard oasis. Replacing your pool liner opens up even more possibilities to express yourself through design.

    Is the standard package enough?

    In most cases our standard package will be more than enough to repair and renovate vinyl liner pools. However, vinyl liner pools that are in particularly bad shape may require more than 1 bag of Vermiculite to repair the bottom. Penguin Pools can handle and upgrade items within your pool (lights, plumbing, clogged filters) or any other swimming pool services in addition to the liner replacement.
