Vinyl Pool Liner - 8 Foot Round Pool - Evening Bay - Overlap

*Note: Actual gallonage may vary slightly depending on the amount of sand used for the base and cove and actual depth of the water.

An Overlap liner is the most practical and cost-effective choice, though essentially any of the three styles can be used. Since a standard stock tank is only 2-3 feet deep and above-ground liners are manufactured for 4-foot or taller walls, you will be trimming off the top part of the liner regardless of which style you buy.

It costs more to manufacture a J-Hook or Beaded liner than it does an Overap. Because these styles often feature more intricate, high-end patterns, they can absolutely be used to give your stock tank pool a more premium look, even though the hook or bead itself will be trimmed off during installation.

Pro-Tip: Regardless of the style you choose, never trim the liner until the tank is 100% full. The water weight needs to fully stretch the vinyl into the stock tank and lock the liner in place. If you trim the excess material too early, the liner may pull off the rim as it settles, potentially ruining the liner.

Yes! An 8ft round pool liner has an 8ft round floor seam. It drops right into an 8ft stock tank perfectly. Because standard pool liners are made for walls that are 4ft or taller and typically a stock tank wall is 2ft-3ft foot tall, you are essentially putting a 4ft tall bag into a 2ft tall bucket. Simply drape the excess over the outside, fill the stock tank up completely with water to allow the vinyl stretch and be set against the wall of the tank. Secure the liner with twisted rope or ratchet straps and then trim off the excess.
