Help would really help. We really miss the pool which got lots of use when the kids were young. Use natural stone to pile on the other edges to secure the liner and for the 'look'. My husband and I are older and not so active, but our "kids" are still not out of the house and would enjoy some water in the summer. I have a hard bottom, metal sided, formerly lined pool which has fallen into disrepair due to college bills.
