Pool Liner Cost by Type Guide
The liner layer prints by attachment and thickness: overlap at the low end and beaded at the top on both frames, with standard and thicker-mil lines printed apart on the frame that reports them.

The attachment layer, priced apart on both frames
| Attachment line, as published | Frame A band | Frame B materials band |
|---|---|---|
| Overlap liner | $200-$600 | $150-$600 |
| Unibead / uni-bead liner | $400-$900 | $200-$700 |
| Beaded liner | $500-$1,000 | $300-$900 |
Every figure here is a published line inside its own frame, read apart and never averaged into a single type band. Frame A prices each attachment type as a liner line inside its liner-and-labor reading; Frame B prices the same three names as liner material lines inside its installed-total reading. The project whole prices on the pool liner hub; the pool-type layer on the inground vs. above-ground guide.
The overlap lines, as published
| Overlap line | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Overlap liner | Frame A | $200-$600 |
| Overlap liner materials | Frame B | $150-$600 |
The overlap name prints the lowest band on both frames: the lowest liner line in Frame A and the lowest material line in Frame B. The two bands print side by side and stay apart, one a liner line and one a materials line, each named by frame on every reading.
The unibead lines, as published
| Unibead line | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Uni-bead liner | Frame A | $400-$900 |
| Unibead liner materials | Frame B | $200-$700 |
The unibead name prints in the middle of the layer on both frames, spelled uni-bead in Frame A and unibead in Frame B, each spelling kept as its frame prints it. Its Frame A band overlaps the beaded band beside it; its Frame B materials band sits between the overlap and beaded materials lines. No merged middle band is claimed.
The beaded lines, as published
| Beaded line | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Beaded liner | Frame A | $500-$1,000 |
| Beaded liner materials | Frame B | $300-$900 |
The beaded name prints the highest band on both frames: the only four-figure top end among the Frame A type lines, and the highest materials top end in Frame B. Read beside the pool-type lines, the beaded name is the attachment line most often printed against in-ground pools, and the overlap and unibead names against above-ground pools, each as the frames publish them.
The thickness lines, as published
| Thickness line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Standard liner, 20 mil | Frame A | the standard line |
| Thicker-mil liner, over standard | Frame A | $300-$500 more |
| Thickness band | Frame B | no separate band |
Frame A prints the standard liner at 20 mil and the thicker-mil lines at $300 to $500 over the standard line, printed here as reported cost-line attributes only. Frame B prints no separate thickness band in the grounded data; that absence prints as published, and no thickness figure is carried across frames.
- Attachment name beside every band
- Frame named on every line: liner line or materials line
- Overlap, unibead, and beaded lines shown apart, never merged
- Thickness lines read as cost lines only
Frequently asked questions
What is the lowest-priced pool liner type, as published?
Overlap prints the lowest band on both frames: $200 to $600 as a Frame A liner line and $150 to $600 as a Frame B materials line. The two bands print apart, each inside its own frame.
What is the highest-priced pool liner type, as published?
Beaded prints the highest band on both frames: $500 to $1,000 as a Frame A liner line and $300 to $900 as a Frame B materials line. It is the only Frame A type line with a four-figure top end.
What does a unibead liner print at, as published?
Frame A prints the uni-bead liner at $400 to $900. Frame B prints unibead liner materials at $200 to $700. Each frame keeps its own spelling and its own band, and the lines never merge.
What do thicker liners print at, as published?
Frame A prints the standard liner at 20 mil and thicker-mil liners at $300 to $500 over the standard line. Frame B prints no separate thickness band in the grounded data.
Why do the two frames print different bands for the same liner type?
The frames price different layers of the same project. Frame A prices the liner as a line inside a liner-and-labor reading; Frame B prices liner materials as a line inside an installed-total reading. The bands print side by side and never blend.
