Goose kiddie pool repair?

[Yetti]

just a tip for patching pools. if you have rips or cracks pop a round hole at the end of the crack to prevent it from getting bigger. a paper punch size is perfect. secondly I use silicone & plastic coffee can lids. if you cut the ring off that clings to the can its the perfect patch for hard plastic pools. clean the area very well and then set up to dry. after its dry install the patch on the outside of the pool where the bird can't pick at it. use a pile of bricks or a large block of wood to hold patch for 24-48 hours till cured.
one tip for thick plastic is to use a hot punch or screw driver. if you poke through the plastic it will make a ridge and reenforce the end of the crack when you make the hole to stop it.

I think I'd buy a new pool. We patched our once with duct tape -- the geese thought it was great and promptly played with it so much that it got torn away and we had a leak again. Our geese spend most of their time nibbling all over the pool, and I think they'd eventually work off most patches.

I have repaired the same with a hot glue gun and smeared it over the tear. It was on a plastic bird bath (not a kiddie pool) which has held up for about 5 years now. However, a sure bet way to repair vinyl is get a vinyl repair patch kit at a swimming pool supply place. We had 2 leaks in the corner of our vinyl liner of our inground pool and one was below the water line. We thought we were going to have to get a new vinyl liner and my husband bought one of the vinyl repair kits and put two patches on each leak and they are doing fine. We got a lot of rain and the water level went up over the patches and they are holding up just great. I don't think the kit was a lot of money - you might be able to find it at Walmart if you don't have a swimming pool place nearby where they sell supplies, chlorine etc. We've had our vinyl liner for 20 years in our pool although its only guaranteed for l0 so we thought it was probably time to replace it, but with the economy the way it is, if you don't have to spend big money why do it? Best of luck!

Thanks for this great info sir...i have been looking from a long time for such a thing that can fix my pool cracks in a cheaper way . I tried to hire some Pool Repair Service guys but they charged me tons of cash. I really appreciate these cheaper fixes.

You can fix your kiddie pool with just a little snippet off the edge of your pool and an empty hot glue gun! Check out the details in the link.

You cannot use a rubbe

You probably can repair it with a little rubber patch like the kind made to seal bicycle inner tubes and some "Seals All" adhesive. Just be sure its bone dry when you put on the Seals All, because any moisture will make it refuse to stick. It will then have to dry about 24 hours

I started to fill a new plastic kiddie pool bought a couple of months ago, and saw it leaking water from an inch and a half cut/slice about two inches from the bottom. Any idea on whether this can be repaired at all, and in such a way that the geese will leave it alone? Since they are seasonal items, I may not be able to replace the darn thing!

Whatever you do don’t listen to any comments that has to do with chemicals the thing to do when you’ve got a hole or a crack to get you some aquarium glue it’s made for water animals and won’t harm them I wouldn’t put any other chemicals or anything like that in there like a bike repair kit you get cement put on there just patch that’s a chemical don’t use that if you love your Animals
