Don’t be Fooled – Gauge vs Mil

Don't be Fooled, Vinyl Liner Thickness is All About the Mil's and a Micrometer

The most frequently asked question about Above Ground Liners: Gauge vs Mil

Don’t be Fooled – Gauge vs Mil is easy to explain! Gauge is a meaningless term and is used hide the actual thickness of an Above Ground Pool Liner. Mil is a technical term, and measures exactly how thick the matarial used in the fabrication of an above ground pool liner. Each Mil equals 1/1000 of an inch. Pool Fits uses 17 Mil material on both the Wall and Floor of our above ground pool liners, it is the thickest and heaviest material available for Above Ground Round & Oval Pool Liners.

Gauge vs Mil - Industry Standard vs Pool Fits

Gauge vs Mil – It’s Important to Read the Fine Print

Our competitors will tell you all you all you need to know, but you’ll have to look for it! Above Ground Liners are widely available and very price sensitive. As a result, manufacturers and e-tailers look for opportunities to reduce cost and offer lower prices. By using the term “Gauge” they are able to use thinner vinyl and even use different thicknesses of vinyl on the Pool Liner Wall and Pool Liner Floor. You can take our word for it, or read for yourself:

30 Gauge Above Ground Liners - Don't be Fooled
Above Ground Liner Thickness - Gauge = Warranty - Not the Material Thickness

That’s right, in one case 30 Gauge Means Approximately 15 mils Thick On The Liner Wall and who knows how thick on the liner floor? In the other case, Gauge Means Warranty and you’re left guessing about the actual thickness of the pool liner.
