Gauge is the equivalent of a "mil" which is "thousandths" of an inch.
Hence, a 20-gauge pool liner would be 20-mil which is 20 thousandths of an inch or 0.020" = 0.02 inches. A 30-gauge liner would be 30-mils or 0.03 inches.

∙ 10y agoIn Canada Inground liners are called 30 mil. The standard, much like a 2X4 peice of wood, is cheated to 28 mil but some manufacturers cheat more, 27 mil isn't uncommon and in some cases I've seen 25 mil. In the US most ingorund is sold as 20 mil and is actually 20 with little cheating (from what I know but I'm in Canada)
Abovegound is worse. It's called 20 mil, some label the liners with their warenty (at 25 years) but make it sound like that's the thickness. What most liners are is actually a max of 16 mil. It's been a long time since I've seen one thicker then that. A lot of liners are 14 mil, I've seen imported liners as low as 12 mil sold as 20.
When trying to compare aboveground liners, the easiest was to compare is to ask the weight of the liner.
