The cove is a wedge of sand or pre formed foam that keeps the liner from slipping under the pool wall and also provides a protective layer between the liner and the metal frame of the pool.

A pool liner can be made out of materials other than vinyl such as fiberglass but those are usually constructed for inground commercial pools that get a lot of heavy use.

There should be no air space between the vinyl pool liner and the base. Most pools especially above ground pools have vinyl liners. At this point the old liner is out and you have the new liner laid out and centered in the new pool. Installing a new liner is more expensive than other types of repairs but it will bring life to your pool and last for 10 years.
