STEP 2: Bottom wall channel and bottom plate
2.1: Place the bottom wall channels and bottom plates in a circle.
NOTE: During installation, the curves and length of the bottom wall channels will help to position the bottom
plates.
2.2 : Install the round bottom wall channel into the
bottom plate. Do not insert the bottom wall channels too
deep into the bottom plate, at this time. Leave a ¼” to ½”
between the bottom wall channel and the bottom plate.
2.3: At this stage, it is important to verify that the circle is
round. Use a rope with the center rod as in step 1.2.2.
2.4: Verify the height of each bottom plate with an optical
level. They have to be at the same height. Adjust height if
necessary.
2.5: Once the verification is done, plant a steel rod or a large
nail on the outside edge of the bottom wall channel. Some
bottom wall channels carry a hole to receive a metal rod or a
nail.
NOTE: If you install a geotextile (felt) liner protection for the bottom, you need to apply sand or crushed
stone underneath the geotextile (felt). Do not put crushed stone directly under the liner.
2.6: Before installing the last bottom wall channel, enter
enough sand to fill the bottom of the pool and to build a cove.
Put the sand in the middle of the pool area.
