STEP 1 – PREPARING THE SITE:
Refer to the "True Size" diagram on the second page to see the dimensions of your swimming pool. Once you
have these measurements and have chosen a site to install your pool, mark or outline the ground where the pool
will be going using spray paint or some other marking agent. Please keep in mind that you will need some extra
room to work. Be sure to account for the space that the side supports extend out on each side of an oval pool.
The strap end channel extends out 37" from the wall of the pool on each of the two straight sides of a Traditional
Buttress Oval. If you have a Buttress-Free Oval Pool, the strap end channel extends only 19" out from the
wall on each side. Refer to the "Actual Size" chart for further clarification.
For example, a 15x30 oval should have the following space in order to install the pool.
Traditional Buttress Oval: Buttress-Free Oval:
Do not locate pool over underground lines,
septic tanks, under electrical lines, near hazardous
structures, or out of local code restrictions. It is
essential that the area selected for your pool has
a level and firm base. Do not assemble your pool
on asphalt, tar or oil base surfaces. Avoid areas
with sharp objects, or ground treated with weed
killer or other chemicals. Also avoid areas where
nut grass, Bermuda grass or bamboo grass grows,
as they can grow through your liner. Grass must
be removed. Do not place components such as
filters, pumps, and heaters in a way that they can
be used as a means of access to pool by young
children. Be sure to follow all local building codes
and obtain all building permits required for your area.
