No Diving or Jumping.
Observe all Safety Rules.
sure the patio stones are perfectly level and flush with the ground.
Use the carpenter’s level and a 2-by-4 between patio stones to make
sure the stones are level with each other.
j. Use a carpenter’s level as you install each curved bottom rail to
make sure it is level.
k. Remove all the wooden stakes
from the ground.
2. Spread out Brick Sand
a. Make sure any screw or bolt
heads that are to be covered
with sand or styrofoam are
covered with duct tape first.
b. Make sure all of the trenches
are completely filled with
crushed limestone (or equiva-
lent).
c. Spread a layer of fine brick sand (no pebbles) over the foundation
area, 2" (5 cm) deep. Use a rake to make the brick sand flat and
smooth.
Instead
of brick sand, you can use 1" or 1-1/2" (25 or
38 mm) thick sheets of styrofoam. Cut the sheets to fit. Remove the
Styrofoam until the wall is installed. Reinstall the styrofoam sheets
and join them with duct tape along the whole length of each seam.
Remember to wait until the pool wall has been installed before
installing the Styrofoam.
3. Proceed to Section 3
a. Continue with Section 3 to assemble your pool.
Important:
read the
Additional Installation Information
below before proceeding with
the instructions in Sections 3 and 4.
b. The remaining pages of Section 2 contain information you
must
use
after you finish assembling your pool.
Additional Installation Information for Section 3
When you come to Section 3, Part A, add the following steps:
a. It is
important
that the pool wall be evenly distributed
at both ends
of the pool to ensure that all the top rails fit. As the wall is uncoiled
and placed into the bottom rails it is important to maintain approxi-
mately 2-1/4" (57 mm) gap between the bottom rails or the top rails
may not fit.
b. After the wall is installed, go around the entire pool and make sure
all the gaps between the bottom rails are
equal
in size (the gaps
may each finish slightly smaller or larger than 2-1/4" (57 mm), de-
pending on your pool size). Recheck all of the base plates to make
sure each one is centred between the base rails.

Remember:
Do not fill the pool
with more than 12"
(30 cm) of water
until the vertical
columns and the
top rails are all
attached.

Remember:
Spread brick sand
or sheets of
styrofoam out over
the entire pool
foundation area
inside the base
rails. This provides
a protective sur-
face for the pool
liner to rest on.
