Once the cradles have been assembled, place them in the trenches and block them in position using wet
compacted sand if necessary. During this operation, check that the cradles are level, straight, aligned and
parallel. Fill the trenches using wet compacted sand.
Important! Take care to respect the correct excavation depth for the cradles corresponding to your pool.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADVICE:
• Before beginning assembly, identify the various slat types with reference to the exploded view at the
end of this document.
• Establish the final orientation of your pool, the skimmer should be oriented facing into prevailing
winds. The skimmer should be mounted on a side that starts with a type A slat.
• While assembling the walls, make sure that each slat is fully engaged before starting on the next.
• You may need to use a hammer and a clamp to remedy any slight warping of the slats. Do not strike
the wood directly, use the protective brace (provided).
• During assembly, check regularly that the walls are level and the 4 diagonals are equal in length.
• To avoid the risk or injury or damage to the liner, take care to eliminate any splinters during and after
assembly.
• Please refer to the various illustrations provided in this document.
• If you intend to fit your pool with a counter swim treadmill, you will need to incorporate the 2 slats
specially prepared to mount this option.
