DIAMOND SERIES OVAL POOL | USER MANUAL

STEP 5
Once the wall is assembled, make additional checks to make sure the pool round
sections are perfectly round. To do this, check the radius of the pool from the
centers to the inside of the rail on all the rails so that each dimension are identical.
If this is not the case, adjust the bottom plates by pushing them inside or outside
accordingly, to get a perfectly round pool.
STEP 3
When this is done, use a water hose to soak the soil, then compact with a mechanical
compactor.
STEP 2
Once the plastic sheet in place, from the sand/stone dust previously placed inside
the pool start raking a 1.5’’ to 2’’ thick layer evently spreaded on all the inside surface
of the pool. This will prevent the tie strap screws to protrude through and damage
the liner.
STEP 4
If you are using a prefabricated cove, follow the instruction in the manual provided
by the manufacturer.
STEP 5
Once the layer of sand is even across, using sand or soil create a triangular shape
ledge along the bottom of the wall of 3’’ to 6’’ (7.5 cm to 15 cm) x 8’’ to 12’’ (20 cm to
30 cm) long. When done use water hose to dampen the cove and recompact.
Sandbed and coving the inside pool.
THE SAND BED
STEP 1
We recommend putting a 12’’ wide plastic sheet from 8’’ from the ground taped
inside the wall running down to the
fl
oor to prevent contaminants that may contain
sand and/or soil from a
ff
ecting the metal wall.
The pool must be
fl
at on the entire perimeter. A swim-
ming pool that is not entirely leveled can be dangerous
and can collapse.
