1. Install the uprights

NOTE:  Depending on your pool model you may have  

 

steel or resin bottom plates.

a.  The wall joint is hidden behind the upright on most 

pools. This assures that the skimmer and skimmer 
return holes are not obstructed.

b.  Insert an upright into the bottom plate. Squeeze 

each side of the upright at the bottom into the 
bottom plate. Push firmly on the upright while 
ensuring that it is completely inserted into the 
bottom plate.

column is straight up and down.

Important Note:

Ensure to leave a gap between the two bottom rails.
