1. Make the cove
a. If you are using sand, bank the sand against the wall
to form a cove of 3” to 6” (7.5cm to 15cm) high and 8”
to 12” (20cm to 30cm) wide at ground level. This will
prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will
also protect the liner from any metal edges of the pool
framework. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL, IT MUST BE
DONE.

NOTE: If a smaller cove (less than 3” (7.5cm)) is made
along with using a very tight liner, this will buckle the
wall.
b. Water the sand to compact it and use a trowel to spread
it evenly.

c. Since earth containing chemicals can cause discoloration
or corrosion, it is suggested that you place
polyethylene
plastic sheeting
under the cove around the perimeter
of the wall, so no earth comes in contact with the metal.
Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond the
control of the manufacturer, such damage is not covered
under warranty.

d. If you are using styrofoam cove pieces instead of sand,
insert them in the bottom rail and refer to the installation
instructions that are provided with them.

Important Note:
The cove is an important part of the pool structure. Take your
time to make a complete, full-size cove.
