The top shelving which surrounds the
pool comes with eight inner planks and
eight outer planks (note: Westminster,
Regent and Chelsea have joined sections
for the long walls). The joins on the long
wall should finish on the centre of a top
shelving bracket or vertical support. When
a section of top shelving joins another,
stainless steel biscuits are slotted into a
machined groove at the end of each plank
these must be used at every join whether
it is a straight or mitred join.
Take your time lining up the top shelving
before drilling any holes or fixing any
screws. This can be the longest part of
the installation, as it is to be done as
neatly as possible for best results. The
inner planks are designed to overhang the
liner-lock by approximately 20mm. There
should also be a small gap between the
inner and outer planks of approximately
4mm.
Once you are satisfied with the top
shelving placed around the pool, you
can mark out screw positions, where the
top shelving rests on shelving brackets,
in the eight corners of the pool and any
vertical supports. The profile of our top
shelving has been specially designed,
so any fixings go through the flat areas
of the timber. You must make sure that
when you mark out screw positions the
screws will not come into contact with the
liner or Liner-lock. Any warranty claim for
a mechanically damaged liner will not be
covered.
