Step 12... INSTALL WALL
Patio Block Installation (optional but recommend-
ed): Center 12” x 12” x 2” patio blocks under vertical
end caps around ends of pool and mark their posi-
tions with a stick. Move bottom framework from ends
out of your way in sections. Turn patio blocks out
next to their marked positions. Dig soil in the marked
locations away to the depth of the patio block. Patio
blocks must sit in solid, undisturbed earth, and be
flush with level ground, and have no movement when
turned back into place. Use leveling tools and/or
transit to make sure each block is level and that all
blocks are level to each other. NOTE: If you plan to
use sifted earth for pool cove, bring it into pool area
at this time. Reinstall bottom framework. Check again
for levelness, and to see that vertical end caps are
centered on patio blocks. Remove stakes C, D, E
and F. NOTE: If you will be installing a maindrain, re-
Step 13...CONNECT WALL JOINT
From this point you will need approximately 8 to 10
uninterrupted working hours. It is essential that your
pool assembly be completed with top rails and pool
filled with water or damage could occur.
Remove pool wall from carton. Note “Up” arrow on
wall. Keep hands and feet from under wall during
construction. Determine starting point of wall with
respect to the desired skimmer location. The skim-
mer opening will be at the inside end of the wall coil.
Always start wall at center of a vertical end cap.
Uncoil about 6 to 10 feet of wall and insert bottom
edge into groove in bottom rails. Place stabilizer rails
on top edge of pool wall, working around top of pool
as wall is inserted into bottom rails. Telescope small
diameter rail into large diameter rail about 6 inches.
Secure stabilizer rails to wall with duct tape between
vertical end caps.
NOTE: Place enough sifted earth into the pool area
to cover the pressure pads and to form the cove if not
using preformed cove.
Bring the wall ends together in the center of the ver-
tical end cap. If interlocking wall ends do not meet,
adjust all vertical end caps in or out uniformly as
required. Do not make the total adjustment with only
one or two vertical end caps. Fasten wall with screws
supplied in wall carton. Screw head must be on the
inside of pool. When finished, go back and retighten
all screws and nuts. Remove any burrs on all screw
heads. Place protective vinyl strip, included in hard-
ware pack, over screw heads and tape in place.
Step 14...INSTALL END VERTICALS
Refer to your Pool Parts List exploded view when
assembling verticals. Attach verticals to bottom con-
nectors, making sure they are straight. Refer to Fig.
A or B.
Carefully follow the details shown in parts list to
Carefully follow the detail in the exploded view
to attach the verticals to vertical end caps to
pool. Refer to your Pool Parts List exploded
view when assembling verticals. Attach vertical
at bottom first. Push vertical against wall, slip
vertical end cap over wall and attach to verti-
cal. Make sure vertical is straight. Attach other
hardware as required in exploded view. Use all
necessary hardware.
