3. Make sure the Pool Wall is Round
a. Using a tape measure, measure
across the circle at each base plate.
The pool wall must be round within
1" (25 mm) (all of the measurements
must be within 1" (25 mm) of each
other). Adjust the circle by nudging
the base plates in or out with your
foot.
b. Adjusting the pool to the proper
shape may cause the bottom rails and
base plates to slip out of alignment a
little. Recheck all of the base plates to make sure each one is
centred where the base rails meet
4. Make a 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.
.
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 polyethyl-
ene 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 instal-
lation instructions that are provided
with them.

Caution:
The pool
must
be level
across the perimeter. A
pool that is not level is
dangerous and may col-
lapse.
Remember:
The cove is an important
part of the pool structure.
Take your time to make a
complete, full-size cove.
