For Pole Support Steps: Drill a hole through the PVC support leg and install a rebar stake
horizontally so that it will be set in the footing when the concrete is poured.
Step Installation items that are to be completed later in the install process:
•
When adding Coping: Install coping so that it is flush with the step on both sides. Care in
this step will prevent a lasting blemish that cannot be eliminated once the deck
treatments are complete.
•
When Backfilling: Backfill the step unit, same as the pool walls, taking extra care to
eliminate voids under the steps by compacting the backfill.
•
When Pouring Concrete: Be sure to pour concrete behind the step as well. To keep the
step straight when pouring the concrete footing, place a 2 X 4 or a 2 X 6 across the lower
front length of the step section (inside the pool) securing it with stakes. If using
cantilever foam forms, see page 30.
Steps and swim outs are installed in the same manner.
STEEL OR POLYMER WALL PANEL ASSEMBLY
Begin at any corner, (or arc for radius pools). Begin connecting the panels and braces using the
non-corrosive nuts and bolts provide; use only the inside bolt holes. Where two sections are
joined, attach the adjustable A- brace "L Bracket" to the first or second hole of the panel
flanges.
Do not put the brace bracket/member between the wall panels
.
IMPORTANT!
Do not put the brace bracket/member between the wall panels!
Do not over tighten the screws!
Do not use wrenches; hand tighten in this step.
TIP
Steel and polymer wall panels are assembled in virtually the same manner. The major
difference is that polymer panels require every bolt hole filled whereas steel panels have
additional bolt holes (located further away from the wall panel) for steps. These
“step bolt
holes”
do not
need filled if you’re not using that wall panel for a step connection.
