APPENDIX
APPENDIX A: POLYMER PANELS
For freeform pools using radius polymer panels flex design, panels will
be shipped
flat
and arrive appearing straight as shown here.
Pre-notched splines will be shipped with your order. These are what
give your wall panels their curved shapes.
Each panel will require two splines. Each
spline piece will be the same length of its
corresponding wall panel. For example, a
6’ radius panel will require a 6’ radius
spline. Also, each spline will match its
panels length of 1’, 2’, or 3’.
→
To attach the splines, lay the panel on a flat stable
surface. Each spline will be predrilled and notched
for the required radius. The spline should be installed
with “This side up” toward the top of the panel.
Attach spline to the rib of the panel one notch at a
time until all holes are filled with screws. Repeat this
step for the 2nd spline to complete required radius.
In some pool configurations, a 3 3/8” flex radius panel can be used to create a true 4’
radius and/or reverse radius panel.
Howeve
r, most 4’ radius panels will come pr
e-molded.
