Once the wall is closed and
screws and nuts are tightened
securely, cover the screw heads
on the inside of the pool with a
cloth tape all the way from top to
bottom of wall. If the filter inlet and
outlet are not used, tape over the
prescored areas on the inside of
the pool wall.
Cloth tape or duct tape is
available through your local pool
dealer or hardware store.

Pre-assemble a Cage Nut into the Buttress Top Plates (Note: Cage nuts not needed on all pools).
Refer to Step #14 for instructions. Assemble buttresses and buttress braces to the bottom strap
assemblies as illustrated using all necessary hardware. Tighten securely.
If fencing or decking is to be installed, refer to the deck and fence instructions before assembly.
If your pool is equipped with feature strips it is best to apply them to the buttresses at this time.
