Remove wall from carton.  

NOTE: the UP arrow on
wall.

Determine starting point
as the  filter inlet and
outlet holes are at the
beginning of the wall.
Starting at the center of a
bottom plate insert the bottom edge of the wall into

the groove on the bottom rail. Ensure that the 

center line of the closure holes in the the wall

align with the

center of the plate

. Make sure that the cutouts for filter inlet and outlet are on the top portion of the wall and

will not be hidden behind a vertical.  If the wall ends do not meet, adjust the bottom rail in or out of the bottom
plates.  The spacing in all bottom plates should be equal.

Mark out pool radius (1/2 pool width) using stakes

"B" as a reference.  Form the two end semicircles by
sliding the long bottom rail groove up, into the bottom 
plates.  Lay out the strap assemblies as shown
removing the stakes as you go. The distance from strap
to strap is 48".  Install the 45½” bottom rail in between
each strap as shown. All rails are curved, including the
45½” used on the straight side.

Bring the required amount of sifted earth or pre-

washed sand into the pool area at this time.  Refer to
chart on the right for the required 

minimum

amount.

Place patio blocks under all bottom plates and end of
strap assemblies.

GROUND SHIELD 

AND WALL GUARD 

ARE OPTIONAL

Spread a ground shield or plastic
sheeting over prepared ground
(not included).  Ground Shield and
Wall Guard are available from your
local pool supply dealer or polyeth-
ylene sheeting can be purchased
from a local hardware supply.  This
will protect your pool liner and
metal parts against chemical
reactions from the ground soil.
