Measure from the last strap to
the outer end of the pool.
Measurements in both ends
should be equal. Also make sure
that the sides of the pool between
the straps are straight.
Confirm that the strap assemblies
are "square" by measuring
diagonally across from the first
strap to the last strap.
Make sure that the buttresses on
each side of the pool are lined up
in a straight row
Also, the measurements from the
center of one strap to the center
of the next one should be 48".

Once the wall is closed and screws and nuts are
tightened securely, cover the screw heads on the
inside of the pool with 3 layers of cloth tape all the
way from top to bottom of wall. If the filter inlet and
outlet are not used, cover over the pre-scored areas
on the inside of the pool wall with 1 layer of tape.
If your Pool Wall has the
Recessed Posi-Lock System
an additional layer of tape should
be added to the inside part of the
extended end of the wall.
Cloth tape or duct tape is
available through your local
pool dealer or hardware
store.

The hold-down sheets are inserted lip down
into the bottom rail inside the pool
as shown.
Do not bend the
hold-down sheet out
of shape. The sides of
each sheet will overlap
the sides of the adjacent
sheets. They form a
continuous strip of
metal. The hold-down sheets
prevent the pool from lifting
under water pressure.
