DECEMBER 2, 2003 (Round Pool - 1" Rims)
If you have purchased a hopper liner, see special excavation instructions in liner carton.
Using the chart below and FIG. 1, mark off pool area as shown.
a.
Drive a stake into ground at approximate center of pool area.
b.
Tie a loop at one end of a string and drop it around the stake.
c.
Measure correct distance on the string using chart below.
d.
Attach a marking stick and scribe a circle on the ground.
e.
Remove all sod within this circular area leaving the stake
as the center mark.
Unless you have access to a surveyor’s level, the best, most accurate way to level the ground is with a straight
plank (2 x 4 will do but it should be straight)
and a carpenter’s level (FIG. 2). Find the lowest spot within the pool
area and level the ground to the lowest point. Dig away the high areas - do not fill in low areas (FIG. 3).
NOTE:
Figures 1 and 2 show areas to be leveled for placement of the pool frame. Remember - you must also provide
a three foot level area outward from the pool frame so the pool wall will serve as a barrier to toddlers.
Recheck the level of the entire pool area. The success of your installation depends upon how well this is
performed.
