PREPARATION
d)
The bottom plates for the straight section must be at the
same level with the crushed stone. Spread a layer of crushed
limestone (or equivalent) 3/4” (19 mm) thick into the bottom
of each trench. Pack firmly. If you do not put crushed stone,
understand that the bottom plates all around the pool must
be at the same level. The warranty will void if you do not
comply with this requirement.
e)
Place a concrete patio stone 12” x 12” square x 2” thick
(30 x 30 x 5 cm) into the wide part of each trench, on top of
the limestone layer.
Make sure
it is
LEVEL
and positioned
correctly.
(Images 2.20 & 2.21)
Crushed limestone
or equivalent must be used instead of
brick sand or vermiculite to backfill the base U-channels. The
level of compaction achieved by using crushed limestone or
equivalent is superior to that of brick sand or vermiculite.

Assemble Buttresses for Base Channels
a)
Add another layer of crushed limestone (or equivalent) 1”
(25mm) thick into the bottom of each trench, and around the
patio stones. Pack firmly.
(Image 2.22)
b)
In each trench, measure 32” (81 cm) from the
Pool Wall Line
to the end of the channel. Carefully add more limestone (or
equivalent) to the trench.
(Image 2.23)
c) Repeat steps 5 (a) or (b), depending if you have odd or
even number of trenches up to step 6 (b)for the rest of the
base U-channels and trenches. Remember to please follow
your pool’s footprint at the end of this Section 1 for meas-
urements on the placement of the
trenches.
d)
Use the carpenter’s level to make sure everything is exactly
level with the rest of the cleared area and the base plates (the
base plates will be installed in Section 2). If it is not, the base U-
channel must be removed and the crushed limestone (or equiva-
lent) and patio stone adjusted.
This first buttress that you install will be the reference to
install the remaining butresses, therefore ensure that
measurments and placements are exactly where they need
to be.
VERIFY YOUR POOL’S FOOTPRINT!
Make sure there is adequate drainage in the bottom of each
trench and along the sides of the pool area. There must be
adequate drainage for a safe and secure pool foundation.
