INSTALLING THE POOL WALL
DO NOT ATTEMPT WALL INSTALLATION ON A WINDY DAY!
CAUTION:
It is advisable to wear protective gloves when handling the metal wall.
CAUTION:
Have 2 or 3 additional people for the installation of the pool wall into the bottom rail. This
is necessary to hold the pool wall upright until the wall ends are connected and the bolts have been
inserted in the bolt holes.
HELPFUL HINT:
Use tent stakes, string, and “S” hooks stretched out from several points around the
pool to hold up the wall until the liner installation is complete and the pool is partially filled
with water.
• Put the pool wall on a 4-ft x 4-ft plywood (see diagram 8). This is to protect the leveled ground while
installation of the pool wall is taking place.
• Before unrolling the wall into the bottom rail, decide where the skimmer and filtration system will be
placed. The opening end of the pool wall closest to the square skimmer opening should be placed on
the closest metal plate to the location that has been selected for the electrical supply of the filtration
system. The pool wall end should be resting in the center of the metal plate (see diagram 9). Make sure
that this location is not in a windward position. Skimmer opening should be in the upward position.
• Carefully uncoil the pool wall into the round rail. Join the 2 ends of the pool wall together. Line up
the bolt holes and attach the bolts, washers, and nuts; do not fully tighten. Measure and trim the
last piece of resin bottom rail to fit the base of the pool wall. Once there is a snug fit, tighten all the
nuts. (see diagram 10, 11 and 12).
NOTES:
Some larger size pools have a double row of wall bolts (see the parts list). Place the bolt
heads through the inside of the pool. Washers and nuts should be on the outside of the pool wall.
(see diagram 12). Only hand tighten the bolts at this point.
