• Find the 4 bottom half planks that have a flat
under side and two tongues facing upwards. Place
these flat side down on your pool base as shown
below
[See Figure B03]
• Using 4 standard planks you can now form the first
layer of the Pool walls. The 45 degree interlocking
slot at each plank end will form the shape of your
octagonal pool.
[See Figure B04]
Please note that we have used an Octagonal pool in
the diagrams, as even the stretched pools and
execise pool are of an octagonal form
• Fit the next layer of planks so each side has two
layers.
[See Figure B05]
• At this stage and after every couple of plank layers
check that the pool shell is correctly aligned on the
concrete base and that the diagonal
measurements across the corners are equal to
ensure that the structure is square. Also use a
spirit level to check the pool is level.
• Fit the plank which has the inlet and low suction
holes on. The end wall that you have determined
will have the skimmer. This starts with a bottom
half plank. It is usual to position the inlet plank as
the third whole plank up, e.g. a half plank on the
concrete base, two standard planks and then the
inlet plank.
[See Figure B06]
• Continue to build up the walls checking alignment
as you go.
• The hole for the skimmer is formed on the wall that
you started with a half plank and where the inlet
and low suction plank is fitted. There are two
planks that have a “U” shape cut out. One of these
skimmer planks is standard length, fit this on the
forth layer above the low level suction and inlet
plank, with the “U” facing up.
