• The Top Shelving that runs around the perimeter is
supported by Top shelving brackets. These
triangular brackets are fixed with the “sharp”
corner facing downwards against the pool wall.
[See Figures B23 & B24]
• Locate the top shelving brackets and place them
on top of the pool wall in approximately the
positions indicated on the Pool Layout drawing of
your sized swimming pool.
• With a pencil mark the position of top each
shelving bracket centre line on the top of the pool
wall according to the dimensions on the Pool
Layout drawing.
• Note that either side of the skimmer you may have
to adjust the top shelving bracket positions.
• Position the wooden external ladder in your
chosen wall. On each side hold a top shelving
bracket or vertical support bracket (depending on
your pool layout drawing) tight against the outside
of the ladder and mark its position. The ladder is
later bolted onto these supports
• It will be easiest to fit the shelving brackets by
having one person in the pool and another outside
holding each bracket.
• Level the top of the shelving bracket with the top of
the pool wall, a set square will assist. The top
shelving will eventually rest on both the top
shelving bracket and the pool wall. Pilot drill (4mm)
the top hole through the pool wall and fix the screw
horizontally into the top shelving bracket.
• Make sure the shelving bracket is vertical with a
spirit level and then pilot drill and fix the lower
screw.
