Introduction
• Do not store the wood in direct sunlight or under a
black cover as this will cause distortion which will
make installation extremely difficult.
• Assemble the structure as soon as possible after
receipt.
• Assemble the structure in one go, preferably in the
morning while the temperature is cool.
• If the pool must be stored then use a cool well-
ventilated place, sheltered from sun and rain. If
possible keep the pool in its original packaging.
• Components that are damaged, cracked or
distorted due to bad storage and/or handling on
site are not covered by warranty.
In the pre-assembly period the wood is sensitive to
variations in temperature and humidity. It is
therefore necessary that you take the following
precautions immediately after delivery.
Wood is a living material and once cut the
appearance of cracks, slight movements or
changes in colour are normal and the planks
(except in extreme circumstances) do not need
replacing. The planks will have been recently
treated and may be delivered to you still moist. In
case of a rapid change in temperature; these planks
can dry very quickly and lose 1 or 2mm of height.
This might give you the impression that they are
lifting up while they are actually shrinking.
Recommendations for Storage after Delivery
• Unless your filtration kit (filter, pump and any
optional heating) is housed within a secure
waterproof enclosure, it should be placed at least
2m from the shell, you may need to purchase extra
pipe and fittings for this.
• It is important to ensure the electricity supply for
the pump or any other electrical item has 30mA
RCD protection and conforms to present electrical
regulations.
• Never leave children unattended around the pool
when completed or at any stage of construction.
• The pool is designed for domestic use. Running
along the top rail, diving or jumping into the water
from the edge must not be allowed under any
circumstances. The pool is not suitable for the
addition of diving boards.
General Safety Precautions
Both the equipment box and the pallet of wooden
planks contain a packing list detailing the contents.
As you unpack your pool check that you have all
parts required and that their condition is satisfactory.
Contact your dealer immediately if you are in any
doubt or believe parts may be missing/damaged.
