PREPARING POOL COVE
Pool Cove
Pool Interior
N.
Using the masonry sand, build a pool cove 4” to 6” high inside the
wall along the entire circumference of the pool.
(fig. N)
This will prevent
the liner from creeping under the wall.
This step is not optional and
must be done.
Spread the remaining sand equally across the bottom
of the pool. This will give you a 2” sand base.
After the cove and base are in place, dampen, rake
and tamp the entire pool area. Make sure that no
sand is allowed to remain on the wall above the cove.
This could cause pinholes in your liner.
Once bottom and pool cove are set, install final panel.
