Long
Bottom Rail
From Oval End of Pool
Mark out pool radius (1/2 pool width) using stakes "B"
as a reference. Form the two end semicircles by sliding
the long bottom rail groove up, into the bottom plates. Lay
out the strap assemblies as shown removing the stakes as
you go. The distance from strap to strap is 36". Install the
short bottom rail in between each strap as shown.
Bring the required amount of sifted earth or pre-washed
sand into the pool area at this time. Refer to chart above
for the required
minimum
amount. Place patio blocks
under all bottom plates and end of strap assemblies.
GROUND SHIELD AND
WALL GUARD ARE OPTIONAL
Spread a ground shield or plastic sheeting
over prepared ground (not included). Ground
Shield and Wall Guard are available from
your local pool supply dealer or polyethylene
sheeting can be purchased from a local hard-
ware supply. This will protect your pool liner
and metal parts against chemical reactions
from the ground soil.
