Step 2 - Attach Brace Supports
Identify & sort braces by length. There are six medium (M), two short (S)
and one special (*) braces (see 2.1). Separate five 3/8" x 1" long bolts &
3/8" small washers & nuts from hardware kit (see 2.2). Lay deck platform
face down & position braces (see 2.3). Two braces are secured to one bolt
position and identified by the circles (see 2.3 & 2.5). Fit bolt (+ washer)
through the large hole in end of the braces and through hole on steel frame
(see 2.4 & 2.5 & 2.6) Secure using washer & nut from bottom. Tighten
hardware to snug only. DO NOT ATTACH THE SPECIAL BRACES UNTIL

Select all five 96" long support posts (see 3.1). Note each post is
marked with direction arrow (see 3.2). Stand deck platform with
braces on it’s edge so the back legs are towards the left (see 3.4).
From bottom to top of platform, fit a support post through the post
hole in platform (see 3.3 above). Start with the post towards the
bottom (see 3.4 -
post hole “A”). Make certain the direction arrow
and hole in the post is facing the bolt hole in the platform frame (see
3.5). Position the post so the hole in the post is centered with the
bolt hole in the frame (see 3.6). Using a post spacer (see 3.7) & a
3/8" x 6" bolt and washer (see 3.8), position spacer between post &
frame & pass bolt through holes in frame, spacer & post (see 3.9).
Secure only finger tight using washer & nut so post can move
slightly (see 3.10). With deck still standing on edge, repeat above
procedure for support post located at position “B” in 3.4 above.

Step 1 - Organize & Get Ready for Assembly - Separate Hardware & Identify
Your pool deck is packaged in five cartons total. Familiarize
yourself with all components (see parts layout on page 1).
Open the hardware kit (bag) and arrange hardware bags,
parts and pieces. Most hardware is individually packaged and
labelled for easy identification (see 1.1). NOTE: the pool steps /
cartons (boxes 2 & 4) include hardware as well. Follow
hardware layout included for proper identification and usage.
A measurement guide on the hardware layout can be used to
verify length. All hardware included is 18.8 stainless steel (302
-304 stainless) except the gate latch & striker bar.
