STEP 16 – CURVED END UPRIGHT ASSEMBLY:

It is easiest to line up all of the uprights next to each other.

It helps to lean them up against a fence or some other sturdy

object. On most models, the top of the upright can be determined

by either an extra hole in the center, or an extra hole on each side

(depending on which model pool you have) for the decorator caps.

Place the metal top plate on the upright making sure that the holes

line up and the hooked part of the plate is facing the open side of

the upright. Now screw only the center hole using a #10 x ½"

screw. Do not screw the two side holes until later. This will

make things easier and more efficient down the line.

Now is the time to install the fence post holders onto the

uprights if you have a fence for the pool. Please see separate fence

instructions for details on doing this.

Install uprights on curved ends, refer to the appropriate step below for your particular pool.

TYPE #1 - BOTTOM PLATE POOLS:

• Models with metal or resin bottom plates will require one, two, or three

#10 x ½" screws for each upright, depending on which model you have.

• The top plates can remain unsecured for now, but they should be

temporarily clipped over the wall to prevent them from falling backward.

• If your pool has an additional resin "boot" for the bottom of the upright,

secure them to the uprights at this point using two more #10 x ½" screws.

• Check curved ends of the pool for roundness again, making sure that the

stakes have not been moved and your pool is still a true oval shape.

STEP 15 – PREPARING THE COVE:

Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2" base over the entire pool area to

protect the liner. Make sure that the straps and the pressure plates are covered entirely. If the base does not fully

cover the metal components, they will show through and will damage the liner. If using vermiculite or foam base,

you must have at least two inches of soil or sand on top of the straps and pressure plates. Vermiculite alone will

not properly cover these metal components, possibly allowing damage to the liner. Do not use any substance with

high alkaline or acid content, such as peat moss. It will cause the pool to corrode.

Next, using sifted earth or fine sand, build a 6" to 8" pool cove inside

the metal wall along the entire circumference. The cove will prevent the

liner from creeping under the wall and will also protect the liner from

any metal corners of the pool framework. THIS STEP IS NOT

OPTIONAL – IT MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals

can cause discoloration or corrosion, it is suggested that you place

polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the

wall, so no earth comes in contact with the metal. Since the presence of

such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage

is not covered by the warranty. The plastic sheeting will not prevent a

washout in the event that your liner is damaged. The plastic is only to

protect the metal framework of the pool from corrosion.

After the cove and base are in place, rake and tamp the entire pool area.

Make sure that no sand remains on the wall above the cove. This could

cause pinholes in your liner.
