COVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Decking around the Fastlane Pool should only be done once the
pool is assembled, filled with water, and the Fastlane and Water
Quality Systems are running.
To install the retractable cover on a Fastlane Pool, a deck must first
be constructed around the perimeter of the pool. Decks can be
made any width and they often are built to integrate into the pool’s
surroundings. A very simple decking structure that is the minimum
to accommodate the cover system for the Fastlane Pool is
described below. This system uses 5/4” cedar decking that is read-
ily available at local lumber yards and home supply centers, but if
desired, other materials can be substituted for the 5/4” cedar. The
joining methods are intentionally very simple for this project, and
if desired, longer lengths can be achieved by adjoining two small-
er boards together. The task envisioned is a quick weekend proj-
ect for a handy person. However, before beginning this project, the
pool must be assembled, filled with water, and the Fastlane and
Water Quality Systems must be running properly. It is most help-
ful if the pool frame is installed as close to level as possible.
Building the Deck
1) Using eight of the provided self-drilling fasteners, attach two
8'-11" cedar planks to the front (propulsion unit end) of the
pool. The upper board should be mounted just below the acrylic
Fastlane hanging bracket that grabs the top rail of the pool. Both
boards should be level and centered along the front of the pool,
and four fasteners should be used per board, two at each verti-
cal support strut.
