Instructions / Assembly

STEP 3: BOTTOM RING ASSEMBLY continued

D. Check the roundness of your circle by measuring diameter across in several locations. Since the rails do not automatically form a

true circle, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Otherwise, you might end up with a slightly oval shape, which can cause problems later on.

Once you have formed a true circle, stake the bottom rails at every other rail with a screwdriver, being careful not to scratch the rails.

FOR POOLS WITH ODD

NUMBER of BOTTOM

PLATES or CUFFS:

Measure from bottom

plate to center of opposite

bottom rail at every other

bottom plate. When true,

stake into position.

FOR POOLS WITH EVEN

NUMBER of BOTTOM

PLATES or CUFFS:

Measure from bottom

plate to opposite bottom

plate at every other

plate. When true, stake

into position.

Measurements

must go through

center of the pool.

STEP 4: PATIO BLOCK INSTALLATION

Once the frame is in position, begin centering bottom plates or cuffs on 2”x8”x16” patio blocks. Sink patio block into ground

under bottom plate or cuff, making sure that the block is level in all directions (side to side as well as front to back). Repeat this

step around the frame making the tops of all blocks level with the ground. Do not install blocks or rails on loose sifted soil or sand.

There must be no space between the ground and the bottom of the rails. All patio blocks must be flush with the ground, solid and

level with each other in all directions. You may remove a bottom rail at this time to cart in sand or sifted soil for the cove (step 9) as

long as your pool ring remains staked in position. Make sure you replace the bottom rail in its proper position. A chalk outline of

the bottom plates or cuffs on the patio block is an easy and temporary way to ensure that your track does not move throughout the

remainder of the installation.

Position patio blocks like this,

leaving only an inch inside the pool.

Make sure pool

is level from

block to block.

Check for levelness in all directions.
