Instructions / Assembly

STEP 7: WALL JOINT ASSEMBLY
We manufacture two different kinds of wall joint assemblies. One has a single row of bolts and the other is a staggered
double row pattern. In each case, the aluminum wall bars are not pre-attached. Please check which design your pool has
and follow the appropriate instructions below.
Type #1 Single Row
IMPORTANT – This operation must be done carefully! When joining the
sidewall, make sure that the aluminum strips do not touch each other.
One bar must be inside the pool (the bolts will touch this bar) and one bar
must be outside the pool (the nuts will touch this bar). Insert the bolts with the
bolt head to the inside and the nuts to the outside of the pool. Do not tighten until
all bolts have been inserted. If your screwdriver slips and scratches the head of
the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot puncture the liner. It is
recommended that you cover the heads of the bolts, on the inside of the wall, with
three layers of duct tape. If the insertion of the wall in the bottom rail is tight at
the point where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make
enough room, again being sure not to scratch the wall or the bottom rail.

REMEMBER:
ALL NUTS SHOULD BE AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE USING HAND TOOLS. BARS MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER. EVERY HOLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE
WALL/WALL BAR SYSTEM MUST HAVE A SECURELY TIGHTENED NUT AND BOLT. IF THIS IS DONE INCORRECTLY YOUR POOL WILL BREAK!
Type #2 Staggered Bolt Pattern
IMPORTANT – This operation must be done carefully! When joining the sidewall, make sure that the aluminum strips do not touch
each other. One bar must be inside the pool (the bolts will touch this bar) and one bar must be outside the pool (the nuts will touch this bar).
Insert the bolts with the bolt head to the inside and the nuts to the outside of the pool. Do not tighten until all bolts have been inserted. If
your screwdriver slips and scratches the head of the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot puncture the liner. It is recommended

is tight at the point where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make enough room, again being sure not to scratch
the wall or the bottom rail.
• If you are missing any hardware, do not leave empty holes in the wall joint assembly. Doing so will cause your pool to break!
See your pool dealer for additional hardware in the case of a shortage.

The Wall Bar is loose. It must be used when the wall is
assembled on the job site as per drawings. Failure to do so
will result in wall failure and voids the warranty
