ASSEMBLING THE POOL WALL

Secon

1. Make the cove

a. If you are using sand, bank the sand against the wall

to form a cove of 3” to 6” (7.5cm to 15cm) high and 8”

to 12” (20cm to 30cm) wide at ground level. This will

prevent the liner from creeping under the wall, and it will

also protect the liner from any metal edges of the pool

framework. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL, IT MUST BE

DONE. (Image 11)

NOTE: If a smaller cove (less than 3” (7.5cm)) is made along

with using a very tight liner, this will buckle the wall.

b. Water the sand to compact it and use a trowel to spread

it evenly. (Image 12)

c. 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

under warranty. (Image 13)

d. If you are using styrofoam cove pieces instead of sand,

insert them in the bottom rail and refer to the installation

instructions that are provided with them.

Important Note:

The cove is an important part of the pool structure. Take your

time to make a complete, full-size cove.
