STEP 5
We suggest you install the top rails gradually as the wall is unrolled to give more
stability to the metal sheet. It is also recommended to hold and support the top of
the wall until it is fully installed, with the help of several people or by using the vinyl
covered hooks, rope and tent peg attached to the top of the wall to make it stand as
straight as possible.
BASIN ASSEMBLY
Once the wall is completely unrolled and inserted into the bottom rails, you could be
faced with 3 situations:
• The wall seems too long (it is not) See Step 1.
• The wall seems too short (it is not) See Step 2.
• The assembly holes at both ends of the wall are perfectly aligned. Go to Step 3.
STEP 1
If your wall seems too long, the spaces between the rails in the bottom plates should
be enlarged. Gently tap each rail inside of the bottom plate outwards so that the
circumference is slightly enlarged.
STEP 2
If your wall seems too short, the spaces between the rails in the bottom plates
should be reduced. Gently tap each rail inside of the bottom plate towards the inside
so that the circumference is slightly reduced.
Tighten all the screws without forgetting any because this could cause an alignment
problem.
STEP 4
Cover the wall joint by applying two or three layers of 2” (50mm) duct tape. Make
sure all screw heads are well covered with tape so that the liner is protected from
sharp corners of screws to avoid it to be torn or pierced.
STEP 3
When the assembly holes of the wall are aligned, you will be able to join them
together. To do this, place both ends of the wall on top of each other, then place the
two steel bars, one inside, the other outside the wall. To help you align the holes of
steel bars to wall, insert two or three punch or screwdrivers into holes to keep joint
aligned. Insert screws and nuts provided for the wall (screw heads inside the pool
and nuts outside); do not tighten them for now.
Make sure all holes have screws and nuts. Once all screws and nuts are in
place, tighten them with a torque force of 8.5 N·m (75 in·lbf).
If you have done one of the two steps (1 or 2) you absolutely have to recheck
the spacing between the rails in each bottom plate to make sure that spacing
is equal in all plates.
Screw heads must be inside the pool.
Set a torque wrench to 8.5 N·m (75 in·lbf).
