• The top shelving comes as 16 pieces, 8 inner
planks and 8 outer planks.
• Lay the inner planks around the pool, resting them
on the wall and top shelving brackets, inserting
stainless steel biscuits supplied in fixing kit as you
proceed.
[See Figure E01]
• The inner planks are designed to slightly overhang
the installed liner (by approx 20mm). Ensure that
this overhang is consistent all around the pool.
• Take your time to position the top shelving
carefully.
• Continue to lay the outer planks leaving a gap of
approximately 4mm between the inner and outer
planks.
• Once you are satisfied with the positioning you can
then mark out the screw positions on the centres
of the top shelving brackets, vertical supports and
in the eight corners.
Mark out your screw
positions on the flat areas of the top shelving
(not the reeded pattern area).
This will allow you
to finish your fixings using either of the options
below.
Option 1 – Exposed Fixings
• Leave the screw head exposed by using the plug
cutter bit supplied to countersink the stainless
steel screws (5 x 70mm).
