Start by unrolling the strips of asphalt (fig.
13) that will insulate the wooden structure
from the concrete slab.

Lay out the ½ slats ‘8’ that make up the
pool widths, then at the corners fit them
into the slats marked ‘1’ that make up the
lengths (fig. 14).

The slats should be fixed to the metallic
posts as they are slotted into position
(these are predrilled) with screws 6x30 from
bag D.
w
After positioning the 1st layer of slats,
check that the diagonals are equal.

Screw the slats together using screws from
bag C as shown in fig 14.

3x6 pools and rows 10 and 11 for 4x8 and 5x10 pools.
