Mark out pool radius (1/2 pool width) using stakes "B" as a reference. Form the two end semicircles by sliding the long bottom rail groove up, into the bottom plates.

Lay out the strap assemblies as shown removing the stakes as you go. The distance from strap to strap is 36". Install the short bottom rail in between each strap as shown.

Bring the required amount of sifted earth or pre-washed sand into the pool area at this time. Refer to chart above for the required minimum amount. Place patio blocks under all bottom plates and end of strap assemblies.
