HOLD DOWN SHEET 10
The hold-down sheets are inserted lip down
into the bottom rail inside the pool
as shown.
Do not bend the
hold-down sheet out
of shape. The sides of
each sheet will overlap
the sides of the adjacent
sheets. They form a
continuous strip of
metal. The hold-down sheets
prevent the pool from lifting
under water pressure. THIS POINT

Make sure that the buttresses on each side of the pool are lined up in a straight row
