CONTRACT INSTALLATIONS
The manufacturer is in no way affiliated with any professional installer. Therefore the manufac- turer can assume no responsibility, for errors in installation by the home owner or said profes- sional installer. If you have your deck installed by others, please supervise to be sure they comply with the proper installation techniques shown.
Their past experience or short cuts may not cover the latest improvements in our decks. Do not allow any short cuts of any nature.
LOCAL CODES

Any after market or home built deck should be built to the local building code requirements, including load capacity and fencing requirements.

Severe electrical shock could result if you in- stall your pump or filter on a deck. They could fall into the water, causing severe shock or electrocu- tion. Do not install on a deck or other surface at, above or slightly below the top SEAT of the pool.
BARRIER REQUIREMENTS
If the distance from the top of the assembled pool is less than 48” vertically from the surround- ing grade, a fence or barrier is needed to surround
the pool with a minimum height of 48”.
A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential drowning and near drowning and is not a substitute for constant supervision of children.
A barrier is a fence, wall, or a combination thereof which completely surrounds the swim- ming pool and obstructs access to the swimming pool. Barriers must comply with local and national building codes and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
These are minimum fencing and barrier re- quirements. Check your local building codes for other requirements they may request. Optional fencing kits are available, Please contact your lo- cal dealer.
If pool covers are used for safety barriers they should comply with ASTM F 1346 “Stan- dard Performance Specification for Safety Covers and Labeling Requirements for All Covers for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs.”
