2. Digging the buttress trenches
Odd number of trenches;
a. If your oval pool contains an even number of buttresses,
please see next page for Even number trenches. If your
oval pool contains an odd number, position the buttress
temporarily on the straight center line from the middle.
(Image 30)
Note: Odd number means the total of sections
on one side, for example a 12 x 24 pool has Odd
number.
b. Trace around the buttress and dig a trench. Dig the
trench 3 to 5 inches deep by 10 inches wide and the
length of 52 1/2 inches long. (Image 31)
c. The bottom plates for the straight section must be at
the same level with the crushed stone. If you do not put
crushed stone, understand that the bottom plates all
around the pool must be at the same level. The warranty
will void if you do not comply with this requirement.
d. Apply crushed stone at 1 inch, then compress. Place a
concrete block of 2 inches at each end of the trench.
Important Note:
This first buttress that you install will be the reference
to install the remaining butresses, therefore ensure that
measurments and placements are exactly where they
need to be.
e. Once the block is installed, measure the depth of the
trench, it must be 2 inches deep. Make sure the block is
level by using an optical level. Ensure that both blocks
are at the same level.
f. Place the buttress structure on the blocks and ensure
that each buttress is parallel to each other. (Image 32)
See Diagrams:
Please verify your pool's footprint for correct measurements
on the last pages of this Section 1. Please ensure to verify
the footprint of your pool size for the correct placement.
