1. Make the cove
a. Build a sand cove against the pool wall by creating a 4"
angle of sand (on top of the 3" sand base) giving you
a total sand cove height of 7 inches where the base
meets the resin pool wall. This will prevent the liner from
creeping under the wall, and it will also protect the liner
from any metal edges of the pool framework. THIS STEP
IS NOT OPTIONAL, IT MUST BE DONE.
b. Water the sand to compact it and use a trowel to spread
it evenly. (Image 11)
Important Note:
The cove is an important part of the pool structure. Take
your time to make a complete, full-size cove.
3" Sand Base
IMPORTANT: If using foam cove, install it on top of the 3" sand base.
c. Proceed to your liner instructions and after liner
installation proceed to Section 4-Installing the pool
frame.
