Aluminum Skirting

The aluminum skirting provides a finished look to the outside
of the pool structure. The skirting has two different sides. The
finished side (with the protective film) should face out. The shiny
unfinished side (no protective film) will face the pool frame.
Make sure the skirting panels are installed with the protective
film facing out. The protective film will be removed to expose the
brushed stainless finish.
Starting at the rear of the pool, position the rear skirting pan-
el (skirting panel with the large pre-drilled hole at the bottom)
against the rear pool panel. Align the pre-drilled hole at the bot-
tom of the skirting panel with the tension strap bolt. Fig. 14.

Once the skirting panel is positioned over the tension strap bolt
and the bottom of skirting panel is seated up against the bottom
flange of the pool panel, bend the skirting panel by pressing up
against the center to the point where the back of the skirting
panel makes contact with the vertical panel stiffeners of the pool
panel. The skirting panel will naturally follow the profile of the
vertical panel stiffeners. Bend the tab at the top of the skirting
panel so it makes contact with the top flange of the pool panel.
Use the clear packing tape from the hardware kit to secure the
top of the skirting panel to the top flange of the pool. Attach the
bottom of the skirting panel to the bottom flange of the pool
using the 1" (25mm) self-drilling screws located in the skirting
base hardware bag. There are pre-drilled holes along the bottom
of the skirting panel that determine the location of these screws.
