ALTERNATE STEP 4 -
PRE-ASSEMBLING THE STRAIGHT SIDES OF A BUTTRESS-FREE OVAL POOL ONLY:
*** IF YOU HAVE A TRADITIONAL BUTTRESS OVAL, PLEASE REFER TO THE
A) Start by laying out the under box channels so that the open
sides of each under box channel is facing up. Then slide the
strap end channel over the top of the under box channels so
that they form a tube. Be sure that the holes in both channels
are aligned, but do not bolt them together yet. See Fig. 11
B) Now slide the straight side 4"x4" uprights over the strap
end channels making sure that the holes line up as
shown in Fig.12.
C) Once the straight side 4"x4" uprights are attached, apply the
left and right side gussets on each. The pieces are marked
"L" and "R". The gussets are applied under the channels and
around the straight side upright. Once you have them in
place screw the left and right gussets to each other using
three #10 screws. See Fig.13 for visual instructions.
D) All holes should be lined up at this point. Bolt the components
together as shown in the diagram. Use 5/16" x 5" long bolts
and 5/16" nuts for the channels, and 5/16" x 5" long steel bolts
for connecting the gussets to the uprights.
Remember to include the three-hole plate at the fronts of
the gussets. If these washers are left off your pool will break!
See Fig.14 for visual instructions.
E) Once all of the 5" long bolts have been tightened, install the
straight side bottom connectors. This is done by placing the
connector on top of the strap end channel just inside the
straight side upright. The hole in the connector should line
up with the hole in the strap end channel. Secure the
connector to the channel using a single # 12 x ¾" screw
for each as shown in Fig.15.
*Please do not be alarmed if you are not using all of the holes in the strap end channels. We use this same
channel for a few different products so there are some holes that you will not be using for this pool. You will
also have 3 extra 5/16" x 5" steel bolts per upright when installing the Butress-Free system.
Please follow diagrams to be sure you are using all of the correct holes and hardware.
