STEP 6 - ATTACHING STRAPS TO STRAP END CHANNELS ON A TRADITIONAL BUTTRESS OVAL
POOL ONLY:
*** USE THIS STEP FOR TRADITIONAL BUTTRESS OVAL INSTALLATION ONLY!
IF YOU HAVE A BUTTRESS-FREE OVAL, PLEASE SEE ALTERNATE STEP 6.
After you have completed the assembly of all of the strap sections, each end of the assembled straps need to
be attached to a strap end channel. Please keep in mind that the strap runs underneath the liner of the pool, so it
should be attached to the open end of the channel, not the side where the strut connects.
The straps connect to the channels, along with the end channel caps, shown in Fig.19 and Fig.20 using two
5/16" x ½" bolts and two 5/16" nuts at every connection. Be sure to attach the straps to the underside of the strap
end channels. The heads of the bolts go on top of the channel, and the nuts should be on the under side. Always
use the two holes closest to the end of the strap end channels when connecting the strap sections to the channel.

As you are bolting the strap to the strap end channels, add the end channel caps to the under side of the straps at each end
as shown in Fig.19 and Fig.20
When these end channel caps are lined up properly, the two holes in these end channel caps will line up with the two holes
in the straps, as well as, the corresponding holes in the strap end channels themselves.
These end channel caps are secured in place using the same two 5/16" x ½" bolts and 5/16" nuts that are used to secure the
straps to the strap end channels.
When these parts are installed correctly they will cover the openings at the ends of the channels. This will prevent the sand
base of your pool from washing into these channels once the pool is filled with water.
