ALTERNATE STEP 6 -ATTACHING STRAPS TO STRAP END CHANNELS FOR A BUTTRESS-FREE
OVAL POOL ONLY:
***IF YOU HAVE A TRADITIONAL BUTTRESS OVAL, USE THE PREVIOUS STEP 6 FOR YOUR OVAL
POOL.
When the straps are completely assembled (as shown in Fig.21) attach each end of the straps, and an end channel
cap (shown in Fig.22 and Fig.23) to a strap end channel using two 5/16" x ½" bolts and two 5/16" nuts at each point
of connection. Note that the strap should be attached to the underside of the channels (as shown in Fig.21) with the
heads of the bolts on top of the channel and the nuts on the underside of the channel. Always use the two holes
closest to the end of the strap end channel when you are connecting the straps to the strap end channels (as shown in Fig.23).

As you are bolting the strap to the strap end channels, add the end channel caps to the underside of the straps at each end
as shown in Fig.22 and Fig.23.
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 two 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.
