STEP 11 – SQUARING THE STRAIGHT SIDES:
Now that the bottom structure of the pool is fully assembled, make sure that the straight sides of the pool are
perfectly in line with each other. We refer to this as "squaring" the pool. This is done by measuring from the out-
side of the first straight side upright on one side, to the outside of the last straight side upright on the opposite side
(the two straight side uprights farthest from each other.) When making these measurements they should always be
taken from the lower 12" of the straight side uprights because the higher up on the straight side upright you go, the
less accurate the measurements will be. Once you have that measurement, you should measure the distance
between the two opposite straight side uprights the same way (as shown in Fig.37 and Fig.38.) The two
measurements should be exactly the same. If they are not, adjust one entire straight side as necessary. This is
a very important step, do not continue until the measurements are identical.

The following are detailed diagrams for every size oval pool that we make. Most of these measurements
apply to both the Traditional Buttress oval assemblies and the Buttress-Free oval assemblies. Please use
the diagram that applies to your pool to make sure you have everything in its proper position before pro-
ceeding with these instructions. Taking a few minutes to check these measurements now can save you
major time and efforts down the road if something is not correct.
