STEP 20 – STRAIGHT SIDE TOP PLATE INSTALLATION:
Now is the time to install the straight side top plates. Simply place each one over a different oval upright and the
stabilizer rail, match the holes on the top plate to those on the straight side upright, and fasten them together using
four #10 x ½" screws in each.
STEP 21 – SECURING THE CURVED SIDE UPRIGHTS:
For the uprights on the curved ends of the pool, you can now pull the front of the top plate (the hooked part) over the
stabilizer bar and, after you are positive that the upright is level, you can now add the final two screws necessary to
secure the uprights to the pool. If the uprights are not level, it will be very difficult to get the top rails to fit together.
It is a good idea to use a carpenter's level to check that the upright is standing perfectly straight. If the upright is
leaning left or right this is easy to correct before putting the final two screws into the top plate.
