• Locating the pool in your yard

When choosing the location of your pool you will need to consider possible unseen obstacles, such as underground utilities and access for a excavation equipment.

• Decide on the size and shape of your pool

Remember to leave plenty of room for the over dig, we recommend adding 4’ on both the length and width.

Pay close attention to your dig sheet specs.

• Planning and permit process

You will want to check with your local county/city building department to find what is required of you to provide. Typically a plot plan, drawing, and engineering are required.

• Before breaking ground

Pre-grade prior to setting stakes for the excavation, determine the finished height of the concrete decking and proper drainage of water away from the house and pool (¼” per foot of slope), stake for the over dig and shelf.

• Excavation of over dig and shelf

Allows for wall height and the thickness of the concrete decking. Stake for the deep end.

• Excavation of the deep end

Once the pool has been dug to specifications, you may have to smooth out any rough or high spots.

• Setting of wall structure

We recommend laying out the panels where they belong beginning with the corners and then the skimmer panel and return line panels. You may want to start connecting the panels at a shallow end corner or near the step panel.

• Set rough plumbing and electrical

Once the walls have been set, you can lay the plumbing and electrical lines for the skimmer, return lines, pool light, and optional main drain. The concrete footing will cover the plumbing line for the main drain.

• Install the skimmer, return fittings,
pool light, and optional main drain

You should install these while you still have room to maneuver behind the wall structure.

• Pour the concrete footing

This will lock the walls into place as well as provide support.

• Backfill

After the footing has setup you can finish the plumbing lines to the skimmer and return lines and the electrical to the pool light while the rocks are filling the over dig.

• Pour the concrete decking

The cement for the concrete decking should now be poured and allowed to set up before the interior is completed.

• Install the pool base

The panels have a mark indicating the height pool base needs to be. Start in the deep end and work your way out of the shallow end as to avoid footprints.

• Install the vinyl liner

Immediately after the pool base is set you can install the vinyl liner. Be sure to read the unfolding directions included in the liner box. While stretching the liner across the pool opening, being sure not to drag it, you will want to begin tucking the beaded top edge into the track at the top of the wall to keep it in place, it can be moved around inside the track to finalize the placement. Once the liner has been tucked in, use a shop vacuum to suck the air out from behind the liner to simulate water pressure, this allows you to make any fit adjustments and smooth out wrinkles. You can then install the main drain faceplate and begin water fill. When there is at least 18” of water on the wall structure you can install the skimmer, return line, and pool light faceplates; then continue filling the pool.

• Completing the job, pool safety begins with you

Consider installing a pool fence or safety cover to keep others safe. Also, check with your county/city building department about specific regulations regarding safety.
