BackYardCity Pool Bermuda Assembly & Installation - Traditional Buttress
STEP 8 - STRAIGHT SIDE LAYOUT:
Traditional Buttress
Buttress-Free
After all of the straps have been fully assembled and attached to the strap end channels you can now start to
set them up in their final positions. If your pool has an odd number of straps (for example a 12' X 24' pool has
three straps) find the center point of the site you leveled earlier and put the first strap and straight side upright
assembly there. You then place one assembly 42", from center of strap end channel to center of strap end channel,
on each side of that first assembly. Continue like this until all assemblies are used.
If your pool has an even number of straps and straight side assemblies (for example a 15' x 30' pool has four,
which is pictured below) find your center point, mark it on the ground, and put an assembly on each side of that
mark 21" away to the center of the strap end channels. If your pool has more than two assemblies you will put
the next assemblies 42" on center from the previous assembly, as shown in Fig. 26 and Fig. 27, always keeping
the same number of assemblies on each side of your center point.
Once you have all assemblies in place you want to be sure that all of the straight side uprights on one side line
up with each other. This can be done fairly accurately by eye but we recommend that you use a string extending
from the first upright to the last. If there are any uprights not touching the string, or that cause the string to bulge
out, adjust that assembly so that the string is perfectly straight.
If you are trying to install your pool parallel to an already existing object such as a fence, simply measure
from the fence to each straight side upright making sure that the measurement is exactly the same for each.
Once you are confident that one side is straight the other side should already be straight. If it does not appear
to be straight, check to make sure that the straps are setting flat on the ground.
