BackYardCity Pool Bermuda Assembly & Installation - Snap Bead Liner

STEP 17 – PREPARING THE COVE:

Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2" base over the entire pool area to

protect the liner. Make sure that the straps and the pressure plates are covered entirely. If the base does not fully

cover the metal components, they will show through and will damage the liner. If using vermiculite or foam base,

you must have at least two inches of soil or sand on top of the straps and pressure plates. Vermiculite alone will

not properly cover these metal components, possibly allowing damage to the liner. Do not use any substance with

high alkaline or acid content, such as peat moss. It will cause the pool to corrode.

Next, using sifted earth or fine sand, build a 6" to 8" pool cove inside

the metal wall along the entire circumference. The cove will prevent the

liner from creeping under the wall and will also protect the liner from

any metal corners of the pool framework. THIS STEP IS NOT

OPTIONAL – IT MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals

can cause discoloration or corrosion, it is suggested that you place 

polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around the perimeter of the

wall, so no earth comes in contact with the metal. Since the presence of

such chemicals is beyond the control of the manufacturer, such damage

is not covered by the warranty. The plastic sheeting will not prevent a

washout in the event that your liner is damaged. The plastic is only to

protect the metal framework of the pool from corrosion.

After the cove and base are in place, rake and tamp the entire pool area.

Make sure that no sand remains on the wall above the cove. This could

cause pinholes in your liner.

 The beaded liner track should be installed onto the pool wall all

of the way around the pool.  These pieces should be as close

together as possible.  Leaving spaces between bead tracks can

cause liner problems down the road.

   Once all of the beaded liner track is on the wall, you can snap

the liner bead into the beaded liner track at four random points

around the pool.  After that is done, and you are satisfied with

how  the  liner  is  situated  within  the  pool,  you  can  continue

snapping the remainder of the liner into place around the pool.

  Go around the entire pool again making certain that the liner is

securely  snapped  into  the  track.  This  is  important  to  confirm

so that the liner does not pull out while under the pressure of

being filled with water.
