RESIN TOP RAIL
INSTALLATION
When a resin top rail pool is assembled, you must use special
hardware to attach the resin top rail to the metal top plate. Please
see the Fig 65.
The special hardware is:
a) A #10 screw that is 1" long.
b) A washer with the screw to distribute the pressure more evenly.

Your pool either has metal top rails, or resin top rails. Please notice the different hardware that is necessary for the
resin top rail pools.
You should have two people while installing the top rails. If a top rail falls in the pool it can cut your liner.
You should have two different length top rails with
your oval pool. The 41 ¼" long top rails (measured
from longest point to longest point) are for the straight
sides of the pool. Note, the four rails that connect the
curved side uprights to the straight side uprights are
41 ¼" rails.
Install all straight side rails (41 ¼") first by placing
them on the top plates, lining up the holes in the top
rail with the holes in the top plates, and secure them
down using four #10 screws for each top rail. All
screws should be put on loose and tightened after all
rails are on.
Once all of the straight side rails are done, install the
longer rails on the curved sides of the pool in the
same fashion.
