STEP 5 - PRE-ASSEMBLING THE STRAIGHT SIDES OF A TRADITIONAL  BUTTRESS OVAL POOL ONLY:

A) Start by laying the strap end channels out on the ground so 

that the open ends face down. Notice the two slots on top of 

each of these channels. You will not be using these slots in 

the construction of the pool, but pay attention to where they 

are located in the diagrams. They indicate which way the 

channels are facing. See Fig.7

B) Now take the straight side 4"x4" Upright and push it down 

over the strap end channel where those slots are located.  

Position the open end of the straight side upright to face the 

short end of the channel (the inside of the pool) as shown 

in Fig.8. The two holes on each side of the upright should 

line up with two of the holes on each side of the strap end 

channel.  Secure the parts with two 5/16" x 4 ½" bolts and 

two 5/16" nuts. Repeat for all assemblies.

C) Once all of the straight side uprights are attached, you can 

begin attaching the struts.  This is done by pushing the 

angled end of the strut (the end with two holes on each 

side) over the end of the strap end channel and the other 

side around the straight side upright.  The hole on each side 

of the strut lines up with the hole in the straight side 

upright that is farthest from the open end of the straight 

side upright.  The two holes on the other end of the strut 

line up with the only two holes in the back end of the strap 

end channel.  Secure the struts using three 5/16" x 4 ½" 

bolts and three 5/16" nuts. See Fig.9 for visual instructions.

D) Now you can install the straight side bottom rail connectors.

Use one per strap end channel. Place the connector on top

of the strap end channel so that the open part of the

connector sits inside the straight side upright. The  

hole 

connector will line up

in the  straight side 

with the hole between the two slots

on the strap

end channel. Secure the piece using a 

#12 x ¾" screw.

See Fig.10 for visual instructions.

*Please do not be alarmed if you are not using all of the holes in the strap end channels. We use this same 

channel for a few different products so there are some holes that you will not be using for this pool.

Please follow diagrams to be sure you are using all of the correct holes.
