After assembly, adjust the supporting braces and check carefully that they are correctly positioned: plumb,
level, correct alignment of the supporting braces. To ensure that the supporting braces stay in place after
adjustment, you can pre-seal them with a small amount of concrete.
TIP:
You can use the supporting braces to visualise how high the concrete slab should be once it has been
poured. To do this, taking the top of the pool wall, below the coping, as level 0 (underneath the coping,
see
Figure
4), measure 1.303 m and mark this distance on the front of the supporting brace. This mark will
correspond to the height of the finished concrete slab.
The height of the pool under the coping may be over 1.303 m if the moisture content of the wood is
high at the time of installation of the pool (wood stored in a humid or poorly ventilated area).
Take particular care while carrying out these assembly steps, they will determine the quality of the
pool finish. Incorrect positioning of the supporting braces may render assembly of the pool walls
impossible.
Check that all the dimensions quoted in
