• With the help of a spirit level, make the holes that have been marked following these instructions: If the holes are in a
straight line, they should all be at a 90° angle from the deck.
• When marking the holes on an outward bend (see figure F), reduce from 3 to 5mm the standard distance indicated by the
drilling template. On an outward bend, the fabric covers more of
the pole (see figure B) compared to straight line arrangement.
This is why we reduce the spacing between the poles by a few
millimeters. At the time of making the holes, tilt the drill from
2° to 4° towards the outside of the pool for providing the poles
with a slightly outward incline. The inclination will guarantee the
optimum tension of the net on the superior part of the barrier.
If the bend is not too pronounced, 2° inclination is probably
enough; if, on the contrary, the bend is more noticeable, then
4° inclination should be used (see figure C).
On an outward bend, the fabric covers more of the pole op-
posed to a straight line arrangement.
• When marking the holes on an inward bend (see figure F), in-
crease the standard distance indicated by the drilling template
with 3 to 5 mm. On an inward bend, the fabric covers less of
the pole (see figure D) compared to straight line arrangement.
This is why the spacing between the poles needs to be in-
creased by a few millimeters. At the time of making the holes,
tilt the drill from 2° to 4° towards the pool for providing the
poles with a slight inward incline. This inclination will guarantee
that the net has the optimum tension on the superior part of the
barrier. If the bend is not too pronounced, 2° inclination is prob-
ably enough; if, on the contrary, the bend is more noticeable,
then 4° inclination should be used (see figure E).
On an inward bend, the fabric covers less of the pole opposed
to a straight line arrangement.
The inclination of the poles, depending on the bend can help
achieve the optimum tension on the superior part of the net.
