22' Octagon Layout Instructions and Pool
Dimensions
|
 Using 2' long pieces of re-bar
drive a pin at 1 & 2 parallel with fence house etc. 25'-8-3/4"
apart. Using 2 measuring tapes hooked on these two pins measure
25'-8-3/4" from pin 2 & 36'-4-5/8" from pin 1 & drive a pin where
these two measurements intersect. Now do the same measuring
36'-4-5/8" from pin 2 &
25'-8-3/4" from pin 1. Run a nylon string around these 4 pins and you
have a true sq. Next measure down the string 7'-6-1/2" both ways from
these 4 pins & drive a pin. Take the string off the 4 layout pins
and run it around the pins A,B,C etc. & you have a 8 sided Octagon
that is 2' beyond the pool wall. This is your working space behind
the pool wall. Using layout paint or lime mark along the string &
remove all pins except 1 & 2. Spray paint a circle around
these pins so the backhoe operator can avoid them. |

From the level
you want the top of the deck to be, excavate to a 45" depth. You may
bowl out the center at the main drain an extra 10" if you like as
shown in figure # 2, but keep the outside 3' as level as possible. |

It will save you time in the long run, if using sand
or #11 crushed stone, you level and tamp the area where the panels
will be placed, as they will bolt together much easier. Run a string
from pin#1 to pin#2 and put the 1st panel 2' in from the string
8'-4-3/8" from the layout pins. Using 2 tapes measure in 6'-4-3/8" and
diagonally from the other end of the panel 11'-0-1/4" and put a pin.
Using 2 tapes measure from end of panel
B 9' & 6'-4-3/8" from the previous pin & set 2nd panel. The 3rd panel
will be 9' from C & 21'-8-3/4" from A. The 4th panel will be
9'
from D & 21'-8-3/4 from B. Repeat procedure for other side. |

Follow the
finished floor dimensions carefully. Running strings criss-crossed
to the finished floor height on all planes is the easiest way to get
the floor flat. All planes outlined in fig 5 are flat. This is how
the liner is made and a proper fit can only be accomplished if the
bottom is troweled to these dimensions. Click on the link at the
bottom of these construction guidelines for some installation tips
that will be very helpful. |
