STEP 16 – PREPARING THE COVE:
Using neutral alkalinity sifted earth or fine sand without pebbles, build a 2" base over the entire pool area to
protect the liner. Make sure that the straps and the pressure plates are covered entirely. If the base does not fully
cover the metal components, they will show through and will damage the liner. If using vermiculite base, you must
have at least two inches of soil or sand on top of the straps and pressure plates. Vermiculite alone will not properly
cover these metal components, possibly allowing damage to the liner. Do not use any substance with high alkaline
or acid content, such as peat moss. It will cause the pool to corrode.
Next, using sifted earth or fine sand, build a 6" to 8"
pool cove inside the metal wall along the entire circumference.
The cove will prevent the liner from creeping under the
wall and will also protect the liner from any metal corners
of the pool framework. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL –
IT MUST BE DONE! Since earth containing chemicals can
cause discoloration or corrosion, it is suggested that you
place polyethylene plastic sheeting under the cove around
the perimeter of the wall, so no earth comes in contact with
the metal. Since the presence of such chemicals is beyond
the control of the manufacturer, such damage is not covered
by the warranty. The plastic sheeting will not prevent a
washout in the event that your liner is damaged. The plastic
is only to protect the metal framework of the pool from
corrosion.

IMPORTANT- This operation must be done carefully! When joining the sidewall, make sure that the aluminum
strips do not touch each other. One bar must be inside the pool (the bolts will touch this bar) and one bar must be
outside the pool (the nuts will touch this bar). Insert the bolts with the bolt head to the inside and the nuts to the
outside of the pool. Do not tighten until all bolts have been inserted. If your screwdriver slips and scratches the
head of the bolt, file the scratch smooth so that it cannot puncture the liner. Cover the heads of the bolts, on the
inside of the wall, with three layers of duct tape. If the insertion of the wall in the bottom rail is tight at the point
where the wall is joined together, insert a screwdriver and twist to make enough room, again being sure not to scratch the
wall or the wall rim. (Sharkline has several wall closure systems, please follow the diagram that matches your pool).
