STAGE 1

- ALTERNATIVE SITE PREPARATION FOR OVAL SHAPE POOLS

If you have purchased an oval shaped pool, you will find in the installation manual that you will have to form a concrete
pads to support ‘T’ support braces. The braces are located along the straight side of the pool only.

As an alternative to forming an individual concrete base under each ‘T’ support, we recommend that you pour just one
concrete pad to support all of the braces - please see diagrams below.

The concrete pad MUST be able to receive the ‘T’ Support Braces, to do this you will have to form
8cm x 8.5cm slots in a 14cm depth concrete pad(s). We have allowed for a small tolerance in our measurements to allow
for adjustment compared to the Vogue Installation Manual.
To help you form the slots in the concrete pad we have provided Polystyrene blocks to
enable you to form the correct size slots when pouring the concrete. USE A
6:1

(6 X BALLAST- 1 X CEMENT)

CONCRETE MIX - FAIRLY DRY, TOO

MUCH WATER AND THE POLYSTYRENE WILL FLOAT!
Make sure that all visible turf is removed and the ground where
you intend to install the pool is level, this is paramount to
ensuring that you have a trouble free installation.

Check the diagonals are correct and that both pads are
installed level. The finished concrete pad should be level with
the surrounding ground.

NOTE:- YOU DO NOT NEED TO TILT ‘T’-BRACING IF
USING A CONCRETE SLAB.

Make sure the

ground is level!

Use the Polystyrene

Blocks provided to
