Ground ready for install

[hrsdennis]

Here is what I do. I use a two wheel dolly to move the wall into place. I start the wall at a footplate and hold the wall up with my tripod. I unroll the wall a few feet at a time by leaning the wall back into my knees and then with a little twist of the hands and a little hip movement to move the knees to move the wall it somehow unrolls itself. I then turn and insert the wall into the bottom rail. As the wall gets lighter I will be unrolling with one hand and inserting into the bottom rail with the other. I do not use any boards under the wall. They would just slow me down.

My helper is always close behind installing the pool framework. That’s the real trick, install the frame as you install the wall and it will never blow down.

I am not a big fan of to many hands. Take small steps and two or three people are plenty.

Keep us updated, Dennis

Dennis' method is the best way to do it, I think his method is the rocking twisting that I described too (at least as I'm picturing it, it seems to be the same - except we used two people for the first few turns) I used planks because my wall was well over 400 lbs (and about 100 linear feet?!?!?) and that weight needed to be distributed so it would not dig it's own hole. I had allready placed the sand in my center area where I was unrolling the wall. if your wall is 2 piece on a 30 or so foot pool, it will be about half the weight for each section and MUCH more manageable.
I really thought that the 400+ lb one piece wall was about the stupidest idea ever, why could the manufacturer not provide you two pieces, identical lengths and identical seams? It just didn't make sense, but then it WAS manufactured in a certain part of Canada that wants to be it's own country.....
Keep the wall on the inside of your pool, read the instructions well, because the start/end of your wall may well indicate where the skimmer and return will be located.
