Another question... Is there a shortcut method of getting the braces aligned, other than staking out 20 different stake locations?

It seems to me that I ought to be able to find the exact center point, and set up the center brace, then measure the distance from the center brace, to the next brace, and align them that way... My pool is running alongside a block wall, much like the one in dennis' picture install thread from last year, so it seems like I can check for square by making sure the braces are parrallel to each other, and the same distance off the block wall.

Am I wrong? or am I wasting a ton of time following the manufacturer's install instructions, being that my ground is already level... It seems that all their staking instructions are mostly geared towards leveling, but then the brace locations are figured off those existing stakes.

Just FYI, the instructions I'm looking at are located here:
