ON-GROUND COVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
|
Please Note:
if you are installing a Loop-Loc On-Ground swimming pool cover
using Loop-Loc's patented Bracket, please disregard this installation
guide, and use the Installation Instructions which are packaged
with your hardware. (This Installation Guide is only required
if your On-ground cover is being Wood Deck Anchor Flanges) |
| B:IN-GROUND COVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
|
| Step 1:
Measure the cover and pool exactly. Lay cover over pool and adjust
for equal overlap at all 4 corners of the pool. Example: a 20'
x 40' rectangular pool takes a 22' x 42' cover. Overlap may vary
11" to 14". |
Step 2:
To determine anchor points for the 2 anchors at each corner of
the pool, measure 18" back from the edge of the cover (not
the edge of the pool). Measure at right angles to the cover edge,
as illustrated in Figure 1. |
Step 3:
Install the 8 anchors at the 4 corners of the pool (see Anchor
Installation). Attach springs to cover straps, then install springs
on anchors, using Installation Rod (see Spring Installation) |
Step 4:
Snap a chalk line along the perimeter of the pool, using corner
anchors 18" from a cover as a guide. See Figure 1 above.
This will ensure that all anchors will be aligned. |
| Step 5:
With all 4 corners secured, locate remaining anchor points individually
by pulling back each strap until cover edge is aligned with corner
overlap. Anchors should be installed 18" back from aligned
cover edge along strap line at right angle to cover edge. (Note:
Chalk line should indicate proper distance for anchors to be aligned) |
Step 6:
When all anchors and springs are installed, conduct a final check.
Adjust all springs so that tension is equal on all parts of the
cover and the cover edge lies in a straight line on all sides. |

Step 1:
Refer to Anchor Plan provided with cover. Cover must be
laid out according to the plan to ensure proper installation. |
| Step 2:
Using stakes and rope, lay a rope grid across the pool as
shown in Figure 2. Rope must be tight enough to support
the cover while you install it. |
Step 3:
Stretch cover across pool and adjust for equal overlap on
all sides. Overlap may vary 15" to 18" depending
on the cover size. |
Step 4:
Locate anchor positions on Anchor Plan for straps numbered
1-4 (see Figure 3). Measure and mark anchor positions on
deck 18" from edge of cover. |
Step 5:
Install anchors (see Anchor Installation) and springs (see
Spring Installation) for straps numbered 1-4 in order shown
on Figure 3. To ensure proper fit, follow spring compression
guidelines. |
Step 6:
Locate and install anchors and springs for straps numbered
5-8 in order shown on Figure 3. |
Step 7:
With first 8 anchors secured, locate and install remaining
anchors in an alternating pattern, working from the middle
of the cover to the ends. Secure each spring as individual
anchors are installed. |
Step 8:
When all anchors and spring are installed, conduct a final
check. Adjust all springs so that tension is equal on all
parts of the cover and the cover lies flat on the deck,
with no bunches or creases. |
