LEVEL SWIM PLATFORM IN SLOPING POOL |
|
- It is not possible for us to build our platforms to accommodate sloping pool bottoms |
|
- We recommend a simple DIY "leveling" solution that will work in most situations |
|
- Do not use this method if: |
|
|
- the length of the platform is over 7 feet long |
|
- the drop over the length of the platform is more than 4 inches |
|
- Base of platform MUST be" reinforced" with aluminum supports inside colored tubes or it will "sag" |
|
- By trial and error, calculate space needed at leading edge of platform to make it level |
|
- Purchase a section of PVC tubing that: |
|
|
- is as wide as the leading edge of the platform |
|
- has a diameter close to the space you calculated to make the platform level |
|
- Do not place PVC more than 6 inches back from the leading edge - will cause stress |
|
- Attach the PVC tube with plastic ties (temporary) or no-rust screws (permanent) |
|
- Use other materials to duplicate this process - but ensure will not harm pool bottom or water |
