How to Measure
This page describes a simple step-by-step measuring method enabling us to make a product to the exact shape of your pool. This is used for manufacturing Shaped DIY Nets & Covers.
Example: How to measure pool
FOLLOW THESE STEPS (refer to the example drawing above)
- Establish two points, ‘A’ and
‘B’ remote from the pool, about
two thirds the length of your pool. The longer the
line the more accurate the coordinates will be. The line should be more or less parallel
alongside the length of the pool and approximately 1 meter ( 1 yard ) away from the edge
of the pool. (See sketch above: marked in red)
- Measure the distance between A and
B very accurately and record on
the chart - see chart at bottom of this page. (See sketch above:
marked in red)
- Using chalk, mark the coordinates on the coping, along the inside
edge of the pool at approximately 600mm to 700mm ( 25 to 30 inches) intervals. No
intermediate coordinates are needed along a straight line section of the
pool. Take care to mark all changes
in direction, corners, obstacles, rockeries, flower boxes etc. Refer to these coordinates as points
1, 2, 3 etc clockwise around your pool. (See sketch above for example:
black marks)
- Measure now from point A to
point 1 and record on the
chart. Measure from point B to point
1, record on the chart . Round of to nearest inch or centimeter.
Repeat this procedure for all the points 2, 3 and onwards, recording each
measurement in the chart below. (See sketch above: gray arrows)
- Measure the longest and widest points of your pool and record on the
chart, record the points where these measurements were taken from in the
chart.
- Measure the vertical distance (height) between the water level and the top of
the coping tile and record in chart.
- Draw a simple sketch and indicate the width of your paving around the
pool , anything less than half a meter (20") must be highlighted. Fill
any observations into the `Remarks` column in the chart or mention it in the
`Comments` below.
- Check your measurements, carefully
follow the steps above again verifying your measurements. Correct any
mistakes in the chart below. We will send you a Preview drawing to review
your measurements (this preview should reflect the
basic shape of your pool).
- Press the `Submit` button once to send the measurements to our system.
Print this
page and use printout for recording your measurements, then fill in the measurements
into the chart below, review and press the Submit
button.
