STEP 1

Determine the pool depth at the four corners where the steps will touch the pool floor. ALWAYS MEASURE WHEN THE POOL SURFACE IS CALM.

MEASUREMENTS: Use one tape measure to measure the distance from the wall and one to measure the pool water depth. Measurements must be done vertically and accurately.

Measurement A (mm)

A/B SIDE (LEFT side when you are facing the pool.) A – Measure 300mm out from the pool wall then measure from the pool floor to the water level.

Measurement B (mm)

B – From the same location as “A” measure 800mm out from the pool wall then measure from the pool floor to the water level.

Measurement C (mm)

C AND D ARE 700MM APART ALONG THE WALL FROM A AND B (WIDTH OF POOL STEPS). C/D SIDE (RIGHT side when you are facing the pool.) C – Measure 300mm out from the pool wall then measure from the pool floor to the water level.

Measurement D (mm)

D – From the same location as “C” measure 800mm out from the pool wall then measure from the pool floor to the water level.

STEP 2

ALWAYS MEASURE WHEN THE POOL SURFACE IS CALM.

PLEASE NOTE: This does not have to be completed if the pool wall and floor meet at 90° angle (sharp corner, not curved).

This diagram will allow us to determine the shape of the pool floor so that the Platypus Pool Steps match the shape of the bottom on the pool.

INSTRUCTIONS

One at a time, measure the below increments out from the pool wall, then measure from that point to the pool bottom and fill in the above table. Measurements must be done vertically and accurately.

A = Commencement of curve at wall
B = 50mm from the pool wall
C = 100mm from the pool wall
D = 150mm from the pool wall
E = 200mm from the pool wall
F = 250mm from the pool wall
G = 300mm from the pool wall
H = 800mm from the pool wall

Example: Measure along the water surface 50mm from the pool wall into the pool, from there measure vertically from the water level to the base of the pool – this is measurement B.

Where your pool wall and floor meet is it a 90° angle or curved?

90° sharp angle

Curved

Measurements are only required if you select curved.

STEP 3 - POOL PROFILE

This will allow us to determine the deck profile including how far above the water level the deck is. There are many different deck configurations, please select the appropriate figure for your pool and measure accordingly. If your deck configuration is not shown, please draw a diagram and identify all of the appropriate measurements.
