Vinyl Works TUFF TP-24 User manual

1
Mount post brackets to vertical uprights of pool as shown (Figure 1). We
recommend that the brackets be mounted just beneath top rail to
maximi e strength of fence. Measure 1" down from top (Detail 1.2), center
post bracket plumb against pool post / upright and mark the location of
the top mounting screw (#14 x 1" screws with washers for extra strength).
Predrill 3/16” hole at mark for top screw. Mount bracket at top screw hole
(Detail 1.3) and repeat for bottom screw hole. Similarly, mount all brackets
around your pool. MAKE CERTAIN NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS AS
IT MAY CAUSE HOLES TO STRIP. Insert fence posts into brackets around
the pool making certain that the small screw holes in posts are facing
outwards (Detail 1.4). Predrill a 1/4" hole through the bracket and post and
secure using a 1/4 x 2" bolt and nut provided (Detail 1.5). Repeat for all
brackets and fence posts around your pool.

Determine the correct length of each fence section (Figure 2). The fence rails
are pre-designed for Tuff Pools support post centers but your pool
installation may vary slightly. Measure the distance between fence posts
(Detail 2.1). The end of each fence rail should protrude @ 5/8" inside each
fence post (Detail 2.2). Cut fence rails accordingly using either a hand or
power saw ONLY if required. Balance the distance from the last picket to the
fence post on both ends of the section so the final installation will look neat
(Detail 2.3). Tip: cut both fence rails together / at once so that the pickets will
be vertically plumb with the posts for a neat appearance. Away from your
pool, assemble complete fence section by fitting pickets into top & bottom
rails (all rails are alike). Fit section in place and balance each end so picket
spacing is equal. Measure, cut (if required) and assemble for the remaining
fence sections around your pool; each section may vary in length.

Secure ends of fence sections using the small #8 screws, caps and washers
provided (see Detail 5.1 & 5.2). Make certain that the screws catch the rails on
the inside of the posts. Failure to do so may result in a fence section coming
apart. For additional security, use a single screw through the top of post
opening into each rail end. Pre-drill a 1/8" pilot hole into the top of the rail, at
the edge of the post. This will not allow rails to pull out / away from posts.
Repeat for each post and section around the pool. Fit post caps onto each
post. Make certain that entire installation is secure.

Identify short three hole rails for corner sections. The rails are all
alike. As shown in Detail 3.1, the three hole rails have a short end
and a long end. The short end fits over the corner rail (Detail 3.2 &
3.3). Fit two short rails onto a corner rail. Pre-drill 1/8" pilot holes
and secure using two # 8 x 3/4 screws, caps and washers (Detail
3.4). Repeat for all short rails and corner rails - two sets per corner
section / four corners per pool

Every pool has four corner sections (Detail 4.1). Fit rail connectors
into rail cut-out in corner fence posts. Note that the connectors
have a flat edge; the flat edge always goes to the center of fence
rails (Detail 4.2 - 4.4). Fit connectors into each of the eight corner
posts, both for top and bottom rails. With short rails and corner
rails attached (from Step 3 above), fit pickets and assemble corner
sections. Install corner sections fitting rail ends over connectors
within posts (Detail 4.5). Make certain corner sections are balanced
and fence pickets are plumb with fence posts
