Laying Protective Geotextile Padding - Mountfield IBIZA Montageanleitung

4.6 Laying protective geotextile
padding
The swimming pool should be installed in time or it
may collapse. If fast installation is impossible, e.g.
because of bad weather, we recommend that the
padding should not be used for the time being and
the swimming pool wall should be mechanically
secured against any strong wind.
The use of protective geotextile padding or a
protective paulin is recommended to protect the pool
liner against direct contact with the substrate and any
materials in it that might potentially damage the PVC.
Remember, however, that a protective geotextile pad
can only protect but not make for any surface
unevenness.
The substrate must be cleaned thoroughly before
laying the padding.
In some cases the padding has been cut already to
match that of the swimming pool. If the padding was
delivered in rolls, lay it in strips and fix with an
adhesive tape.
Cut the padding approximately 10 longer than the
swimming pool dimension and let it overreach around
the swimming pool wall to a height of some 5 cm.
Cuttings can be used for minor side areas. Draw the
overhanging edges over the bottom wall edge trims
and fix to the steel wall with an adhesive tape.
Smooth the padding and join the adjacent strip edges
together also with an adhesive tape.
