Timber board set out video below.

Joist layout and placement details:

  • Critical joist placement
  • 5mm gap between boards is essential otherwise they will not lift
  • Measure your 4 boards from back of the coping
  • In this case, workout the 4th board placement( from the back of the coping) and the back side joist set placement
  • Measure 410mm back towards the pool, from the inside to inside 140mm joists. This will give you the placement of the poolside joist set
  • Use the decking board set out to help guide you on the backside joist set
  • Once you have fixed the timber lifting lid down to 3 x hinges, add 45mm x 45mm x 3mm aluminium right angle to the centre of the under side of the timber board
  • If you are unsure, please call Justin 02102332600 or email info@poolsolarheating.co.nz
