RESIN BEADS
When resinous wood species
are autoclaved, the alternating
pressure and vacuum can cause
sticky resin residues to rise to the
surface. To remove them, scrape
them carefully with an appropriate
tool, being careful not to touch the
wood. Turpentine spirits could also
be effective, but could stain the
wood if too much is applied.
>>
SALT STAINS
Small green stains are frequently
found on the surface of autoclaved
wood. These can be removed
with light sanding. Otherwise, this
colour will disappear over time.
>> GREYING
Wood exposed to sunlight is
susceptible to greying. Some
people like the silvery sheen of
this natural patina. If, however, you
would prefer the wood to keep its
original colour with brown tones,
apply a protective coating (lazure,
oil) when the product is assembled.
>>
SPLITTING AND
CRACKING
Wood expands and contracts when
exposed to variations in humidity
and temperature. As it dries, wood
contracts unevenly resulting in
the appearance of cracks. While
these can seem to be cause for
concern, they have no impact on
the mechanical properties of the
product and therefore do not fall
within the scope of the guarantee.
>>
KNOTS
Knots mark the places where
branches were attached. The
quantity and size depends on
the species of wood and the
sorting process. For outdoor
installations, small adherent knots
are acceptable. The more stringent
the sorting process to limit the
number and size of knots, the more
expensive the wood will be.
>>
JOINED WOOD
To ensure the highest quality in the selection of our
wood, it is sorted meticulously before planing. Planks
that feature defects on both sides are taken out. Defects
(knots, cracks, flashes) are removed and the planks are
joined together (see the image above).
This is why it is not unusual to find joined elements in
a wooden pool, it in no way penalises the mechanical
properties of the wood. For the same reason, imperfections
on the interior surface of the pool (knots, cracks, flashes)
are entirely acceptable.
>>
SURFACE MOULD
Mould, caused by microscopic fungi, can grow on wood,
particularly on resinous species, on which the growth
can appear as «blueing». It is a surface phenomenon,
exacerbated by heat, humidity and inadequate aeration
and is characterised by stains raging from light to dark blue.
They can be removed by wiping the surface. Remember
that class IV treated wood is protected against attack
by fungi that could destroy the physical and mechanical
properties of the wood. For further information, please
refer to Procopi’s guarantees concerning the types of
wood and their treatment.
>>
COLOUR
VARIATIONS
Colour variations are common to
every species of wood. Treatment
brings them our because the depth
of penetration of the product will
depend on the wood density
and grain. Weathering of wood
outdoors will significantly attenuate
these colour variations.
WOOD,
A NATURAL MATERIAL.
Being a natural material, wood will have some imperfections. These are
normal and have no impact on the service life of the product.
A certain number are superficial and are not covered within the scope of
the guarantee.
CAUTION
storage. If you do not intend to assemble your pool immediately, you should store it without opening it in a well-
ventilated room, or failing this, in an area protected from humidity and sunlight. If, however, you were obliged to
unpack your pool, redo and restrap the pallet. Once the pallets are undone, the kit must be assembled within 24 to
48 hours.

>> RECTANGULAR POOLS
Storage:
If you do not intend to assemble your pool immediately, you should store it
properly.
You should:
wLeave the pallet intact (or redo the pallet if it has been opened for
handling).
wStore the pool in an area protected from water and sunlight.
The aim is to avoid any warping of the wooden elements that could impede
correct assembly. If the pool is to be stored, we also recommend that you
insert little wooden wedges between each layer of wood to allow air to
circulate freely.
An above-ground kit
The kit delivered is intended for installation above-ground. If the pool is to
be installed partially or entirely in-ground, additional measures will need to
be taken:
w If the ground is not level, dig into the slope, never backfill under the pool.
w Take care to ensure sufficient drainage adapted to the terrain around the
periphery of the concrete slab.
w Cover the portion of the wall that is underground with a protective layer of
foundation grade plastic film.
w For backfilling around the pool use stabilised sand (mortar 150 kg/m3).
(Supplies necessary to implement these measures are not included in the kit)
Safety:
wYour installation should comply with the standard C15-100. Notably, the
electrical supply of the pump should be protected by a 30mA differential
circuit breaker. (Wiring should be carried out by a qualified professional).
wThe kit provided will allow installation of the filtration system 3.5 m from the
pool, this is in line with pool safety standards.
We recommend that you secure access to the pool using one of the
protective measures set out in the pool safety standards NF P 90-306,
307, 308 & 309 that is: Barriers - Alarms - Safety covers - Shelters.
wChildren should only use the pool under the supervision of an adult.
wRemember to remove the exterior wooden ladder while the pool is not in
use to prevent unsupervised access to the pool.
wThis pool is intended for private use only.
wDo not install the pool beneath electrical wires.
>> FOREWORD
Congratulations on your purchase. We have taken great care with the design and
manufacture of your pool, nevertheless, some precautions should be taken to ensure
that it is used correctly. Please read these instructions very carefully before beginning
assembly of your pool and keep it for future reference.
This document applies to all 3 pool sizes.
A detailed nomenclature of the various components specific to your pool is enclosed
in the liner package.
Wood is a natural
material, cracks
may appear but
these do not alter
the technical
characteristics of the
wood.
Similarly, wood
exposed to sunlight
can change colour
over time.
CAUTION
wAfter installing
your pool, keep
these documents
(installation
instructions and
invoice) in a safe
place. You will
need them for
future exchanges
with our various
departments.

>> EXCAVATION & REBAR MESH
w After determining the ideal position for your pool, start with the
excavation required to accomodate the concrete slab that will form
the base of your pool. On fig. 1, identify those dimensions that
correspond to your pool.
w Never backfill under the pool to achieve a level surface, always dig
down so that your pool rests on a stable, level surface.
w Ensure that there is adequate peripheral drainage, especially if the
pool is to be installed in-ground.
w Seek the assistance of a professional if necessary.

Avoid siting your
pool beneath trees or
electrical lines.
Orient the pool such
that skimmers face
into prevailing winds.
>> EXCAVATION & REBAR MESH
w Note that the excavation is deeper around
the periphery in order to accommodate the
reinforcing metallic structure. (fig. 2)
By deepening the excavation around the edges
only, you minimise the total volume of concrete
required to pour the slab.
Figure 2
w The bottom of the excavation should be perfectly level
to facilitate installation of the metallic structure. (fig. 3)
(either add a layer of compacted gravel or pour a rough
layer of concrete).
w Lay a rebar mesh over this section (fig 3) .

>> ASSEMBLY OF THE METALLIC STRUCTURE
wThe metallic structure comprises posts joined together by flat bars at the top and
bottom (fig. 4). Observe how these parts overlap to ensure correct positioning of
the structure. The top links should be dismantled once the slab has been poured.
Figure 4
wAfter correctly positioning the first layer of rebar (fig 3), set out the metallic posts required
to assemble your pool (fig 8). Make sure that you fit them with jacks first (fig. 4). These posts
are joined together at the bottom with flat bars fastened by two screws (bag of screws A
and B fig. 4).
w
The distance between the each post is determined by the length of the flat bars.
w
The flat bars features 4 holes at each end.
w
The upper and lower connection bars are identical.
w
Around the base, the outer holes are used while the inner holes are used on bars
around the top of the structure. (fig 6).

Once the metallic structure has
been assembled, adjust the
position of the posts carefully
and check :
• that the posts are level, straight
and perfectly aligned.
• that the pool diagonals
measured at the axis of the
corner jacks are equal. (fig 8)
Figure 6
Take particular care
during this stage of
the assembly, it will
impact subsequent
phases and
determine the quality
of the pool finish.

wLay the top layer of rebar (second layer) over the entire surface of the excavation
before pouring the concrete.
wOnce laid, the metal trellis should cover the whole surface (lay the trellis such that it is
set 3 to 5 cm back from the edge around the entire periphery
). Some cutting around
the posts will be necessary (fig 9a.)
. Bars should be allowed to overlap and should be
connected together.
>> STRUCTURE
CAUTION
wOnce the
structure has
been assembled,
make sure that the
diagonals are equal
in length.
wCheck that the
posts are level and
straight.
wCheck that the
height is correct.
