When measuring a liner with the Trigonon, we strongly recommend chalking the pool before you begin measuring.<\/p>\n
The reason is simple: after the pool outline is completed, almost every additional measurement references those original outline points. If you cannot return to the EXACT same point you originally measured from, your measurements can become inconsistent and less accurate.<\/p>\n
Taking the time to properly chalk the pool creates permanent reference points throughout the measuring process and helps ensure the highest accuracy possible.<\/p>\n
Whenever possible, begin your outline near the AB points.<\/p>\n
Closer shots are easier and typically more accurate, especially during the beginning of the measuring process.<\/p>\n
If the pool has a feature that prevents you from walking completely around the pool outline, plan your outline so that you START and END at that feature.<\/p>\n
Examples may include:<\/p>\n
This helps avoid difficult transitions later in the measurement.<\/p>\n
Always move around the pool in a counter clockwise direction when creating the outline.<\/p>\n
This is important because:<\/p>\n
Consistency is critical.<\/p>\n
Any location where the pool changes direction should have a chalk point.<\/p>\n
Examples include:<\/p>\n
These points define the true shape of the pool.<\/p>\n
On straight walls, place chalk marks approximately every 3 feet.<\/p>\n
Straight sections generally require fewer points because the shape does not change significantly between measurements.<\/p>\n
On curves and radius sections, place points closer together.<\/p>\n
The tighter the curve, the closer the points should be.
\nMore points create a more accurate representation of the pool shape.<\/p>\n
For steps, you should mark:<\/p>\n
The more clearly the step geometry is defined, the better the final liner fit will be.<\/p>\n
For benches, swim-outs, tanning ledges, and other in-water features, mark:<\/p>\n
These features are often overlooked but are important for liner accuracy.<\/p>\n
In the deep end, make sure to place points where slope measurements will be taken.<\/p>\n
This is especially important around:<\/p>\n
These reference points help maintain proper floor geometry.<\/p>\n
As you chalk the pool, think about the overall:<\/p>\n
Make sure you have points located at these key reference distances.<\/p>\n
These points can be extremely helpful later when:<\/p>\n
Good chalking creates the foundation for an accurate liner measurement.<\/p>\n
A few extra minutes spent properly marking the pool can:<\/p>\n
When in doubt, add more reference points. It is always easier to ignore an extra point than it is to recreate a missing one later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
