Bottom Rail Placement

by DEAN TORINA
(CHESTERFILED, MI)

I have an older Doughboy above ground pool with a wood tone finish. It is a 16 x 32. It has 10 long bottom rails, 6 medium rails and 4 shorter ones. I am not sure where the different sizes go. Please let me know.

Hi Dean, Doughboy ovals use three different bottom rails. They are side rails, transition rails and end rails. They are stamped on the inside curve of the rail. The stamp will say S, TR and 16. The four transition rails go at the ends of the side braces, or the four corners of the pool. They transition the side of the pool into the end. So each end will have a transitions rail, 5 end rails and another transition rail.

Best of luck, Dennis
