Custom Dome Measuring Instructions

Watch the A-B measuring method, then use the diagrams below to record each dimension.

Before You Measure

  • Work clockwise around the pool.
  • Place points #1 and #2 as far apart as possible.
  • Keep the dome edge at least 6 inches inside the concrete edge to avoid fracturing when drilling the anchor holes.

Have ready: a 100-foot tape measure, an assistant, an indelible marker, and your form and clipboard.
