Made in USA EMT Rail Anchoring for Pool Domes
Installation guide for grass, dirt, or pavers
A Rail-Based Anchoring Option
This alternate system uses a 1-inch EMT rail to support the dome anchoring points over grass, dirt, or pavers. The overview diagram shows the special anchors set in concrete piers beneath the rail.

Method 1: Eyebolt and Ring
-
1. Open the Eyebolt and Add the Ring
Use a large vise for this procedure.
Place the eyebolt in the vise without damaging the threads on its shank.
Use a large screwdriver to spread the eye until the ring slips into the opening.
Use a hammer to tap the eye closed with the ring inside.
-
2. Fit the Ring to the EMT Rail
Use an eyebolt ring with an inside diameter of at least 1-1/2"; 2" is preferred.
When using a 1-1/2" ring, attach it to the eyebolt, return the ring to the vise, and apply enough pressure to form an oblong opening.
This creates enough room for the ring and eyebolt to fit on a 1" EMT pipe.
-
3. Secure the Dome Cable
Space the eyebolts with rings no more than 6' apart.
Attach the dome cable to the tube at approximately 3' intervals.
Use wire-ties (cable ties) at least 1/4" in width (1/2" is best) and double them up at each location as shown.
Method 2: Large Cable Ties
-
1. Attach the Eyebolt
For a faster, simpler installation, use a large tie to secure the eyebolt to the 1" EMT tubing.
Space the eyebolts with rings no more than 6' apart.
-
2. Secure the Dome Cable
Secure the exposed cable in the dome hem to the EMT rail with large ties. These 1/2"-wide ties have a test rating above 200 lb.
