I don't have a scanner, so you'll have to do with a description.

Material needed:
4 pc. 3/4" x 162" PVC Pipe
(to make bows to hold visqueen in the dome shape)
8 pc. 3/4" PVC "T"'s (to attach bows to PVC ring that circles the side of the 12' dia pool)
8 pc. 3/4" x 57" PVC Pipe (to make ring around pool)
1 pc. 20' x 20' 6 mil Poylethylene dome cover
Nylon String (to tie around bottom of pool on the outside of the dome cover)

This is a material list for a 3' tall by 12' diameter pool.

Fasten the 162" PVC pieces together where they cross at the center with #12 copper wire. To do that, once they are in position, drill a 3/16" hole thru all the pieces and use the copper wire.

They also say fasten 3 vertical struts to the pool side with copper wire.

The 6 mil plastic overhangs the pool sides all the way to the ground, and out for a ways. You tie the plastic around the pool at the bottom with the nylon string. Then you cover the plastic that is on the ground with a circle of 8" thick sand. That's the reason for the door in the dome - the cover isn't removed or lifted off for access to the pool.

The door frame is a trapezoid made from 3/4" thick by 2 1/2" wide material. The top is 35" wide, the bottom is 57" wide. It is 29" tall, and the sides are at a 22 1/2° out from the top to bottom. The frame is attached to 2 of the dome struts. They show #6x3/4" FH screws (2) in each corner holding the frame together. They don't specify how the frame is attached to the dome struts. The plastic door is attached to the frame by using 4 equidistant snaps on the top, 5 on the bottom, and 3 on each side.

Clear as mud?? grin

If you don't have the book, you really, really need to buy it. It will save you more $$ than the book costs in less than a month.
