few dobs of Silicon if you've got time to wait for it to set enough, but not too much that it's a bugger to peel off

Could you not just cut 2 vertical battens for each tile Dave, from the pool floor to the underside of the tile?

No it will be to tile all four walls around the pool upwards from 900 Bri

Raimondi do some wall levelling guides called maxi krik Krok. They go from 560 mm to 1000mm. They can be found on a website called kwiksplit. Hope that helps.

Just one tile down, apply gaffa tape to the one above, that would hold it till addy sets?

ping your datum on the walls and then "prop up" a straight egde with timber/plasterboard props etc....

or am i missing something?

Stick them on with Bal variset.. then your son only has to stand holding the tile in place for 5 mins at a time :lol:

How wide is the pool? You could ping line as lee suggests then brace each side with timber from one end to another spanning the width.... If not too wide!

Thanks lads i get the idea ! the idea's are starting to look like those guys who jump off the pier trying to fly once a year lol.......

Fill the pool to the line then float plastic batten stands lol

Cut a batten the length of the wall your tiling, then cut 2 or how ever many uprights you need to go up to this batten? seeeemples

In tricky situations like this I get the glue gun out. cant beat a few blobs all along my mdf battons. stays on the wall too not too high. covered by adhesive. strong as hell too.
