STEPS AND ODD SHAPES NEED THEIR OWN RECORD
Split the shape
For an L-shaped pool, divide the shape into 
separate rectangular sections.
Record steps
Measure steps separately and note their exact 
position.
Show the exceptions
For curves, attached spas, or unusual edges, 
add clear photographs.
Trace the footprint
A rope or string outline can help show the 
maximum footprint of an irregular pool.
