ABSTRACT:
An above-ground pool has a pool wall made up of a series of upright, adjoining wall panels situated in end-to-end relation along an endless path so that the panels surround a given space in which water for the pool may be located. A plurality of upright rods are situated between the adjoining panels. Each panel has opposed upright end edge regions, and at each end edge region each panel has a plurality of substantially rigid fastener portions distributed along each end edge region. These fastener portions include inner fastener portions and outer fastener portions which alternate in elevation with the inner fastener portions along each end edge region of each panel. The outer fastener portions respectively have inwardly directed surfaces directed inwardly toward the interior of the pool and respectively formed with aligned grooves receiving part of a rod, while the outer fastener portions respectively have outwardly directed surfaces directed away from the interior of the pool and respectively formed with aligned grooves also receiving part of the rod. Thus, the rod at each end edge region of each panel can be situated in or removed from the grooves only by being displaced substantially vertically with respect to an upright wal panel. The inner fastener portions at an end edge region of one panel are respectively at the same elevations as the outer fastener portions at an end edge region of an adjoining panel, so that each rod extends through interlocked fastener portions at the end edge regions of adjoining panels. By way of this construction the panels are held together to form a continuous pool wall.
