ABSTRACT:
An improved swimming pool construction of the kind capable of being erected, at least substantially, above ground on a substantially flat surface is provided. The swimming pool is of a construction whose modular components are prefabricated and delivered to the building site for assembly. A bracing member comprised of four cut pieces of standard construction lumber, and provided in pre-assembled modular form, provides load bearing qualities that afford sufficient strength without the need to supply any additional support means that are anchored in the ground. The swimming pool is fabricated from a plurality of wall panels that are secured end-to-end and form the periphery of the swimming pool and contain integrally formed flanges that retain the brace in position. The prefabricated pool delivered to the building site as a package, employs an arrangement of modular elements to provide a self standing swimming pool that can be assembled, using only hand tools to lock together the respective modular parts. The modular brace which integrates the entire swimming pool performs the triple function of affording strengthening means to resist buckling of the wall panels from water pressure, supports a deck and is used to secure a screening/protective fence surrounding the periphery and above the top of the swimming pool wall.
