ABSTRACT:
A swimming pool deck is disclosed for construction with new swimming pool installations and with existing swimming pools. A concrete base is poured around the exterior wall of the swimming pool at or below the frost line and a plurality of vertical hollow columns are spaced in the concrete base. A plurality of X-shaped braces are spaced in the concrete base to join together connecting vertical walls which are positioned next to the exterior pool wall. Horizontal support rods extend from the vertical walls to the hollow columns. The area around the pool is back-filled to the proper level and reinforcing grates are connected to the horizontal support rods. A concrete deck is poured with some of the concrete filling the hollow columns.
The swimming pool deck fabrication method and apparatus of the invention employs straight-forward sequence of frame and pouring form erection without requiring skilled labor for any precisely dimensional excavation, leveling or the like. Moreover, the completed deck has internal mechanical integrity, and is relatively immune to displacement of the surrounding back-fill attributable to freezing, thaw, erosion or the like.
