Steel rebar is placed throughout your pool on a steel grid pattern. The steel reinforces the tensile strength of your pool’s concrete shell. Our steel specifications will be developed and engineered for your particular pool, in your particular soil and with the unique load and stress of your pool design. We use ½” (#4) rebar throughout the pool along with a 4-bar box beam.
Our one-pool-at-a-time engineering generates steel plans that will have grid patterns that are typically 8”-10” apart. Under boulders, near the patio or fences, and in other stress areas, we will place additional steel transition bars to provide extra support.
