THINGS TO CONSIDER
WHEN PLANNING
YOUR POOL
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WILL USE THE POOL
Will it be for recreation, exercise, entertaining or some combination of all of these? If you have a general idea of your
intended use of the pool, it can help you work through the
design process.
KEEP MAINTENANCE IN MIND
Different types of pools require different levels of maintenance. Some, like vinyl liner pools, are relatively simple to
maintain. It can take just a few minutes a week to check water
and chemical levels.
KNOW YOUR BACKYARD
If you live on the side of a cliff with a steep grade and little
or no access for construction vehicles, then you may run
into some problems! If you have a tiny backyard but want an
Olympic-sized pool, it may not be possible. But for the most
part, pool builders are very talented and creative when it
comes to designing pools to fit in tight or awkward spaces.
DISCUSS DOLLARS AND SENSE
Swimming pools can be expensive upfront, but the investment
is worth it in the end and the enhanced backyard environment
can add to the value of your home. Remember that you can
often obtain financing and stretch your payments out over a
longer term – often a monthly pool payment can be lower
than a monthly car payment! Talk with your builder about what financing options are available. Also, maybe you don’t have the funds to do
a huge water feature or lighting system right now. But if you think you
might want it in the future, tell your builder. It’s much easier to plan
for future plumbing and electrical needs upfront and work them into
the design than to try and go backwards later on.

More Creative.
Less Cookie-Cutter.
figure 8
Think about how your pool will be used. If you’re
looking for fitness and exercise and have limited
space, maybe a Lap Pool is just the ticket, or a
48'' deep sport pool.
If you want to use your pool as an entertainment
centerpiece, maybe a larger Rectangle or True-L
shape will work best. Want to invoke a more
natural scene in your yard? Go for a Lagoon,
Mountain Lake, Riviera or San Luis Rey design.
Take a look at the variety of standard shapes
available from Fort Wayne Pools, or dream up
your own, then visit your local Strong Support
dealer to turn your ideas into reality.

Getting Building Permits is easier
with Fort Wayne Pools
We are the only packaged pool manufacturer to receive
ICC-ES Certification of its products. What is ICC-ES?
International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES)
ensures that building products meet code requirements.
Building inspectors and engineers look to the ICC-ES evaluation reports for
evidence that the products and systems are code-com pliant
— and can receive a standardized branded pool blueprint coded with ICC-ES
report number, stamped and signed by a licensed engineer. Inspectors’ #1 choice
for approving building codes are ICC-ES certified products*.
*Final permit approval is up to the discretion of each individual municipality’s code official.

Building your Dream Pool
from the Bottom Up
More Wall.
More Strength.
Factory engineered, the steel wall pool panel is made
of corrosion-resistant steel and its strength is unparalleled. Add a five inch flange top and bottom and our
“Z’’ support ribs and you won’t find a stronger steel
panel. In fact, we’re so confident of that strength,
we offer a one-time transferable, lifetime limited
warranty on the pool wall structure.
PAGE

A wall of strength
The wall panels and braces make up the primary components of the sterling pool wall system. The design of the wall panels, in addition to the steel
material itself, contributes to that durability. Our pool system is engineered
so that all the components fit together perfectly.
Braces for Support
Supporting the panels and your decking are the braces. Steel braces are
attached directly to the wall panels for maximum support. These braces
ensure that your pool retains its shape and optional deck supports prevent
your deck from settling.
More Options for More Fun
If you’d like a deeper shallow end in your pool, ask your Strong Support
builder about our Fort Wayne Pools 48” steel wall panels. They’re the
perfect solution for more water depth in the shallow end and are great for
sport or recreation pools.

SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: A number of very important items
that are essential for the safe use of your pool may
not be visible in many of the photographs, either
because of perspective or camera angle, or because
they were removed for photographic purposes. These
items include; but are not limited to:
1. S afety ropes, which should remain in place at all
times;
2. “ No Diving” signs, which are provided and should
be installed in accordance with instructions
included on the coping or liner, where they are
clearly visible;
n area sign is provided and must be permanently
3. A
and conspicuously affixed in the pool area where
all users can see it;
4. N
ecessary means of exit and entry into the pool;
5. F encing with a self-latching gate, and other barriers
that can assist in preventing unsupervised access
to the pool by children;
6. A
pproved drain covers and other devices to
protect against suction entrapment;
7. M
inimum required inlets and returns to ensure
proper water circulation;
ppropriate inpool lighting if the pool will be used
8. A
after dark.
All of these devices should be installed in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions, ANSI/NSPI or ANSI/
APSP or ANSI/APSP/ICC standards, as well as state
and local statutes and codes.
Diving boards and slides require minimum depths
and distances and must only be installed and used in
strict compliance with the equipment manufacturer’s
specifications and ANSI/NSPI or ANSI/APSP or ANSI/
APSP/ICC standards. If the pool is labeled by us as
NON-DIVING, then diving equipment may not be
installed and any such equipment must be removed
before the pool is used.
Smart pool owners always think safety first. They take
specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and
guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible
use of their pool. They also:
• ensure that their pool is never used unless there is
adequate supervision;
• ensure that their pool is kept in good repair and is
not used when there is a missing or broken drain
cover or other component;
• ensure that ALL CHILDREN using their pool
are supervised constantly;
• t hat anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or stimulants that would impair their abilities or
judgement does not use the pool;
• ensure that their pool is protected by appropriate
barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing
with self latching gates, covers, alarms, etc.
To assist you, a number of very important items of
safety literature are included with each pool liner and
also available upon request. We must insist that you
read each item carefully and follow its instructions.
These are:
• Pool Owners Safety Handbook
• APSP “Sensible Way” Book
• Vinyl Swimming Pool Liner–Warranty
• “Children Aren’t Waterproof” Book
• “No Diving” Label
• Area Sign
Make sure your builder supplies you with all of the
safety information that accompanies your pool and
installs the enclosed warning stickers and area sign
where they can be clearly visible to all who use the
pool.
