Reinforcing Swimming Pool Structures
Building for Strength and Longevity
A well-built swimming pool isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about durability and structural integrity. At Foley Pools, we prioritize reinforcement techniques that ensure your custom pool stands the test of time, even in the unpredictable North Texas soil conditions. Whether you’re building a new pool or upgrading an existing one, structural reinforcement plays a crucial role in protecting your investment.
Why Swimming Pool Reinforcement Matters
Texas soil is known for expansive clay and shifting ground, which can cause cracks, leaks, and long-term damage to pools that aren’t properly reinforced. By using advanced construction methods, we enhance stability, prevent structural failures, and extend the life of your pool.
How Foley Pools Reinforces Pool Structure
Our team at Foley Pools follows industry-leading reinforcement practices to build pools that remain strong for decades.
Steel Rebar Framework:
High-Strength Rebar Grid: We use steel rebar throughout the pool shell to create a solid foundation, preventing cracks and movement.
Strategic Placement: Rebar is positioned in a crisscross pattern, ensuring even weight distribution and reinforcement in stress-prone areas.
Shotcrete or Gunite Application:
Durable Concrete Shell: We apply high-quality shotcrete or gunite to encase the steel rebar, creating a dense, long-lasting pool structure.
Proper curing: The material is allowed to cure fully, maximizing strength and durability.
Piers for Stability (if applicable):
Support in Shifting Soil: In areas prone to soil movement, piers are added beneath the pool for extra support.
Prevents sinking and cracking: This ensures long-term stability, reducing the risk of future repairs.
Waterproofing and crack prevention:
Advanced Sealants: We use waterproofing techniques to protect against leaks and chemical erosion.
Control Joints: Designed to allow for minor expansion and contraction, preventing structural stress.
