Build it yourself pool kits
Our do it yourself steel or polymer swimming pool kits include the same
basic swimming pool equipment, Hayward pump, sand filter, skimmer and return system, main drains, removable
ladder, walk-in steps, maintenance equipment and a vinyl liner. The steel swimming pool kits and the polymer swimming pool kits have similar upgrade
options, swimout options and accessory options. Our Megna steel pool kit and Hydra polymer pool kit offer upgrade options that are unique to each pool kit because they ship from different warehouses. Is a steel pool kit or a polymer pool kit better? The only difference in the steel and polymer swimming pool kits is the
wall panels and swimming pool wall braces. Both swimming pool kits have their advantages. Both have a lifetime warranty.
Steel is stronger. Polymer is lighter. Steel will not crack or break. Polymer
will not bend. Steel is best for rocky soil or clay. Polymer may be best
for acidic soil although acidic soil can break down resin over time. Steel
swimming pool kits are strong enough that they require less braces. Polymer
swimming pool kits include deck support braces that are optional on a steel
kit. Steel kits usually only need deck supports if you are using brick
or stone coping or if the pool us being installed in the side of a big
slope like a mountain or hillside. Polymer swimming pool kits do not need
wall foam. Polymer swimming pool kits may need gravel as a backfill, steel
kits are strong enough to backfill with the excavated dirt.
Steel wall swimming pool kits
Megna swimming pools are manufactured from top quality North American 14 gage steel with a
zinc galvanized coating
for lifetime warranty protection. Standard panels are designed and manufactured
for maximum strength and durability. The straight wall panels and the radius
corner panels have a 5" top, bottom and side flange. The radius pool
Megna panels use a channel stiffener with a 2" top and bottom flange. Megna swimming pool kits offer a wide selection of support systems and A-frame braces that are
the toughest in the industry. Megna swimming pools feature ALPS pool steps, Super Clear filters, Hayward pumps and equipment. The Megna pools are
also available with Cardinal Novelle polymer pool wall panels. Steel kits
include wall foam padding with heavy duty spray adhesive. All steel panels
are pre-cut for skimmers or pool lights as per your swimming pool order.
Polymer wall swimming pool kits
Hydra polymer swimming
pools panels are molded to exacting specifications based on thorough
research and engineering. Each of the panels have uniform rigidity, flatness
and strength derived from the strategic placement of ribs. These panels are the most resistant to all types of
underground deterioration, including heat and cold, yet they are surprising
light weight for easy installation. Hydra pool panels have cutouts for
skimmers and lights. Hydra Pools alignment coping encapsulates the entire
top surface of the pool wall panels providing precise alignment. The Hydra
brace deck support bracing is designed to transfer deck weight loading
to vertical wall and anchor stake and the stake-lok assures positive leveling,
locking and swimming pool wall alignment. The Hydra polymer swimming pool
includes nylon bolts for rust free fastening. The Hydra swimming pool kits
include Hydra pool step options and feature the aqua genie pool circulation system.
The Cardinal Novelle polymer swimming
pool is made using technologies that have enabled structural
engineers to produce a polymer swimming pool wall that is truly an engineering
marvel. The end result is that the Cardinal Novelle polymer swimming pool
components represent state of the art in design, material and construction. Our
swimming pool panels meet the environmental demands exerted on it. Factors such as freezing, thawing and unstable soil conditions
all must be considered in swimming pool design. To meet these demands,
our swimming pool panel utilizes the time tested parabolic arch for
strengthening swimming pool panel sections. Examples of the parabolic
arch can be seen in buildings and bridge construction and most notably in the
St. Louis Gateway Arch. The arch design is applied to the strengthening
features of our polymer swimming pool panel. Through detailed computer
analysis, the concept of intersecting parabolic support arches increases the
panel strength significantly.
