SWIMMING POOL REINFORCING BAR

As a necessity for pool construction, making the right choice in reinforcement is critical. Although some builders may use regular reinforcing steel bar to build a concrete pool, it’s generally not recommended. As a swimming pool has distinctive requirements and must withstand extreme pressure, you need the resiliency and durability of a specially manufactured pool rebar.

Swimming pool rebar is essential when building a concrete pool to prevent the concrete from cracking once the pool is filled with water. It provides superior tensile strength and can withstand ground movement and pressure from the water within it because it’s so flexible.

Another reason for rebar’s popularity with swimming pool reinforcement is that it has similar expansion properties to concrete. So, as temperatures adjust and impact how the concrete expands and contracts, your swimming pool rebar does the same. This means less chance of cracking or being affected by the pressure of ground movement.

When laid for a pool framework, this steel rebar is arranged in a grid pattern. And thanks to its flexibility, this can be done to suit even the most innovative shapes and designs.

Although you won’t see the rebar at work once the concrete has been poured, it’s playing a vital role in your swimming pool. Thanks to the combination of concrete and this specialised steel, you’re guaranteed a pool with the highest tensile strength.
