What is a pool bay?

Pool Cove or Coving, as it is commonly called, can be found on above -ground pools around the world. The above -ground pool is built with a very thin and flexible outer wall that contains insert and water. The outer wall is supported by a pool bay, which is usually a thin aluminum channel that leads from the ground to the top of the pool and around the upper edge of the pool wall. Made of a slightly wider pool bay, the upper edge not only creates a structure that prevents the collapse or bulge of the pool wall, but also provides a more comfortable edge on which the entrance is and gets into the pool. Once the pool bay is in place, the wall of the pool can stand in the position, placed against the bay and locked at the site by installing the upper rail or edge. Pool Cove works similarly to the skeleton, giving the wall of the pool much needed support and strength. Without a pool bay, the pool would not have any structural power and would probably collapse when it was filled with water.

The real wall of the pool is not much stronger than the pool insert. If not for the pool bay surrounding the upper edge of the pool, it would be unpleasant to rest over the upper edge of the pool. Cove is also used as a safety device. Another very critical function of Coving is to secure the insert inside the pool wall. The insert is sandwiched between the pool wall and the vertical conjunction of the channels and locked in a place that surrounds the upper edge of the pool wall.

strength, comfort, insert integrity and security are all pool functions. The above -ground pool relies on Coving for much more than aesthetics. The alocolo of the outer perimeter of the pool is built by the uminum channels and provides support for the insert and the walls of the pool. While Coving protects the wall from swallowing when it is filled with water, it cannot protect the wall from bulging for ice. In a cold climate, it is recommended that the pool be released from half the water, protecting the pool from the expanding ice to damage the pool.
