Concrete Requirements Table:
The following table describes the amount of concrete required in yards for Freeform Metric Pools.
Add an additional 2.5 yards if thermoplastic walk-in step is included.
Pool Interior
Check with local building codes before installing your Radiant Metric Freeform pool inground. Radiant Pools
requires a minimum of 8” concrete collar around the entire pool if any point of the pool wall is 26” or
greater in the ground (
fig. 2). An example of a semi-inground pool requiring a concrete collar is shown
below
(fig.1).
When installing an inground thermoplastic walk-in step, add 2.5 yards of concrete to the ‘
Concrete
Requirements table
’ for the concrete around the step and A-frames (
fig.3
).
Do not pour concrete directly on the pool walls. Pour concrete away from the wall and let it flow to the wall.
