The innovation relates to a pool covering system that is usable as a flooring surface. The pool covering system includes brackets that support beams spanning the pool opening. The beams provide structural support to cross members and flooring placed on top of the beams. The pool covering system does not require significant drainage of the pool and does not damage the pool structure during installation and use.

Provided is a pool and/or spa cover leading edge kit for use with a pool and/or spa cover system. The kit includes at least two fiber reinforced polymer composite segments capable of being axially aligned and interconnected at their abutting ends with each fiber reinforced polymer composite segment having an axial length from 3 feet to 20 feet. The kit also includes at least one joiner capable of interconnecting together a pair of abutting axially aligned fiber reinforced polymer composite segments at their axial ends to form a segmented leading edge with an overall axial length of from 6 feet to 50 feet that is capable of being coupled to a pool and/or spa cover. The at least two fiber reinforced polymer composite segments of the segmented leading edge include at least one of continuous fibers or discontinuous fibers oriented at least partially in the axial direction.

A pool shell including a wall, a floor and a region of curvature running along a bottom of the wall and connecting the wall to the floor. A fastener-receiving formation, on an exterior of the region of curvature is for rigidly connecting the bottom to a support. Also discussed is a swimming pool including a pool shell, having a wall and two or more upright supports. The wall has a top, a bottom, a first elongate stiffening portion and an exterior. The upright supports are spaced along the exterior. The first elongate stiffening portion runs along the wall and is positioned more than 250 mm from each of the top and the bottom. Each of the upright supports are rigidly connected to the first elongate stiffening portion and at least one of the top and the bottom, and predominantly formed of elongate rigid members.

A fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) plate is disclosed and used in a zero edge pool embodiment according to this invention to permit grass to grow above the FRC plate while providing sufficient load-bearing strength to support the soil there-above to allow the growth of grass up to the water's edge.

A method of producing an in-situ molded concrete object includes positioning a form on a substrate. The form can include a leg portion, a face portion, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion can connect the leg portion to the face portion. The method includes coupling the leg portion to the substrate to create a container open on at least one side. The method also includes pouring concrete into the container. The frangible portion can be fractured to separate the face portion from the leg portion.

Swimming pool structure having at least one edge zone including a first surface which delimits and surrounds a main tank (MB) for water containment and at least one top wall designed to allow the passage of users from the external towards said tank (MB), said pool structure also including a water collection, filtering and recirculating circuit in the main tank (MB), in which said at least a top wail includes at least a respective segment inclined with respect to the horizontal and has at least an opening or groove or a structure such as to allow the passage of water through it so as to be conveyed towards said circuit.

A pool cover assembly includes a first encapsulation member defining a first side of a pool cover encapsulation, the first encapsulation member comprising a first mating feature. The pool cover assembly further includes a second encapsulation member defining a second side of the pool cover encapsulation, the second encapsulation member comprising a second mating feature. And the pool cover assembly further includes a corner endcap member comprising a third mating feature and a fourth mating feature. The first encapsulation member is coupleable to the corner endcap by the first mating feature and the third mating feature, and the second encapsulation member is coupleable to the corner endcap by the second mating feature and the fourth mating feature. The corner endcap member couples with the first encapsulation member and the second encapsulation member to form a corner of the pool cover encapsulation.
