Abstract
A modular swimming pool includes a precast base unit and a precast riser unit that can be assembled at an installation site to define an interior volume in which a human can swim. The precast riser unit is secured to the base unit. The upper surface of the precast base unit and at least one internal surface of the precast riser unit define the interior volume of the modular pool when the precast base unit and the precast riser unit are secured together. A modular swimming pool assembly is also provided. A method of assembling a modular swimming pool is also provided.
Claims20
A modular swimming pool comprising:
- a precast base unit including an uneven stepped surface having a first surface having a first height and a second surface having a second height greater than the first height, the first surface extending to a perimeter of the precast base unit;
- a precast riser unit separate from the precast base unit and secured to the precast base unit, the precast riser unit including at least two connecting sidewall portions, at least one internal surface, an open upper end, and a lower surface configured to engage and align with the precast base unit so the lower surface of the precast riser unit and the first surface of the precast base unit are in facing engagement at the perimeter of the precast base unit;
- and
- at least one precast internal structure that is separate from the precast base unit and the precast riser unit,
- wherein the precast base unit and the at least one internal surface of the precast riser unit define an interior of the pool when the precast base unit and the precast riser unit are secured together, and
- wherein the at least one precast internal structure is configured to be arranged within the interior of the pool as desired by a user.
A method of assembling a modular swimming pool, the modular swimming pool including a precast base unit having an upper surface and an uneven stepped surface, a precast riser unit securable to the precast base unit, the precast riser unit being separate from the precast base unit, the precast riser unit including at least two connecting sidewall portions, at least one internal surface and a recess configured to engage and align with the corresponding uneven stepped surface of the precast base unit, the upper surface of the precast base unit and the at least one internal surface of the precast riser unit defining an interior of the pool when the precast base unit and the precast riser unit are secured together, and the modular swimming pool further including at least one precast internal structure that is separate from the precast base unit and the precast riser unit and is configured to be arranged within the interior of the pool as desired by a user, the method comprising:
- delivering the precast base unit, and the precast riser unit, and the at least one precast internal structure to an installation site;
- positioning the precast base unit at the installation site;
- securing the precast riser unit to the precast base unit so that the precast base unit and the precast riser unit define the interior of the modular swimming pool;
- and
- positioning the at least one precast internal structure within the interior of the pool.
A method of assembling a modular swimming pool, the modular swimming pool including a precast base unit having an upper surface, a precast riser unit secured to the base, the precast riser unit including at least two connecting sidewall portions, having at least one internal surface, the upper surface of the precast base unit and the at least one internal surface of defining an interior of the pool when the precast base unit and the precast riser unit are secured together, the method comprising:
- delivering the precast base unit and the precast riser unit to an installation site as separate precast components;
- positioning the precast base unit at the installation site;
- and
- subsequently securing the precast riser unit to the precast base unit so that an upper surface of the precast base unit and at least one internal surface of the precast riser unit define the interior of the modular swimming pool.
