Swimming pool

A swimming pool comprising:

• (a) side and bottom wall means formed of a flexible sheet metal which can be rolled to facilitate shipment and unrolled to form the side and bottom walls of a pool of a desired size and configuration;
• (b) end walls also formed of flexible sheet metal adapted to be sealably interconnected to said side and bottom wall means;
• (c) a flexible metal junction strip for interconnecting the end walls and said side and bottom walls means in a sealed manner, said strip having a longitudinal groove for receiving the side and bottom edges of said end walls and further comprising spaced parallel flanges extending inwardly of the pool, said flanges being spaced so as to freely receive the adjacent edges of said side and bottom wall means,
• (d) an elastomeric sealing strip driven or wedged into the space between said flanges unoccupied by said adjacent edges of said side and bottom wall means, whereby a water tight connection is maintained while simultaneously permitting a degree of movement of said side and bottom wall means relative to said junction strip and said end walls to accommodate earth movement, and
• (e) a flexible plastic cover strip secured to one of said flanges of each of said junction strips, with said cover strip having tapered, flexible ends extending into engagement with said end walls and said side and bottom walls means so as to seal said junction strip.
