Abstract: A non-corrosive swimming pool structure for erection above or below ground level. The swimming pool structure includes wall sections, braces, stakes, fasteners for connecting the wall sections together and the braces to the wall sections, and fasteners for securing the stakes to the braces, all of which are made of a non-corrosive material, for example structural foam, whereby the entire swimming pool structure is essentially non-corrosive. The swimming pool structure incorporates a unique method by which the wall sections and braces are easily assembled and secured together utilizing fasteners of a "quick-connect" type thereby eliminating all of the disadvantages of the conventional assemblies using nut and bolt fasteners. Each brace has a stake guide adjacent the wall section and a stake guide remote from the wall section.

Abstract: A method for erecting a swimming pool structure. The swimming pool structure includes wall sections, braces therefore, aligning stakes, and fasteners all of a non-corrosive material which when assembled eliminates the disadvantages normally associated with conventional assemblies using nut and bolt fasteners. The method preparing a swimming pool bottom, securing a plurality of wall sections together, attaching a plurality of braces having integral stake guides to the wall sections at spaced intervals, placing stakes in the stake guides, properly positioning the wall sections as desired with regard to the pool bottom, driving the stakes into the ground, aligning the wall sections with regard to both altitude and attitude, and securing the stakes to the braces. The wall sections and braces of the pool structure also provide support for the coping and deck of the completed swimming pool.
