Abstract: An in-ground trampoline includes a plurality of walls designed to be connected together to act as a frame for the trampoline as well as act as a retaining wall for the hole the trampoline is located within. The walls are placed within the hole so a bounce mat of the trampoline is substantially flush with the ground. The walls receive springs that secure to the bounce mat and support the bounce mat at the appropriate height. The walls receive safety pads that will cover the upper edge of the walls and the springs for safety. The hole, interior to the walls, has a seepage pit formed therein for drainage. The hole may be deeper interior to the walls and the seepage pit may be located therewithin. The walls include lower platforms that extend outward and the lower platforms are backfilled over to provide support for the walls.

Abstract: Application of a resin to a pool surface to provide a colored finish that is ultraviolet resistant. The resin may be a powder that can be melted at a fairly low temperature and applied to the pool surface. A first later of resin may be applied to an epoxy layer that is applied to the pool surface to provide better adhesion while the epoxy is still tacky (hot-flocking). The hot-flocking causes the resin and the epoxy to blend into a single layer. An additional layer of resin may be applied after the epoxy and the first layer of resin fully cured. After the second layer of resin has cured an additional layer may be applied to provide designs and/or markings. The designs/markings may be produced with tape and/or stencils and the next layer may be applied to the non-covered areas to provide the desired look.

Abstract: Application of a resin to a pool surface to provide a colored finish that is ultraviolet resistant. The resin may be a powder that can be melted at a fairly low temperature and applied to the pool surface. A first later of resin may be applied (thermally sprayed) to an epoxy layer that is applied to the pool surface after the epoxy has become tacky and before it has cured to provide better adhesion and cause the resin and the epoxy to blend into a single layer. An additional layer of resin may be applied after the epoxy and the first layer of resin fully cured. After the second layer of resin has cured an additional layer may be applied to provide designs and/or markings. The designs/markings may be produced with tape and/or stencils and the next layer may be applied to the non-covered areas to provide the desired look.

Abstract: An underwater illumination system for use in a pool is disclosed. The system includes a light source, which is recessed within a wall of the pool. The light source has a light emitting face which is directed at a downward angle, into the pool.
