Abstract: A modular pool system including a plurality of pivotally connected panels disposed side end to side end defining an enclosed pool perimeter wall. The panels are pivotable with respect to each other to form a pool perimeter wall configuration. A pool liner is secured to the pool perimeter wall for retaining water within the pool perimeter wall.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fence system including a top rail and bottom rail spaced from each other and having opposing ends. A plurality of spaced elongate members extends between the top and bottom rails, adjacent elongate members of the plurality of elongate members defining a space therebetween. A plurality of boards is provided with one of the plurality of boards being disposed in the spaces formed by the elongate members. The plurality of boards includes opposed side edges. A pair of posts are spaced from one another and securable to the ends of the top and bottom rail. The posts each include a peripheral wall defining a post interior. The peripheral wall having a first and second rail opening formed therein for receiving the ends of the top and bottom rail respectively. The ends of the top and bottom rails extend into the post interior. The peripheral wall further including a slot formed therein.

Abstract: A frame for portable above-ground swimming pools and, more particularly, a frame for above-ground swimming pools having a top rail, formed in sections, that is pivotally attached to the frame vertical supports. Each top rail section is installed at the top of the vertical supports in a vertical position that is about 90° from a horizontal axis, allowing access to the interior area of the pool frame for installation and attachment of the sheet metal swimming pool wall. Once the top rails sections are assembled, the frame is free-standing and the pool wall may be installed and attached to the frame without partial disassembly of the frame or removal and replacement of the top rail sections. Once the swimming pool wall and liner are installed, the top rail sections are rotated 90° along the horizontal axis, securing the wall and liner, and are locked into place. The invention further provides a method for installing an above-ground swimming pool in the sequential steps described above.
