Wall material
The main material used in the construction of the pool. Usually, the material of the walls is indicated in this paragraph. They are usually made of various polymeric materials — for example, PVC or vinyl.
The quality, reliability and durability of the pool directly depends on the material of the walls. However, it should be borne in mind here that the same material can be presented on the market in several varieties. In addition, various additional tricks can be used in the design — for example, multilayer walls. Therefore, it is worth evaluating the quality of the pool not so much by the claimed material, but by the general price category of the product (compared to models of a similar volume and functionality).
Wall thickness
Pool wall thickness.
This parameter is specified exclusively for products of the so-called sheet (sectional) design. The basis of such a pool consists of sheets of metal or plastic, which are interconnected into a single structure; inside this structure, a sheath of PVC film is stretched. Such a design is noticeably more expensive than a rod one (a shell on a frame in the form of a set of separate racks and crossbars), but its strength and reliability are much higher; we note that all-weather instilled pools (see above) are usually made exactly sheet.
Actually, the wall thickness is the thickness of the metal or plastic sheets that form the basis of such a product. In modern products, it usually ranges from 0.35 to 0.8 mm. In general, the greater the thickness, the stronger and more reliable the walls; however, when choosing, it is worth considering not only this parameter, but also the material from which the frame sheets are made: metal is generally stronger, and it requires less thickness than plastic.
