I've just had a fiberglass 28'x14' pool installed with an automatic pool cover brand (AutoGuard Under Track System | Automatic Pool Covers) auto cover.
The pool builder also installed a fiberglass container to hold the pool cover and mechanisms, however they provide no support beyond that. We are awaiting the actual cover and some brackets they called Atlas brackets (I think https://automaticpoolcoversnewengla.../2017/11/atlas-lid-bracket-specifications.pdf), not sure the spacing yet, they mentioned maybe 15" spacing between brackets but it's up to us how to put them to support whatever.
So my question for everyone is what's the best way to support coping + bricks on top whilst still being able to remove it for servicing/repairs?
I've seen coverstar has these walk on lid trays that look interesting (Coverstar Lid Tray Walk-On with Mesh 24" Long x 17-3/4" Lip Side | A0230) that may do the trick however it'll be at least a month to order + it's pretty expensive too, and may not fit our brackets (still waiting on them).
We are doing bullnose coping stones - barolla round edge (Best Way Stone) and techobloc blu 60mm pavers on top.
My landscaper was thinking of doing plywood on top of the atlas brackets, but I think that won't be good with the water. I was looking at maybe some Aluminum Sheets 24"x24" maybe GA22, do you guys think that would hold all the bricks on top? I'm worried maybe I'm underengineering it and it won't hold people's weight.
Any ideas?
