Hello everyone. Just wondering what everyone is doing for bond beam specs on a 16x42 fiberglass pool? Manual is basic but states 1-2 feet if pavers are being used (which we have). So, 1-2 ft width but what about bond beam depth/thickness. I currently have a max of 9" wide (less in other areas)...

The concrete bond beam should alleviate any outside pressure from the shell and protect it. If the bond beam was poured to specs and the paver coping was properly adhered to the bond beam there's no way the cover/paver pressure could've pulled in on the shell from this point. Also, there's no...

water was about 2-3 inches higher at closing. Thinking the bulge occured and opened up the seals around the lights and jets and water level dropped. There were detected leaks around these areas but not the shell itself. The cover allows water to pass through and there was never any significant...

I agree. The paver joints around the anchors are intact with no cracks. All the paver issue is in front of the anchors on the pool side. There should be joints open on the back side of the paver that the achor is installed in if anchors were the issue. Also, the concrete bond beam should stop...
