Abstract
A swimming pool is provided with side walls made up of a plurality of panels each embodying upper and lower receptor beams in the form of oppositely facing channels supporting the upper and lower horizontal edges of plywood sheets, with bracing members located between the vertical edges of the plywood sheets and secured at their upper and lower ends to the receptor beams so as to support each sheet about the entire peripheral edges thereof. The panels are secured together in selected arrangements by fasteners and splice plates at the adjacent ends thereof to establish a unitary structure of exceptional strength which may be made up of a limited number of inexpensive elements adapted to be assembled and erected with a minimum of labor.
