Pool Measuring
The TRIANGULATION method of swimming pool measurement is by far the
most accurate and is also quick and easy.
Follow these steps:
1. Using chalk or wax, mark two points A and B to one side of the pool,
approximately six feet from the edge and at opposite ends of the pool,
at least 20’ apart. Measure the distance between A and B, and record this on the survey form.
2. Using chalk, mark a number of points around the perimeter of the pool
edge, numbering them as you go. The joints between the coping stones are
usually a good point to use.
3. When all the points are marked, measure the distance to each from point
A, recording them on the sheet as you go (A1, A2, A3 etc.). At this point
it is essential that the end of the tape at point A is kept in place and
does not move. Also keep the tape taught, any dips will give a false reading.
4. Repeat above, measuring from point B.
5. Finally, if there are any obstructions that need to be taken into account,
such as non removable steps or diving boards, then these should also be marked, again measuring from A
and B.
