Bonding above ground pool parts

[richwaskowitz]

Can anyone suggest a good, practical method of bonding the aluminum and steel structure of an above ground pool? Since this pool (like most others I believe) is assembled from metal panels, rails, deck supports and deck flooring, how is this accomplished? If I can't bond every piece (1.2 zillion individual pieces) what is practical?

rich,

This is a real good question, but I think you will have to ask your AHJ what they feel comfortable with. It's a judgement call.

I've always circled the pool and connected to every other upright plus metal Ladder, Slide etc (and metal fence if close enough). Some may say this was overkill, but that's just the way I always did it.
