Deliverance

So it arrived the entire package from Miamipool.
A mix of pipes, tubes, hoses, sheet metal, support struts, pumps, filters, electrical fittings, and pool chemicals.

The sheet metal alone weighs in at over 500Kg, each individual sheet is much heavier than I expected. In order to stuff it into the garage I had to first unload each individual sheet and lean them towards the garage. Then drag the wooden frame into the garage just to load them back to the frame. All in all over a ton of metal, again who needs a gym?
A neat package with 500+ kg of sheet metal
The white cube shaped thingie in the back is the stairs. Pre made of glass fiber.
It's upside down hence it might look a bit odd.



Unpacking the misc stuff there's all kinds of material.
An entire box of pipe fittings and bends.
The big bomb like thing is the sand filter. It may look big and bulky but it's made of glass fiber and weighs just about nothing...empty that is. We got 4 20Kg sacks of sand which presumably goes into the filter.

Next up is to wait for the guys to lay rock flour and pad the pool floor.
Then we're up for a challenge.
Looking at the rather comprehensive assembly manual I'm starting to seriously doubt we'll be able to assemble this kit in the four day weekend that's coming up.
