Doughboy Pool Features

Doughboy  
Safely Designed for Peace of Mind. No one takes the issue of pool safety more seriously than we do: Our ground-breaking work with the US
Consumer Products Safety Commission, whose motto is "Saving Lives and Keeping Families Safe", has resulted in an industry-leading safety program that is a part of every Doughboy pool.

The Best Memories for a Lifetime! At Doughboy, we know the number one reason people buy a pool is to build memories - so we build our pools to last for a "Lifetime of Memories". Ourtop-of-the-line pools are under warranty for the entire time you own them!

Doughboy offers an excellent assortment of pool sizes in both round and oval configurations to perfectly compliment your home. Be assured that when we give you a pool dimension it is a "true" size based on the inside pool wall. Our pools also have a "true" vertical and top rail measurement. These dimensions are measured by a straight
vertical dimension - not a wrap-around measurement of the rail.
Walls...
• Made from heavier copper bearing steel than industry standards for a stronger pool wall. Ours are 30-60 Ibs. heavier than other brands. Ask your dealer to show you our wall weight.
• Our Zinc Clad Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel Wall receives numerous protective coatings, along with a special L; . "9 on the inside of the pool wall providing the best defense against corrosion and condensation in the industry.
• Deep, balanced corrugation offers wall flexibility and vertical strength. Doughboy pool walls have more corrugation per inch than any other brand.
• Slide-Bar wall connector continuously joins the pool walls together for complete structural integrity and ease of assembly. This creates a seamless and smooth swimming environment. Unlike our competitors, we do not use unsightly nuts and bolts that weaken the wall structure.


Vertical End Caps - "the Anchor" of any pool...
• Doughboy vertical end caps are made from 18 gauge galvanized steel - 50% heavier than most brands. This provides added stability at the base and
the top of pool.
• Exact, pre-punched holes assure structural integrity and allow for a more precise installation. Other brands use slotted holes which cost less to produce but weaken the stability of their pools. Test and compare us to other brands by vigorously shaking the top rail of a Doughboy
pool. You can feel the stability!

Doughboy
Steel Verticals...
• Made from better-than-industry-standard gauge steel which increases stability. (Approximately 50% heavier than other brands)
• Doughboy steel verticals are made with 3-piece construction for extra strength and rigidity.
• All steel verticals and top rails are coated with a 7-step coating process on both sides to insure maximum corrosion resistance and superior durability.

Other Brands
Top Rails (Top Seats)...
• Steel top rails made from 20 gauge steel are sturdier than our competitors' rails. That's because we understand the top rails get more use than any other part of the pool.
Steel or Resin?
With Doughboy, your choice between the two are equal. Doughboy pool frames are designed to last, whether they are made from steel or resin. The only choice you will need to make is deciding which materials you prefer to create the luxurious backyard of your dreams.
All Doughboy Pools have...

• Com-Pac II™ Oval Support System with steel construction that offers a stylish, one-part tapered design that only exposes 9 inches of the support for a more attractive appearance. This helps accommodates larger pool models in smaller backyards. No other manufacturer can provide you with the space-saving features of the Com-Pac II when combined with the true expandable bottom!
• Interlocking fram structure adds strength and rigidity to our pools. Plus it's easier to install!
Bottom Rails...
• Premium-gauge steel used for the bottom rails is made with a 7-step process to insure a long, trouble free life. They are backed with a 100% lifetime warranty!



Liners

• 100% Virgin-Vinvl Formula. No Reprocessed Material is Used. Manufactured by Doughboy

to our rigid specifications to provide a soft, flexible, top-quality liner.
• Doughboy liners are manufactured with a specialized formulation proven over years for

superior quality. Materials used in formulation have low-temperature plastizers and

stabilizers to assure low-temperature flexibility and durability. Our liners are the highest

quality liners on the market today.
• Our liners are extruded in our own manufacturing facility and assembled using the latest technological processes in the industry. With Therma-Seal™ Technology, a proprietary fusion method, provides superior sealing for maximum durability and quality. Unmatched in the industry, this process uses the best technology available. We are so confident in the seam that we back all of our liner seams with a 100% lifetime warranty.
• 20 and 25 Mil "True" Expandable Liners. No "Hopper Bottoms" designed to expand smoothly into an Optional Special-Purpose Deep Swimming Area for Underwater Swimming Only. No Jumping. No Diving.
• All Doughboy liners exceed industry standards for weight and thickness assuring our liners will outperform our competition. Our liners are
a "True Mil" measure. Don't be confused by the "gauge" game our competitors play. Some will call their liner 20 gauge or 20 weight when they really measure only 15 Mil (.015") in thickness or less. Ask your dealer to weigh a Doughboy liner!

Stainless steel panels - fact or fiction?

Some above-ground pools today have stainless steel panels at the skimmer opening to prevent rusting of the pool wall. This solution will cause a problem called "Dissimilar
Metal Corrosion" (when two different types of metals - ie. galvanized steel and stainless - are bolted together). Over time this will cause the wall at the two connection points to rust away and lead to pool failure. In the past, this type of pool panel was nicknamed a "Blow-out Panel" as a result of the corrosion. This practice also takes away from the beauty of your
pool. Doughboy's procedures include a flattened area in the corrugation around our skimmer/return openings and a special U-gasket is used to protect the raw edge of the steel to assure a
no-leak skimmer installation. Our walls also have the most advanced coatings in the industry, further protecting them from the elements. This eliminates the need for a stainless steel panel, and
maintains the structural integrity and beauty of your Doughboy pool!
