Abstract

A method of securing elongated lengths of lighting track in the aggregate coping face of a liner type swimming pool. The method includes applying double sided adhesive tape to a shelf face of a form board utilized to define the cross-sectional contour of coping to be poured. The track is removably mounted adhesively against the tape and retained thereat until after curing of the aggregate has been completed. Following curing of the aggregate, the form board is removed to expose the face of the track in the face of the coping.

Claims

In a swimming pool including a vertical wall, a support for securing a liner to be placed within the pool and an aggregate coping poured and cured overlying the upper face of said wall, an elongated length of lighting track having walls defining a channel-like section with a frontal opening behind which to contain a length of lighting element exposed toward the pool and positioned in said coping when uncured displaced from said vertical pool wall with the walls of said track substantially surrounded by said coping to support said track substantially in its entirety by the aggregate of said coping when cured.

2. In a swimming pool in accordance with claim 1 in which said lighting track is secured in said coping at a level displaced from adjacent surfaces of said pool wall.
