Rugged construction and top quality materials. Kafko s newest technologies go into the construction of all of our new pool designs. Our registered Press-Lock systems are a large part of why Kafko is happy to offer a Liftetime, One-Time Transferable warranty on every pool we build. Manufacturing and Engineering Our quality industry proven steel wall, vinyl liner swimming pools, available in over 200 shapes and sizes, have set the standard in the swimming pool industry. We at Kafko are extremely proud of our innovative method of manufacturing and advanced engineering capabilities. Press-Lock systems represent our industry s state of the art method of manufacturing, replacing the old welded systems. The patented Press-Lock fastening systems do not destroy the integrity of the galvanized coating. Engineered Pool Wall System Panels are made from 14 gauge steel with G235 (Z720) galvanized coating. Both straight and curved wall panels have strategically located holes at both ends ensuring positive and accurate alignments. The ends of each panel are made with a recessed end, making for a seamless panel connection. Straight panels are formed using the Kafko TriBend method, which provides much more strength than the industry standard double bend panel. The steel panels which are used on our curved wall pools are designed to ensure that every Kafko pool is constructed to exacting specifications. All panels come with a full 5" wall brace designed to make the Kafko straight steel panel the strongest design in the industry. Superior Strength of Steel From skyscrapers to bridges, engineers turn to steel when maximum strength is called for. Unique Wall Brace System The double L design makes our Kafko panels the strongest in the industry. The galvanized steel braces are press locked in place, not only to the back of each wall but also on the top and bottom, ensuring that each panel retains its original pre-formed shape. Adjustable A Frame Kafko s engineers have designed a unique heavy-duty adjustable A frame that ensures perfect alignment. This emphasis on strength assures that you receive a structurally sound Kafko pool. Optional Deck Support System The Kafko single, double A or box deck support systems were engineered to support the deck around the pool. This system also adds additional rigidity to the pool walls. 14 15
