Garden City Steel Tex: Top-Notch Waterproofing for Pools

Garden City Steel Tex, also known as pool wire, is a resilient, paper-backed steel mesh specifically designed for the construction of ground-embedded swimming pools. Its primary purpose is to establish a robust, reinforced waterproof barrier between the pool cavity and the newly constructed swimming pool, ensuring durability and long-term protection. This cost-effective solution not only minimizes concrete waste but also enhances the longevity of in-ground pools.

The Manufacturing Process of Steel Tex

Steel Tex is crafted through a meticulous manufacturing process, transforming it into a securely-fastened mesh using cold-drawn, galvanized, welded steel wires. This results in an exceptionally strong and heavy-duty waterproof lining. The mesh is further fortified with a wax coating and a reinforced kraft paper layer, complemented by a composite of glass fibers and a cloth woven from intricate PVC flat threads, significantly boosting its durability. Garden City Steel Tex has a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Advantages of Using Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its remarkable strength, Garden City Steel Tex retains impressive flexibility, a crucial characteristic for swimming pool construction. Utilizing this pool mesh ensures that the final structure, regardless of design, will be robust and long-lasting. Furthermore, it withstands gunite buildup and is resistant to damage from cleaning products and tools.
