Description
This is a complete detailed structural CAD drawing of a skimmer type Swimming Pool Retaining Wall, taken from real life projects. It can be imported into any pool structural design project and used as a standard reinforcement detailing for construction.
Skimmer type pools are pools which use skimmer wall filtrations and the water level is lower than the pool wall and coping. Skimmers are installed on walls to collect the water and all other floating debris which are collected in a simmer basket inside the skimmer. Water is filtered through the pool filtration system and pumped into the pool again. Usually, a pool needs to filter all of the water volume every 4 hours.
Skimmer type pools do not need a balancing tank and are usually cheaper than overflow and infinity pools and that is why they are the most common type of pools especially in private residential installations.
Comprehensive Detailing
This highly detailed construction drawing is one of the most valuable and essential tool you will need when designing with reinforced concrete pool structures to help you save valuable time with every project.
Calculations for the needed reinforcement and retaining wall thickness were carried out for pool water depths of around 130-140cm. For shallower pools, the reinforcement could be reduced to the minimum reinforcement.


The drawing provides a clear and complete reinforcement detailing of all the retaining walls and footings needed in order to complete this structural design task.
- Pool foundation reinforcement detailing
- Pool wall vertical and horizontal reinforcement
- Construction joints with water stop detail
- Pool copings
- External floor reinforcement detail
As mentioned above, the water depth of the pool and the catch pool can vary for every design, and it can very easily be adjusted with simple CAD commands.
Generic and adaptable
This comprehensive drawing provides a clear and detailed representation of everything needed to completely design and detail a skimmer type pool edge retaining wall together with the exterior deck area floor slab.
The drawing is designed to be adaptable to any reinforced concrete design project, ensuring that it can be used across a wide range of construction applications.
