The Sterling Pool


When you select a Sterling Pool system from Fort Wayne Pools, you’re getting a steel pool panel known for its quality, strength and innovation. Factory engineered to exacting specifications, the Sterling wall panel is made of Z-720 (S-235) galvanized, corrosion-resistant steel and it’s so strong that we offer a lifetime warranty on the pool wall structure.


Triple Bend Panels – the strongest available: The Sterling Pool system is made up of two main components: the wall panels and the braces. Together, these create the foundation of your pool that you’ll never see, but be glad is there. Each wall panel features a 5” top and bottom flange and a 1” back bend and under turn, creating a “triple bend” panel. These features enhance the strength of your pool, giving you peace of mind that you’ll be able to enjoy your pool for years to come.


Designed to last: Our exclusive STAKE-LOK™ rivetless/weldless manufacturing system protects against rust and corrosion by keeping the galvanized coating intact, whereas conventional welding and riveting weakens and destroys this coating. Our turnbuckle A-frame steel braces provide solid support for the pool walls.


Tru-Tile: Tru-Tile combines the beauty and luxury of ceramic tile with the ease and convenience of a vinyl liner, offering you the best of both worlds for your pool. Get the look of a tiled, gunite pool without the cost or maintenance issues!


The Tru-Tile system includes a 6” border of real ceramic tile along the waterline with a vinyl liner below. With limitless possibilities for tile selection, you really can make the pool your own. Perfect for new pools or retro-fit installations on older pools, Tru-Tile gives you the comfort and ease of vinyl and the classic beauty of real tile.


Wedding Cake Steps: Your Strong Support dealer how you can add beauty to your pool with our Wedding Cake Steps. Perfect for new pools or pool renovations, these versatile, easy-to-install steps fit in to all vinyl-liner pools. The molded shell provides a consistent liner installation and fit and is totally non-corrosive, non-abrasive and non-stressful. The step can be installed in less than an hour and is available in eight models.


Coping: It’s the little details that count. Elite Pool coping creates a smooth and uniform perimeter around your pool, holds the vinyl liner in place, and provides a hand-hold for swimmers to rest against. Made from extruded aluminum, coping is a finishing touch that unites the look of your pool, just like the trim or molding in your house.


Your Strong Support builder can also offer our special EdgelightTM coping, which bounces softly diffused light off the surface of your pool, creating an elegant optical effect. Incorporating 42-strand perimeter fiber optic lighting made by Fiberstars®, Inc., Edgelight coping is the most advanced perimeter pool lighting system available. Light strands are available in a wide range of colors, both static and changing.


Safety Covers: The daVinci® brand of safety covers from Fort Wayne Pools is designed to protect your family and your pool. Each cover is custom-manufactured to match your specific pool shape and size. When properly installed by a Strong Support builder, the daVinci safety cover will help prevent accidental intrusion into your pool by children, pets and debris. We put safety first by manufacturing a high-quality, durable cover constructed for optimum performance.


Each daVinci safety cover employs double overlapped, interlocking seams for optimum strength. Solid material covers include unique features like the KEM-KAP™ with Invis-A-Drain™, that make it easy to add chemicals to your pool after it has been sealed up for the winter months. These features keep your pool looking great during the off-season and ready-to-go with minimal cleaning and prepping when the sun starts to shine again in the spring.


All of our safety covers come with the best warranty in the industry: the daVinci safety cover 20-year warranty. Ask your Strong Support dealer for more details.


Automatic Covers: Think about your garage door. You press a button – it opens. You press the button again – it closes. What if covering and uncovering your pool were that simple?


It can be, with the Leading Edge® Automatic Pool Cover substructure components from Fort Wayne Pools.


Engineered to be an integral a part of your pool, the Leading Edge coping system allows the cover to slide smoothly across the entire length of your pool, locking into place automatically at the far edge. When you’re ready to swim, it slides back just as easily – all at the touch of a button.
