Project brief #
Distinguish barefoot use from ordinary outdoor walking. Request evidence relevant to wet conditions and pool chemicals, then detail drainage and maintenance access without leaving hazards around covers, edges or equipment.
Planning and verification #
Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.
Handover and maintenance #
Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.
