Not Just Looks — Structural Performance

How a Movable Bulkhead Is Engineered

A movable bulkhead divides the same pool into multiple zones — for rehab, aquatics, or lane training — without draining, downtime, or duplicating infrastructure.

  • AISI 316 frame (304 optional)
  • No coatings, no mild steel
  • Anti-slip composite or steel grating
  • Sealed buoyancy chambers
  • Manual/motorized movement with locks
  • No cables. No floaters.

Built from AISI 316 (or 304) stainless steel with composite or steel decking, this system allows you to reconfigure the pool layout in minutes. Zero flex. Zero float. Fully certified for public use.

Locked In. No Play.

Tolerances for a Movable Bulkhead

A movable bulkhead is only as reliable as the tolerances it’s built to.
Every structural joint, slide rail, and anchoring point is precision-welded and CNC-aligned — to eliminate rattle, wear, and drift over time..

  • Made to real pool specs, not just CAD
  • Smooth, guided repositioning
  • Under 10 minutes by a single operator
  • Flush seals and integrated drainage<

It’s Infrastructure — Not a Feature

How a Movable Bulkhead Functions

It doesn’t call attention to itself — and that’s the point.
The surface works underfoot, underwater, and during changeovers — without needing extra systems or supervision.

  • Surface: composite, polymer, or steel
  • Safe for wet, barefoot use
  • Switch use: rehab, aquafit, sport, service
