What happens here

To counteract the inward pressure generated by the external lifting straps and prevent the fiberglass pool shell from caving in or deforming, internal wooden spreader bars are crucial. These wooden posts are typically supplied with the fiberglass pool by the manufacturer and are installed across the width of the pool at various strategic points. They function as robust internal bracing, essential for maintaining the shell's structural integrity and preventing any inward collapse or distortion during both transport and the lifting operation.

Goal: Prevent the pool shell from collapsing inward during lifting and transport.
