Swimming Pool Bulkheads - Features of a Wrightfield Pools System
The exceptional strength and rigidity of our movable pool bulkheads comes from a fully welded stainless steel truss structure, engineered to withstand the demands of busy commercial swimming facilities.
Designed for reliability, each bulkhead incorporates integrated buoyancy chambers that reduce its effective weight in the water while maintaining excellent structural stability.
Safety and usability are central to the design. Recessed handholds, rope anchors and hooks help minimise potential hazards for swimmers, while smooth stainless steel edge profiles provide a durable and protective finish.
Flow-through openings at the waterline help dissipate wave energy, improving swimming conditions and reducing turbulence across the pool.
The carriage assembly supports the bulkhead while providing convenient access to the movement controls, locking mechanisms and buoyancy system for straightforward operation and maintenance.
The walking surface features a permanently coloured, slip-resistant grating that is designed to retain its appearance without peeling, yellowing or requiring repainting.
Integrated lane targets further enhance visibility for swimmers, while the all-stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability, corrosion resistance and dependable performance in demanding aquatic environments.

Recreational, Domestic, Training, and Competition Bulkhead Considerations
For training the bulkhead simply needs to provide a rigid turning surface.
For competition swimming the end of the pool (or bulkhead) must be rigid enough and wide enough to accommodate officials, lap counters, etc.
For recreation, instruction or competition, the need to provide a facility that can accommodate multiple programming activities is crucial. Wrightfield bulkheads span the width of a swimming pool, creating a movable bridge to divide a larger single activity pool into multiple activity pool.
Easily moved, bulkheads can be re-positioned to accommodate competition courses, or used to host two aquatic events simultaneously such as scuba diving lessons and water aerobics.
