Nutting Engineers of Florida, Inc. has performed geotechnical engineering services
for the referenced project. The area between the house and the proposed pool was
ro probed with a Static Cone Penetrometer to determine the level of compaction of the
° backfill material. Three probes were performed at the following locations:
.Y
r 1) 2' from pool on east side, 15' from house at southeast end.
2) 2' from pool on east side, 15' from house at approx. center.
v3) 2' from pool on east side, 15' from house at northeast end.
? c
It is our opinion that the pool backfill as indicated by the above test locations has
J: r W been compacted to a density of the order of 95 percent modified Proctor.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service. Should you have any questions,
a please contact our office at your convenience.

Proposed Residential Pool Child Protection

Dear Mr. Paula:
M.C.N Life Saver Pool Fence, Inc. retained Nutting Engineers of Florida Inc. to test Life
Saver Safety Pool Fencing for resistance to lateral pressures on Vertical Post Supports.
The test specimens consisted of (48) inch x 1" diameter high removable aluminum pole
sections into 1 1/8" x 4" polypropylene sleeves drilled into concrete paver tiles. The
section tested measured thirty-six (36) inches high from the top of the paved deck and
had a horizontal spacing of thirty-six (36) inches. The representative samples were
installed as per the "Florida Residential Building Code" section R4101.17.1.11 through
R4101.17.1.15 and Florida Statue 515.29 which states: Vertical posts of the child mesh
safety barrier shall extend a minimum of three (3) inches below the deck and be spaced
no greater than thirty-six (36) inches apart.
At the time of testing, a lateral force was applied to a single post at a measurement of
thirty-six (36) from the surface of the deck. The resistance to lateral pressures was
found to exceed 70 Pounds of pressure before failure on any single post in a free
standing installation.
Conclusion: The products tested were found to exceed the required 52lbs. of horizontal
force measured at 36" prescribed by the Florida Building Code section R4101.17.1.15
Paragraph 1.
Attached with this report are photographs of the paver system used at the time of the
installation of the Removable Child Barrier.
