What Is A Diving Board Jig?

Installing a diving board is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution. To ensure proper installation, mark the location of the diving board on the pool deck using a chalk line or tape measure. A jig is a tool used to cut the diving board to the correct size and shape, as well as create holes for bolts that hold it in place.

A diving board jig is a move where the diver swings their legs up and over the board in a quick motion before diving into the water. This can be used to add extra height or rotation to the board. It is essential to follow safety recommendations for diving board installation, such as diving into water that meets depth requirements with arms extended, being aware of the bottom and walls of the pool, and avoiding collisions.

When installing a diving board, ensure that the top surface of the board is properly secured and that the placement of the diving board jig for vinyl liner pools meets placement specifications outlined in ANSI Standards. Use a calculator to ensure you meet these guidelines. Before investing in a diving board, research construction rules and seek the assistance of a pool contractor. Once you have obtained necessary permits, ensure that the front jig bolt is connected to the ground and closest to the pool’s edge.
