Pool Equipment Controls over the years have been getting larger and larger. Back in the 1980’s, what controlled the pool was a simple time clock and could easily be mounted anywhere. Today, the controls are much larger and with many more items to control specialty equipment. Some of the time the items are so large, the fence is adversely affected from mounting all of it in one area. And sometimes, both the homeowner and neighbor share ownership of the fence and the neighbor does not want the control equipment mounted to the fence. This leaves only one way to install the equipment and that is using a galvanized metal uni-strut rack as you see in the photo. Much stronger than the fence and keeps the controls and equipment away from the fence.
