gfretwell...yes,this is the mesh from Harger that you helped me find...thanx again.
The installation was very fast with the prefab mesh that was 160 feet long. The mesh came all rolled up. Just roll it out down a side of the pool and cut.Then roll it out down another side and cut. Join the runs at the corners with split bolts. Then connect the mesh to a bond wire that runs between the pumps and pool rebar.
As you can see, the pool was basicly square. This was easy to install the mesh.If the pool had a rounded shape to the outer walls, it would be difficult to follow the wall with this prefab mesh.

Great replies guys.
But doesn't Article 680.26C come under permanently installed pools. And isn't an above ground pool an considere permanently installed pool and you have to bond that pool.
So does thes grid have to be around an above ground pool? If not, where do we get only inground pools need this grid?
Thanks

The key word here is "paved". If there is a paved surface around the above ground pool it needs to be bonded. Nothing says what elevation this paved surface has to be. It is just horizontally 3 feet. That would usually bite the guy who decided paving bricks would be a good solution to the mud next to the pool and were easier than concrete although concrete would still need wire in it, bonded to the grid.
In real life, if it was done after the pool was OKed I am not sure how this would be enforced.
A wood/Trex etc deck around the pool would not need the bonding grid.
The only pools that are exempt are "storables". I think you would be looking at the equipment installed when you made that decision. "Storable" pumps and lights are different than "permanent" ones and they are mutually exclusive. You would be looking at that at the 680.22 and 23 stage of your plan review.

OK, I have a question.....
Regarding the pics of the install above, does not the Article require 3' of grid??
As I see the pics, and IF the material is 12" squares, I only "see" 2' (24")
John
edit:
Went back for a second look, & text read, still have question.
