Thanks Martin.

All that it says (according to the customer) is that there is to be a ramp in place incase the canine panics. Or for the canine to be able to exit the pool unaided.

Hi D-man,
If the ramp is only for the canine does this mean that it doesn't have to decend to the base of the pool, only to a depth of max doggy leg depth when swimming or are you talking about a ramp that has a slope of pool depth/w+0.5l. I'm not sure how a ramp like that would work as there would only be a short section that the dog could exit, relative to the perimeter. Also not sure how well that suits a panicking doggy. I would have thought a short ramp actually sloping from the edge towards the center of the pool would be a better bet.
Send me a PM if you want, I have an Engineering and Manufacturing backround and I'm pretty handy with Solidworks so I could either generate some sketches for you to help mull over different options and concepts or if you want to take it further I would draw up a set of working drawings.
Interesting one...
Noel.
