Ramp Options Summary
• Option 1: this ramp has a slope of 1:9 which is the maximum allowed
by the Ontario building code for barrier free design for a submerged
ramp. This results in a shorter length of ramp which then takes up less
room on the existing pool deck. It also results in not having to have an
additional landing along the ramp.
• Option 2: this ramp has a lesser slope of 1:12. This results in a longer
length of ramp which then takes up more space at the pool deck. As
well, an intermediate landing is required along the ramp.
Both ramps follow the Ontario building code requirements for ramps in public
pool (OBC#3.11.5.1). These requirements include:
• a handrail at each side of the ramp
• minimum ramp width of 1100mm
• a curb at the edge of the ramp
• non-slip finish along pool ramp
• a landing at the bottom of the ramp
• ramp surface are a different colour from the pool deck and pool
bottom
