S.R. Smith 66-209-268S2-1 Fibre-Dive Replacement Diving Board, 8-Feet, Radiant White

Easy Installation

Looks gooooood! Bolts too short for old base. Had to make a trip to hardware store. New base is probably improved upon since the release of my old base. All is well now.

FedEx had delivered our board to a non resident property that didn’t even have an address/mailbox. Thankfully, a couple days later a man that knew us went to bush hog and found it. Gate was off a dirt road about 20 yards. Great board, bolts were a little big but husband knew where to find more. Looks great with rest of pool.

It's as easy as putting on your old board took 5 mins I just wish everything was this easy all hardware was included.

Our local pool store quoted us $3200 to replace our cracked diving board. I measured and found this one on Amazon for $615 But price kept fluctuating (from $475 up to $699) Has 2 holes pre drilled that are 12” on center and it came with all hardware. This took about 20 minutes to install and fit perfectly. I hope it holds up! Our previous board lasted 18 years!

This is a decent board for the SALE price if you heed the weight limit. If you have grown men and big teens that try to jump as hard as they can, it will crack! This is my third one, not because of the board being that bad, but because of big heavy men/boys jumping as hard as they can to get air and make a big splash and me not watching them to stop them. I got about four years a board on the first two but, they will last if you don't let the big boys go hard and remove it in the winter. The moisture in the inner wood gets moist and freezes/decays in the cold and weakens it. The grit on the board will wear a bit, but the wear is acceptable and not much. I power wash the algae a couple of times a summer. Chlorine works too. If you have big people over the weight limit jumping hard, spring (Get it?) for a heavier more expensive board. Very easy to install with two bolts/nuts with 3/4 inch socket. If your board is old spray the nuts a couple of times with PB Blaster a few days before you take them off.

This diving board is a very heavy item. Being able to just order it and have it delivered to my door is such a relief. Also the board was priced in the same range as boards I priced elsewhere. The board arrived early and is a very nice board. I did have to go to the hardware store to purchase longer screws, which was ok.

When 1st board came, I inspected it and no-slip grip was pealing, so I refused the package. Shipping company took it back & I emailed company through Amazon (don't waste your time trying to call - you'll get the run-around). Company sent a replacement board and all the hardware we needed to install. Installation was so simple & board was up and running in time for the Fourth of July! Kids have been using it non-stop! Very pleased with the experience & hoping we'll get another 20-30 years out of this board.
