Abstract

A bar counter for an above-ground swimming pool includes hooks spaced apart on opposite sides of a countertop; a support adjustment assembly is mounted at a lower end of the hook, a movable adjustment rod is slidably mounted on an inner side of the support adjustment assembly, and a limiting portion cooperating with the movable adjustment rod is disposed inside the support adjustment assembly. By providing the support adjustment assembly, the limiting portion and other related mechanisms, the bar counter can cooperate with the hooks on the countertop to adjust an extension length of the movable adjustment rod, such that the countertop can be stably mounted on above-ground swimming pools of different shapes and specifications. This effectively solves the problems that existing swimming pool bar counter mounting mechanisms are not adjustable, and are difficult to adapt to various shapes of above-ground swimming pools.
