SRS 12' Commercial Frontier III Board, White

The S.R. Smith 12-Foot Commercial Frontier III Diving Board (White) (Part Number 66-209-612-2) is a heavy-duty, fiberglass-reinforced commercial springboard engineered for municipal aquatic centers, high school dive wells, resort pools, and commercial hospitality facilities requiring extended board overhang and heightened spring response.

Engineered for moderate-to-heavy public pool recreational use, this 12-foot board features an internal laminated wood beam core fully sealed within a multi-ply structural fiberglass shell and finished with a durable, non-slip white aggregate acrylic gelcoat surface.

Construction & Material Architecture

• Internal Laminated Wood Core: Full-length multi-ply Douglas fir and select composite wood beam core designed to distribute cyclic flexural stresses evenly and provide high fatigue endurance under heavy bather traffic.

• Fiberglass Roving Encapsulation: Multi-layered structural fiberglass roving vacuum-bonded with premium polyester resin, completely isolating the wood core from moisture ingress, delamination, chemical rot, and core softening.

• Surface Tread: Factory-molded non-slip textured finish (integral commercial white acrylic gelcoat tread) compliant with commercial aquatic wet-surface slip resistance standards while remaining skin-friendly for bare feet.

• Environmental Stability: Outer resin system contains UV stabilizers to prevent chalking, surface brittleness, and discoloration under direct sunlight and high chloramine concentrations.

Dimensional & Mounting Specifications

• Nominal Length: 12'-0" (144 inches / approx. 3.66 m).

• Nominal Width: 18 inches (approx. 45.7 cm).

• Profile / Taper: Engineered progressive taper (approx. 1.5" thickness at the tip increasing to 2.25"–2.5" at the fulcrum contact zone) calibrated for 12-foot spring dynamics.

• Mounting Configuration: Standard commercial 2-hole rear butt-end pattern:

  • Hole Center-to-Center Spacing: 12 inches (30.5 cm).

  • Hole Diameter: Pre-drilled for 1/2" diameter heavy-duty mounting bolts.

• Color: Commercial White (matte textured top surface with smooth color-matched underside).

Stand Compatibility & Fulcrum Placement

• Stand Suitability: Engineered for commercial cantilever frames, steel pedestal stands, U-frame bases, and meter stands configured for 12-foot boards (e.g., S.R. Smith Steel Meter Stands, Frontier II/III commercial frames, and Econoline stands).

• Specified Fulcrum Setting (Critical): Must be installed with the fulcrum positioned strictly within the manufacturer-calibrated range—typically centered 60 to 64 inches (nominally 62 inches) forward from the center of the rear mounting holes. Altering the fulcrum location changes board stiffness, risks core fracture, and voids structural certifications.

• Duty Rating: Commercial recreational classification; maximum single-diver weight capacity of 250 lbs (113.4 kg) under standard commercial aquatic codes.

Weight and Logistics Profile

• Net Unit Weight: Approximately 68 to 80 lbs (approx. 30.8 to 36.3 kg).

• Packaged Dimensions: Reinforced heavy-duty corrugated shipping sleeve measuring approximately 146" L × 20" W × 4" H (approx. 371 cm × 51 cm × 10 cm).

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Approximately 84 to 96 lbs (approx. 38.1 to 43.5 kg).

• Freight Handling: Due to the extreme 12-foot length, ships exclusively via LTL Freight (typically NMFC Class 70 to 85, subject to standard carrier overlength surcharges for packages >12 feet).
