When bonding an above ground swimming pool, do you have to bond every vertical metal column and every location where the metal top rail joins together? Is a certain screw and lug required? If yes, what are they? If you bond the metal deck attached to the pool and it has an attached folding ladder that folds down to the grass do you have send the number 8 wire to the ladder to bond the ladder? If there is any other advice related to the topic that you can share with me I would really appreciate it.
 
It is true I am an electrical contractor. Not everyone knows everything. I'm asking this question because for the first time I will be Sending power to an above ground swimming pool. As strange as that may sounds, it's the truth. I do know that Equipotential bonding at a swimming pool is very important. Equipotential bonding is a concern of every good electrical contractor. If I look stupid for asking such a question, I'm ok with that. Safety is my main concern.
 
I meant no offense by the question, it's just that in common parlance, general contractors don't perform electrical work.

I'd recommend reading 680 front to back, and take note of which edition of the NEC you'll be installing the pool under, it will have a big impact on the requirements of the installation.
