Swimming pool assembly
The following is found in an instruction manual on assembling an above ground swimming pool:
"Grusvold på indersiden af poolen (fig.4)
En lille grusvold forhindrer, at lineren evt. kan presse sig ud under poolvæggen.
Derfor bør der være en vold i overgangen mellem bund og poolvæg hele vejen rundt.
Brug grus uden småsten.
Giv grusvolden en fast og ens overflade hele vejen rundt."

layer of gravel
Vold is 'mound', 'bank' or 'embankment', but they all sound out of proportion in this context.

fringe
I would probably cook up something like >fringe of gravel<, approximating the Danish >rand<. That is somewhat smaller than >vold< which I agree is a bit out of proportion here.
Something went wrong...
