POOL COVER TYPE: FABRIC OR HARD SLATTED COVER

The most visually apparent component is the covering material itself. Pool cover fabrics have come a long way and their design are more durable than ever with many colour options to match your pool surroundings. Fabric with heat sealed webbing will be stronger and more lasting than cheaper sewn webbing.

A new, popular alternative to fabric covers are solid slatted covers with polycarbonate, transparent and solar profile options. These attractive covers are made with long horizontal polycarbonate tiles hinged together. They offer extreme impact resistance, enhanced UV protection and is not affected by direct UV light and comes with a warranty. These slatted covers provide an attractive, consistently smooth, solid looking surface without the folds and warps of a fabric cover while still being easy to use and offering a wide assortment of colours for either indoor or outdoor pools.

POOL SHAPE AND SIZE

One of the most common questions that we get asked is whether automatic pool covers will work with non rectangular, unique, irregularly shaped pools.

The good news fortunately is yes! With the many pool cover models and options available, automatic pool covers can usually be customized to fit most pool shapes and sizes.

When it comes to the price of your cover, here’s what you need to know:

• If you have a basic rectangle shape with an aluminum pool cover lid, you’ll likely have a lower price.
• However, if your pool has unique features like a beach entry, jumping rocks, or an infinity edge, it will require additional customization, which can result in a higher price.

So, if you want to keep your pool safe and secure with an automatic safety cover, know that there are options for you no matter the shape or design of your pool.
