The Pool Site

Carefully examine the immediate pool area. The deck width around the pool needs to be a minimum of

3 feet. The cover itself will overlap the pool from waters edge approximately 9”- 18” onto the deck

surface. The spring and strapping will extend another 17” from covers edge.

the cover from laying flat? Rough coping ladder sockets, waterspouts, and other items that are not flush

with the deck. These surfaces should be padded with carpet, foam or other similar material which will

help to protect the cover from chafing.

Drape cover over the pool, it is easier to leave the water at normal height, as cover will float on water. Stretch cover evenly over pool as tightly as possible. Water bags or 5 gallon buckets placed on the straps can be used to secure cover in place. Adjust cover so that overlap is equal on all sides.

To accomplish this a steel cable is used along the wall inside foam along the edge of the cover and is secured by springs on either end of the raised wall. First drill 5/8” hole into the raised wall where the snap hooks on underside of cover line up to eyebolt (always check with builder of raised wall to assure that drilling will not damage surface of wall).
