If you need us to take care of the installation, we will make a site visit to measure and design your pool cover. A final quote is provided below. If you are buying a Rollup Station, we recommend that we take care of the installation. If you decide to install the cover yourself, you must take the measurements yourself and we can't be held responsible if your measurements are wrong.
All solid safety covers, solid covers, and leaf nets require PowerPlastics pool covers to measure. We'll be in touch to schedule an installation date. A local professional can arrive to install a safety pool cover made of mesh or vinyl material in approximately four to six weeks. Once the cover is available, your local dealer will schedule an installation date to attach the new cover and show you how to use it.
This process usually takes a couple of hours, as it involves showing you how to remove, replace and maintain the cover. Once the cover has the initial anchors, place the remaining straps (18 inches from the edge of the cover). On rectangles, you can use a chalk line to make sure that the anchors are in a straight line. Next to each coating pattern, you will notice that there is a “thousand”, this is the thickness of the lining.
The most common question we get is “What's the difference between mils? The “thousand” is a measure used to determine the thickness of the coating, and Pool Warehouse offers coatings from 20 thousand to 36 thousand that allow pets. Steel-wall in-ground pool kits have two different wall height options, 42 inches or 48 inches, for those who want a little more depth in the shallow part of their pool. Steel walls are popular because of the myriad options of benches, steps, and tanning ledges available only for pools with steel walls. Polymer-walled in-ground pool kits are made of structural thermoplastic and have a wall height of 42 inches.
Each panel has been designed to provide uniform stiffness, flatness, and strength. Polymer panels do not require electroplating and offer superior resistance to corrosion over time. Remember, polymer panels can never rust, rot, or corrode. Our panels are manufactured by Hydra Pools and have been in backyards for more than 30 years.
The first step in installing an above ground pool cover is to clean the pool and remove the ladder and any other obstacles. Analyze your pool water to make sure the chemicals are balanced. For those who are fans of getting into the warmest pool water, automatic pool covers are great because they heat the pool better than regular pool covers and solar pool covers. Overhead pools are generally circular or rectangular, so make sure you get a solar pool cover with the right shape and the right dimensions.
Fill the buckets with water and place them in the corners of the cover to keep it in place while you adjust the measurements and anchor the cover downwards. However, a tarp is unlikely to offer the safety and energy savings benefits that a designer pool cover will provide. In areas that get very hot at certain times of the year, your pool may get almost too hot. For pool owners who care about the environment (or those trying to save a lot of money), pools are much more energy efficient if they are covered.
Automatic pool covers are fantastic even if you still need a fence, but possibly not having to have a fence is a very attractive reason to buy an automatic pool cover. You can install an automatic cover on your own, especially if you have an above ground pool. You'll never have to worry about it getting stuck or loose, which can sometimes happen with manual pool covers because they're put on differently each time. The most obvious advantage of automatic pool covers is that, once you install them, they do 90% of the work on their own.
Make sure you have access to replacement parts for electric and automatic pool covers, such as pool cover strings and automatic cover parts, in case you ever need them. Using a roller to cover the pool will also help protect the pool cover and make it much easier to remove and put it on. Your local All-Safe dealer will provide you with a quote and help you decide which coverage option best fits your pool area and your budget. .
