Anybody???

hey, Jen - sorry for they delay!

The major makers that I know of are Meyco, LoopLok, and Merlin - . I've also used Cover Logic (Vyn-All) covers quite a number of times and seem to be as good as the major brands.

With regard to solid or mesh: I've found that the new tighter weave mesh covers do ~ as good a job as the solid safety covers and weigh ~ 1/2 as much - making installation and removal sooo much easier.


What kind of pool deck do you have?

I've installed a few hundred safety covers and will let you know any tips on using them that I know.

Thanks so much Ted!

We have a concrete pool deck and my husband plans to try and install it himself. Any advice would be great!

Like Ted, I, too, prefer mesh. I've had a mesh cover that has lasted now 8 seasons and will go at least a ninth.

As for anchors, I presume you have to hammer-drill into the concrete and put the retractable concrete type in. There's a type for wood decks as well that I use, plus a special edge type that seems to be unique to FantaSea and Kayak pools.

But Ted's advice will be far more valuable than mine.

I have an automatic undertrack pool safety cover from Pool Covers, Inc. My pool is shown with the cover open



and closed



(we now have a dark blue cover instead of the tan one shown in the photo). However, this particular company appears to service only northern California.
