Safety Rope

[crosso]

The pool is finished. He has to come back to install my safety net. If I have him install the pool rope correctly, will I be at a greater risk for a leak since he would be installing it after the fact?

My safety rope anchors are in the wall of the pool slightly below the tile.

I forgot to mention my pool is concrete. If I had vinyl I would not want them below the water line, just one more place for a leak.

In my vinyl pool, they are mounted well above the water line at the top of the coping, but they are anchored in the deck concrete.

Thank you all for your help. If anyone can post a picture of their pool (where the rope is anchored), I would be very greatful.

Thanks again

We have a vinyl liner pool and put our safety rope anchors into the coping above where the liner fits in. You can't tell from the photo, but the liner bead is well below where the anchor fits. The anchors are standard.

We've only built our own pool, but I think you or your builder should be able to get a drill bit that will drill through the coping and into your decking material -- no holes in the liner.

My inground vinyl linner pool has the rope anchors installed as shown in picture.
