Pool safety covers provide homeowners with a dependable physical barrier designed to protect swimming pools throughout the autumn and winter months. Unlike standard tarp covers that simply float on the water surface and rely on loose water bags to stay anchored, a pool safety cover is a heavy-duty, tightly secured shield constructed from durable mesh. This engineered design supports substantial weight, preventing children, visitors, or pets from falling into unattended water while keeping yards looking neat.
Advantages of Pool Safety Covers
Traditional winter tarps frequently buckle under snow, blow away in windstorms, and collect pools of stagnant water that invite mosquitoes and decay. In contrast, safety covers anchor securely to the surrounding deck, providing a taut surface that eliminates sagging. The tightly woven mesh material allows precipitation and melting snow to drain cleanly into the pool while screening out leaves and outdoor debris.
Because water filters through instead of collecting on top, homeowners are able to avoid hazardous standing puddles that would normally require a water pump to remove. This breathable mesh design keeps organic debris out of pool skimmers, preserving water balance and reducing maintenance when spring arrives.
Custom Measurements for Every Inground Pool
A proper fit is crucial for dependable security, which is why Riverton Pool and Spa custom measures every swimming pool directly on site. Inground pools vary in perimeter dimensions, step locations, deep-end benches, and attached spas. Our team records exact spatial data across all pool angles, ensuring the manufactured cover mirrors every contour of your patio without leaving dangerous gaps.
Professional Setup and Anchoring
Setting up these protective covers involves installing recessed brass anchor casings into concrete, stone, or paver decking around the pool perimeter. Each cover strap features a heavy-duty stainless steel tension spring. During seasonal installation, our technicians use specialized tools to tension each spring over its respective anchor, locking the fabric in place with balanced tension across the entire surface. When pool season returns, the anchors screw down flush with the patio surface so they do not create tripping hazards during the summer.
