Custom Pool Cover FAQs for Inground Pools
Get clear answers about custom pool safety covers, pricing, measuring, materials, and installation. Everything you need to choose the right cover for your pool.
What is a custom pool safety cover?
A custom pool safety cover is designed to fit the exact shape and dimensions of your inground pool. It is anchored into your pool deck and built to meet ASTM safety standards, helping prevent accidental entry while keeping debris out.
How much does a custom pool cover cost?
Custom pool covers typically range from $1,200 to $4,000 depending on the size, shape, and material. Mesh covers are generally more affordable, while solid covers cost more due to their ability to block sunlight and prevent algae growth.
How do I measure my pool for a custom cover?
Measuring your pool involves taking A/B measurements across the width and length of the pool, including any steps, spas, or unique features. A diagram or photo is usually required to ensure an accurate custom fit.
Can I replace my existing pool cover using old measurements?
Yes, in many cases a replacement pool cover can be created using your previous measurements or an existing cover design. If measurements are unavailable or outdated, a new diagram may be needed for accuracy.
What is the difference between mesh and solid pool covers?
Mesh pool covers allow water to drain through while blocking debris and most sunlight, reducing maintenance. Solid covers block 100% of sunlight and debris, helping prevent algae growth, but they require a pump or drain panel to remove standing water.
Are your custom pool covers ASTM certified?
Yes, all of our custom pool safety covers meet or exceed ASTM F1346 safety standards. They are designed to support the weight of an adult and help prevent accidental entry into the pool.
How long do custom pool covers last?
With proper care, mesh pool covers typically last 12–15 years, while solid covers last 10–12 years. Warranty coverage varies by product but typically ranges from 10–12 years.
Can you make a custom pool cover for any pool shape?
Yes, we manufacture custom pool covers for all shapes including rectangular, kidney, freeform, Grecian, Roman, L-shaped, and more. Simply provide a diagram or photo and we will create a precise fit.
How long does it take to get a custom pool cover?
It typically takes 2-3 weeks for a cover to be manufactured once we receive confirmation of the measurements and design.
