Cover the pool. Respect its surroundings.
The reel sits at one end above the deck. Design considers pool shape, steps, coping and operating space.
- Deck-mounted reel
- Footprint planned ahead
- Fixings suited to the base
How the slats move
Floating slats roll around a shaft. Their path must stay clear along the pool; water level and step shape are considered when specifying the cover.
In this guideIntegrate it with the terrace
Base strength, reel alignment, power and motor access are prepared before finishes. A housing may be possible depending on the model, without blocking maintenance.
In this guideClosing and safety
To serve as a safety device, the product and installation must meet applicable requirements. We check documentation, locks and pool compatibility; floating slats alone are not enough.
In this guideKeep the mechanism accessible
Check slats, attachments and rolling according to the manual. Remove leaves and deposits with compatible products. Operate the cover while keeping the pool in view.
In this guideCan it fit an existing pool?
Often, after surveying dimensions, steps, coping and fixing supports.
Is every cover automatically a safety device?
No. Check the product, documented compliance, installation and use.
Can you swim under a partly closed cover?
No. Fully uncover the pool for swimming, following manufacturer instructions.
