Best Pool Safety Covers Buying Guide
Before choosing the best pool safety cover you should consider following options:
1. Durability: The first step toward selecting the best pool safety cover is to consider durability. The last thing you want is for your cover to rip or tear before you even get the chance to use it.
The nylon materials that are used to manufacture most covers are usually strong enough to withstand the elements. The exception to this rule is when you have a vinyl cover. Vinyl is a very soft and malleable plastic, and it is not recommended for outdoor use due to its weak composition.
2. Ease of Use: If you have ever used a manual safety cover, then you know just how much of a hassle they can be. There is a lot of effort involved in manually flipping the cover up and down.
If you have an automatic pool cover, then you will most likely have a motor that runs the lift. However, even with a motor, you will still need to flip the cover from time to time to gain access to the pool.
If you are unable to do this manually, then you will want to consider a different model. You want to make sure that the cover you select is easy to operate, even when you are not at home.
3. Installation: One of the biggest deterrents for homeowners when it comes to choosing a safety cover is the installation. You want to make sure that the cover you select is easy to install, or at least compatible with your current setup.
A lot of covers are compatible with existing pool decks, although some may require a little bit of modification. Others are compatible with existing fences, while some will require that you have a new fence installed.
The installation process varies depending on the type of cover you select. Manual covers are obviously the easiest to install, as you don’t have to worry about any motors or gears.
However, there are times when you will need to get someone to help you flip your cover when it’s in the raised position. Some covers are easy to flip, while others may require a bit of effort.

4. How do I install a pool safety cover?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the installation process for a pool safety cover will vary depending on the type and size of pool you have. However, most pool safety covers can be installed using a basic set of tools and instructions that are typically included with the cover. In general, you will need to remove any existing decking or pool equipment around the perimeter of the pool, and then use the provided hardware to secure the cover to the pool deck or other solid surface. Once the cover is in place, you will need to test it to ensure that it is secure and will not shift or move when in use.
