Homeowners have a few choices when it comes to covering their pool. The best choice is the one that meets their needs for keeping children and pets safe, keeping out leaves and debris, and preserving the water.
Compare these 3 swimming pool cover types to help choose the best for your family.
Mesh pool covers are ideal for wintry conditions or when safety is the most critical element in your pool cover choice. They’re made of a super-strong mesh fabric and straps that attach to the pool deck with metal anchors. If a household has children who are at risk of falling into a pool and drowning, the smart choice would be a mesh pool cover type.
This option provides an assurance of safety, with the added benefit of keeping out debris and leaves. The cost of installation ranges between $2,500 and $4,500. However, they are a less-expensive alternative to automatic pool covers.
Automatic pool covers provide safety, facilitate the pool’s maintenance, and translate to cost savings since they aid in conserving heat, water, and chemistry. While automatic-type pool covers are popular, their installation relies on the shape of the pool.
The cost averages between $5,000 and $15,000. Investing in an automatic pool cover provides the extra savings a pool owner can get in terms of heating and pool maintenance. An automatic pool cover can even extend your swimming season by keeping the pool warmer during cooler months.
Leaf pool covers keep leaves and debris out of your pool. Their main function is in maintaining the pool as opposed to acting as a safety barrier. They’re among the least-expensive swimming pool cover types both by purchase price and installation cost, with a range of between $2,000 and $3,500.
It’s best to have a professional company install your pool cover. Installing most pool cover types requires drilling anchor holes into the pool’s deck. Any mistakes here can lead cracks or other damage that would be expensive to fix, and can compromise its strength.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature.
In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
