When your swimming pool safety cover gets damaged, knowing how to do the necessary pool cover repair can save you money and keep your pool protected. Pool safety cover repair restores the integrity of your cover, sealing up any rips, tears, or holes to prevent further damage as the water, weight, and environment pull at the edges. As your swimming pool safety experts, we’ll help you understand what to look for when evaluating damage to your swimming pool safety cover, how to perform the most common DIY repairs, and when you need to contact your independent All-Safe Pool installer to ensure larger repairs or replacement needs are managed professionally.
Our swimming pool safety covers are engineered to be strong enough to support the weight of a full-grown adult and are manufactured using rip-resistant mesh and straps. Time, however, is undefeated, and pool cover repair may eventually be needed. We offer the same materials used in the production of our ASTM-compliant pool safety covers, nets, and fences for DIY repair. While the materials are the same, care must be taken to perform all repairs properly to ensure your pool safety barriers offer the same industry-leading protection against unsupervised pool access you’ve come to know and count on to protect your swimming pool.
Before you can plan a pool cover repair, you have to establish what part of the cover you’re repairing and the supplies needed. There are several different parts of the pool cover that are user-repairable under the right conditions. When assessing the damage, be sure to be conservative when estimating the extent of the damage, as it’s far better to be safe than sorry when the lives of those you care about are on the line.
Accidental drownings are responsible for thousands of deaths every year, and a lack of adequate safety barriers is cited as a contributing factor in the majority of them. There are plenty of DIY pool cover repair parts and options, but if you have any doubts, contact a professional. Peace of mind is far cheaper than regret.
Small rips and tears in mesh swimming pool safety covers are easily repaired with a mesh pool cover patch kit. These easy-to-use kits usually include several patches that are approximately 6-8 inches long. While some manufacturers suggest you use successive patches to repair longer tears, the patched fabric will never be as safe or secure as before the large tear occurred, so we recommend professional repair or replacement in those cases.
These self-adhesive patch kits make pool cover repair easy.
By patching both sides of a small tear, you have extra assurance that the job is done right and ready for long-term use.
Worn and weathered straps can be reinforced to keep them strong enough to support your pool safety cover. These methods should only be used if you’re confident with a thread and needle, as the stretching and contracting movement of the strapping under tension makes adhesives impractical for these repairs.
If you aren’t confident in your sewing ability, have multiple broken straps, or several straps are showing signs of premature wear, contact a pool cover repair pro for advice.
Strong anchors and clips are vital to maintaining a cover that’s ready to prevent accidental drownings. Luckily, these are excellent candidates for DIY safety cover repair.

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.
