Pool Safety Nets: Removable Net Pool Covers

A pool safety net is a strong, removable net cover stretched tight across your pool to help keep children and pets out of the water. It comes off in less than 10 minutes when it's time to swim, and most cost $2,600–$3,600 installed.

What Is a Pool Safety Net Cover?

A safety net cover (also called a pool net cover) is a tightly woven net that spans the whole pool and clips to small anchors set in your deck. With the net on, the water is covered. With it off, the anchors sit flush with the deck and your pool area is wide open.

It adds an extra layer of protection on the days the pool isn't in use, without a barrier around the yard.

How a Safety Net Cover Works

Three steps on, the same three steps off. The net only releases with its tensioning tool, so removing it is an adult's job.

Most owners take a net off in less than 10 minutes. It comes off quicker than it goes back on, and pools with rock features or raised walls take longer. Your installer can tell you what to expect for your pool.

Will a Net Work for My Pool?

Nets are custom-made for almost any inground pool: rectangles, curves, freeforms, spas and water features. Because the 3½" openings let small debris through, many owners pair a net with a leaf cover in the fall.

The net sits above the water, never on it, so keep your water level at least 5 inches below the coping.

Pool Safety Net FAQs

How much does a pool safety net cost?

Most pool safety nets cost $2,600–$3,600 installed. Spa and water-feature nets usually run $799–$1,300. Size, shape, deck surface and extra features set the final price, which your installer confirms after measuring.

Is a pool safety net the same as a pool net cover?

Yes. "Pool safety net," "safety net cover" and "pool net cover" all describe the same thing: a removable net stretched tight across the pool. It differs from a mesh safety cover, which is a fabric cover usually used to close a pool for the season.

How long does it take to put on or take off?

Most owners take a net off in less than 10 minutes. It comes off quicker than it goes back on, and pools with rock features or raised walls take longer. Your installer can tell you what to expect for your pool.

Are pool safety nets safe for kids and pets?

A properly installed All-Safe net is tested to hold 485+ lbs and has 3½-inch openings, so it helps add an extra layer of protection when the pool isn't in use. No barrier replaces adult supervision.

Do leaves fall through a pool net?

Small debris like leaves, dust and dirt can pass through the 3½-inch openings. Many owners add a leaf cover during the fall.

Can a net cover a spa or water feature?

Yes. Nets are custom-made around spas, raised walls and rock features, and a spa can have its own net so you can use it while the pool stays covered.

What's left on the deck when the net is off?

Only the small anchors. The most common type, the standard brass keyhole anchor, sits flush with the deck and patinas over time, so it blends in and you won't stub your toes. Threaded anchors have a small collar just above the deck that's hardly noticeable.
