Custom Safety Pool Covers have FREE SHIPPING and made by a variety of companies including PoolTux and Rayner.

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F1346-91 standard (1996) requires that a pool cover must hold a minimum of 485 pounds per five square feet to qualify as a pool safety cover. Pool safety covers usually come in two varieties: Mesh & Solid. Both types of pool safety covers are anchored to a deck with straps that pull the cover taut over the pool; the straps usually attach to stainless steel springs and are anchored to recessed brackets in a deck surface.

When the pool cover is removed, deck brackets that are not already flush with the deck can be screwed down to prevent tripping or toe-stubbing. Because the straps need to be anchored down, safety covers generally require at least 30+ inches of decking all around the pool. There are a variety of deck anchors for all types of decking material including, but not limited to, concrete, brick, asphalt, earth (lawn), and wood. All new safety covers include new hardware, a storage bag and an installation tool. Any new cover ordered through the safety cover duplicate/replacement program WILL NOT get new anchors since you should have them already installed in concrete around your pool deck.
