A pool cover is a device that is placed over the top of a swimming pool to protect it from weather and sunlight. Pool covers come in different shapes, sizes, and colors and can be attached to the side of the pool or suspended by cables from above. There are also motorized pool covers that can be opened or closed automatically.
Automated pool covers are typically made of vinyl, polyester, or cloth and come in a variety of colors and styles. Some pools have covers that are removable for cleaning, while others are permanently attached. Pool covers usually weigh about 100 pounds, but can be heavier or lighter depending on the model.
The most important feature to consider when choosing a pool cover is its size. Most covers fit around pools, ranging in size from 25 feet by 50 feet to 150 feet by 250 feet. Covers with a wider circumference require more poles/cables to hold them up, while those with a narrower circumference use fewer poles/cables.
Another important factor to consider when choosing a pool cover is its ability to protect the swimming pool from weather conditions such as rain, snow, hail, and sunshine. Pool covers with an automatic closure feature are usually better equipped to handle these conditions than those without one.
There are several types of pool cover rollers available on the market today including rotating deck rollers, stationary deck rollers, vibrating deck rollers, and solar assisted pool roller systems. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the right one for your pool.
