Safety Pool Covers

Secure Protection for Your Family & Pool

 If you want the ultimate peace of mind, a safety cover is essential. Designed to support weight and prevent accidental entry, these covers protect children, pets and wildlife while keeping debris out of your water. Pools of Fun offers custom safety cover solutions that fit your pool perfectly and withstand Indiana’s seasons.

What Is a Safety Cover?

A safety cover is a durable, tension‑mounted fabric anchored to your pool deck, designed to prevent accidental falls and keep the pool secure when not in use. Safety covers are typically made from reinforced vinyl or mesh and are engineered to hold significant weight in case someone or something ventures onto them. They’re custom‑cut for a precise fit and anchored with springs and brackets around the pool perimeter, creating a taut barrier that covers the water without sagging or touching the surface.

Benefits of Safety Covers

  • Accident Prevention: Safety covers provide a reliable barrier that can prevent kids, pets and wildlife from entering the pool when it’s closed.

  • Cleanliness: Unlike loose winter covers, safety covers keep debris, leaves and dirt out, reducing cleaning work in spring.

  • Durability: High‑quality safety covers withstand extreme weather and have a longer lifespan than traditional winter covers.

  • Water Conservation: Properly fitted covers reduce evaporation, saving water and maintaining chemical balance.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: When not in use, safety covers create a smooth, tidy appearance on your pool, enhancing your yard’s look.

  • Ease of Use: Though not as quick as automatic covers, safety covers are relatively easy to install and remove with the right tools.

Safety covers are a smart investment for families who prioritise protection and cleanliness.

Types of Safety Covers

Automatic covers are customized for your pool’s size and shape:

Mesh Safety Covers

Made from a tightly woven fabric that allows rain and melting snow to drain through while blocking debris. They are lighter and easier to handle but allow some sunlight through, which can promote algae growth.

 

 

Solid Safety Covers

Constructed from solid vinyl or heavy‑duty reinforced material that keeps out all light and water. They require a cover pump or drain panels to prevent water accumulation. Solid covers provide complete debris and algae protection but are heavier and require more maintenance for drainage.

Hybrid Covers

Combine features of both mesh and solid covers, allowing drainage through mesh panels while blocking most sunlight. They offer a balance of ease and protection.

We’ll help you choose the type that meets your safety and maintenance preferences.

FAQs About Safety Covers

Can I use my safety cover year‑round?

Safety covers are designed primarily for off‑season use. While they can be left on when the pool isn’t being used, they are not as convenient for daily opening and closing as automatic covers.

Yes. Safety covers are custom‑made to fit virtually any shape, including pools with raised walls, slides or waterfalls. We measure and fabricate accordingly.

With proper care, a high‑quality mesh cover can last 10–15 years; solid covers vary but typically last 7–10 years. Lifespan depends on material, climate exposure and maintenance.

Safety covers are primarily designed for inground pools. Above‑ground pools often use winter covers, though certain deck configurations may allow safety covers.

Initial installation requires precision, but once anchors are set, covers can be removed or installed with a cover tool. Solid covers are heavier but manageable with two people.
