A custom pool cover starts with the pool—and the surfaces around it. 📏🍂
We installed this Anchor Industries Defender Mesh pool cover in Tan in St. Charles, MO.
One detail you might not notice in the finished photos: this pool had ground tubes around the entire cover, with different lengths in different areas:
▪️ 9-inch tubes in the pavers
▪️ 15-inch tubes in the planter area
Why does that matter? Planning a pool cover involves more than its shape and size. The surrounding pavers, landscaping, and anchor locations also need to be considered when planning how the cover attaches.
These tube lengths were used on this particular pool; each installation needs its own assessment.
Swipe through to see how the cover fits around the pool’s layout and landscaped edges.
