What is a Safety Cover
Safety covers are woven mesh, or solid vinyl, that secures to your pool deck with straps to anchors. The straps are approximately five feet apart around the entire perimeter of your pool. The anchors are permanently installed into the surface around the pool and the straps from the cover hook to the anchors.
Safety covers prevent accidental drownings and also provide extra protection for kids, pets, and neighbors. Additionally, safety covers prevent debris, dirt, and leaves from entering the pool. They also help prevent algae from growing in your pool once the temperature rises again in the spring. They also improve the appearance of your pool area during the offseason.
Water bag covers on the other hand are extremely dangerous, especially for families with children and pets. It is recommended that you have a fence around your pool if you use a water bag cover. The cover itself is a tarp and it is secured with water bags, but this can get expensive because you replace both the tarp cover and water bags often. The cover will rip just from the weight of water on top and the water bags pop, sometimes for no reason at all.
If the water bags break, or fall in the pool, you risk the cover falling in. This is bad because most covers have leaves and dirt and other debris that you don’t want at the bottom of your pool. If something heavy or sharp falls into a pool with a tarp cover, the liner could get damaged. Replacement liners aren’t cheap and no one wants to replace a liner until you absolutely have to.

Why a Safety Cover
- Access control. A safety cover prevents children and pets from getting into the pool.
- Protection of the pool. Having a safety cover in place keeps dirt and leaves out, which protects the pool from potential damage and makes opening the pool go smoothly.
- Neat appearance. Safety covers look neat and finished when secured in place. Water bag covers look dirty and messy after a few rains.
- Excellent fit. A safety cover is custom made to fit features like raised walls, spas, or waterfalls.
- Durability. A safety cover is strong and durable, and will last much longer than a tarp and water bags
- Cost-effectiveness. While the initial cost may be more than a water bag cover, it is a priceless investment to protect your pool and family.

Pool Openings
After evaluating the free estimate provided by The Three Cousins you have decided to put down a deposit and move forward with a safety cover. Excellent decision! The cover will be custom made for your pool, so it can take a few weeks to make.
The sooner you order, the better. A trained professional will come to your house and measure the pool.
They will also determine if the surrounding area is cement, pavers, grass, etc to determine the installation hardware needed. The small brass anchors are used for cement while pipe anchors are used for pavers.
We also have other hardware for gardens, rock walls, steps, and whatever custom elements your pool may have.
