What are the different types of pool covers?

If you are looking to invest in an outdoor pool cover, perhaps you are a first-time buyer, or maybe you’re looking to upgrade your current pool cover. There are many advantages of installing a pool cover: but with so many options available, it can be hard deciding the right one for you.

What are the different types of pool covers?

When choosing a pool cover, you need to bear in mind factors such as size, location, budget and safety features. As specialists in bespoke high-end pool designs and stunning pool enclosures at Endless Summer, we are the one-stop solution to suit a range of requirements. From lower-cost models to feature-rich covers, we’re here to explain the different options of pool covers available, and help you make an informed decision.

Manual safety pool cover

For those who require the safety, insulation and protection that pool covers provide at a lower budget, a Coverstar manual safety pool cover provides great protection at a reduced cost. As the name suggests, these pool covers are operated manually and are suitable for both in- and above-ground units. With a manual safety pool cover, you can open and close your pool cover whenever you wish, without having it set to an automatic setting. At Endless Summer, our Walu pool covers feature a modular design with individual panels which can be easily replaced if damaged. Affordable and versatile, manual pool covers can integrate easily into any design and are available in many different sizes.

Automatic safety pool cover

For those who desire more flexibility and ease when it comes to operating their pool cover, consider opting for an automatic design. Automatic covers contain discreet mechanisms that allow the cover to be opened or closed at the touch of a remote control. These are particularly worthwhile options for families or those with young children or pets; having automatic pool safety at your fingertips can provide that extra peace of mind. Our automatic covers feature advanced and durable vinyl fabric to blend seamlessly into your space, alongside optional security features like a keypad PIN control panel.

Automatic slatted pool covers

If your priority when choosing a pool cover is reducing your energy consumption, then an Roldeck automatic slatted cover may be the perfect option. Our slatted covers feature an energy-saving slat design which can reduce heat loss from the pool by up to 60%. There are many slatted options available, including impact-resistant and insulating PVC slats which can transfer the sun’s heat into the pool.

Each of our pool covers provide unique features to suit each requirement. We help customers decide on their main priorities when installing a pool cover, whether it's energy-saving or child safety. With each of our covers made with the highest-quality features, we guarantee a premium user experience built with materials designed to last for years to come.
