Measure the inside wall of your pool

Measuring your pool for a swimming pool cover is simply measuring the length and width of your pool at water level or water line. If you have any step areas, then measure the step area separately as illustrated in the second diagram below. We can manufacture the swimming pool cover in one piece including the step because we weld our pool blankets across the pool. A further thing to remember with step areas is what side they are on relative to where you are standing eg. if you are standing at the shallow end, the step is on the left hand side.

What if my pool isn't square?

If the pool is not square, then best practice is to form a rectangle (trying to get approximately 90° corners)  around the pool with a length of string (rope, cord or even your garden hose). This rectangle will depict your swimming pool cover and give you maximum water level length and width. We supply oversize an additional 200mm on width and 300mm on length to allow for a little mismeasurement.

Note when cutting the swimming pool cover

Note: when cutting the swimming pool cover to shape, cut oversize and allow to settle for finesse trimming later. Remember what is cut off can never be put back on, so slow and steady and just take off small amounts until you reach the point where you are happy.
