Pool Cover Installation
in Roodepoort
Custom measured, sourced, and fitted. Solid covers, thermal blankets, slatted covers, and SANS 10134 safety nets. From measurement to installation, handled by our own team.
What's Included
From the first measurement to the final fitting. We handle the full process, including repairs on existing covers.
On-site Measurement
We come to your property and measure your pool's exact dimensions. Free of charge. No standard pool is truly standard, so we measure every one.
Custom Orders
Your cover is made to your pool's exact shape and size. Not off-the-shelf. Custom ordered, cut, and finished to fit perfectly.
Professional Installation
Fitted by our own team. Anchors drilled, tracks aligned, tension set correctly. Proper installation means your cover lasts years longer.
Safety Net Fitting (SANS 10134)
Compliant safety nets that meet SANS 10134 requirements. Essential where children have access to the pool area. Professionally anchored and tensioned.
Thermal Blanket Fitting
Bubble blankets and thermal covers that reduce evaporation, retain heat, and keep debris out. Cut to size with roller systems available.
Repairs and Re-covering
Existing cover damaged or worn? We repair tears, replace worn panels, re-tension safety nets, and re-cover frames. Often cheaper than full replacement.

Pool Cover FAQ
How much does a pool cover cost?
Every pool is different, so we quote after measuring yours on-site. The price depends on pool size, shape, cover type (thermal, PVC, slatted, safety net), and access. The measurement and quote are free. WhatsApp us to book.
How long does installation take?
From measurement to installation, expect 1 to 3 weeks. The measurement visit takes about 30 minutes. Production takes 1 to 2 weeks depending on the cover type. Installation itself is typically done in half a day.
Do pool covers need a compliance certificate?
Safety nets and covers used as safety barriers must comply with SANS 10134 if children under 5 have access to the pool area. This is a legal requirement in South Africa. Our safety nets meet this standard and we can advise on what your property needs.
Can you repair my existing pool cover?
Yes. We repair tears, replace damaged panels, re-tension safety nets, and re-cover existing frames. Bring us photos on WhatsApp and we can give you a rough idea of cost before booking a site visit. Repairs are often significantly cheaper than full replacement.
