Choosing the right size for your pool cushions and pool cover is essential to ensure your pool is optimally protected. Here, you’ll learn how to find the right combination of pool cushions and a pool cover, and what factors you should consider.
Pool Covers – Tips on Choosing the Right Size
Our size recommendations are intended as a guide only. With a few minor adjustments, you can tailor the combination of pool cover and pool cushions to fit your pool perfectly.
As a general guideline: If you’re using a pool cushion, choose a cover that’s about 1โ1.5 m larger than your pool’s dimensions.
Why aren’t there any specific size recommendations?
Every pool is a little different, and even small variations in the water level or the inflation level of the pool cushion can, when combined, affect the fit.
For this reason, our recommendations regarding the combination of pool covers and pool cushions are intended as guidelines only. They provide a good guide, but cannot take every individual pool situation into account.
If the tarp seems a little tighter or looser than expected when you first set it up, you can usually adjust it quite easily:
- Inflate the pool float a little more or a little less
- Adjust the water level slightly, if possible
- Tighten the tarp evenly and align it properly
Our tip for the perfect combination
If you’re using a pool cushion, choose a cover that’s about 1โ1.5 m larger than your pool’s dimensions.
