Pools with a special shape – tips for your pool cushion

Our round and rectangular pool cushions are perfect for all standard round and rectangular above ground pools. If your pool has a special shape, we unfortunately cannot offer a customized solution. But don’t worry, here are a few tips on how you can still find a suitable pool cushion.

Large pools

For very large pools over 7 m in length, you can simply combine several pool cushions. Example: Two 4 x 4.5 m cushions for a 4 x 9 m pool. Please note that water pockets can form between two or more cushions. Therefore, stretch your pool cover tightly with a downward pull.

Oval pools

Oval pools can vary greatly in their dimensions and curves. This is how you should proceed to determine the right pool cushion:

• Determine where the curve of your pool begins (see red arrows)
• Now measure the rectangular area between these corner points (see gray area)
• First and foremost, take the length you have measured and choose the right rectangular pool cushion for it

Notes:

• It is not important that the pool cushion fills your pool completely. It is more important that the pool cover is taut and pulled downwards.
• Make sure that the cushion is not larger than your measured rectangle.
• The corners of the pool cushion should never protrude over the edge of the pool.

Eight-form pools

Eight-form pools are built in various designs. If there is a narrow “indentation” in the middle, two round pool cushions can be used. If the narrow area is less pronounced, a large square pool cushion is the better choice. Here is a procedure for determining the right pool cushion:

• Does your eight-shaped pool have a “wide narrow section” and resemble an oval pool? – Choose a rectangular pool cushion (see graphic)
• Does your eight-shaped pool have a “narrow constriction” and two clearly separated circular shapes? – Choose two round pool cushions (see diagram)

In any case, make sure that the pool cushion is approx. 20 cm away from the pool edge to prevent damage to the cushion.

Remember: it is not crucial that the cushion completely fills your pool. It is more important to stretch the pool cover tightly downwards. This is the best way to prevent puddles on the pool cover.
