Use a swimming pool cover
1) Remove the winter debris pool cover from its storage bag at one end of the pool, making sure that the cover is the right way up (i.e. anti-chafing strips against the coping stones. Pull the cover over the pool.
For non-symmetrical shaped pools, orientate the cover so that it follows the shape of the pool. The cover is manufactured 1ft larger than the pool all round and will temporarily float on the water surface, so allowing it to be positioned centrally over the pool.
2) Lay the anchor straps out flat on the pool surround and drill a 6mm holes vertically into the pool surround at each strap position, 30 degrees from the edge of the pool.
Apart from the four corner straps, the anchor straps are designed to lie 90 degrees to the cover edge. The corner straps lie at 135 degrees to the edges of the cover.
3) Starting at one end, buckle the stainless steel spring anchors to the anchor strap and pin the “P” anchors into the holes previously drilled in the pool surround. Repeat this operation at the other end of the pool, tensioning the winter pool cover using the spring anchor buckles. Repeat along the sides of the pool.
