✅ Tools You’ll Need:
-
A measuring tape (at least as long as the pool’s width)
-
Chalk, string, or masking tape (for marking)
-
Notepad & pen (to record measurements)
-
A helper (recommended for larger pools)
📏 Step 1: Measure Pool Dimensions
-
Length: Measure the longest distance, inside edge to inside edge.
-
Width: Measure the widest distance, inside edge to inside edge.
-
If your pool is not rectangular (kidney, oval, freeform, L-shape):
-
Measure the longest and widest points.
-
Take additional notes on curves, steps, or unique features.
📐 Step 2: Note Step Sections & Add-ons
-
Steps, spas, or attached features:
-
Raised walls, ladders, or diving boards:
🔒 Step 3: Deck Surface Check
-
Measure the deck width around the pool (minimum 3 feet recommended).
-
Note the material (concrete, wood, pavers) for anchor compatibility.
📍 Step 4: Mark Anchor Points
-
Most safety covers require anchors every 3–5 feet around the pool.
-
Mark possible anchor spots, avoiding obstacles like planters or furniture.
🖊️ Step 5: Draw a Sketch
-
Create a simple top-view drawing of your pool.
-
Write down all measurements, step locations, ladders, and obstructions.
-
Label length (L), width (W), and any special notes for a perfect fit.
⚠️ Pro Tips:
-
Always measure twice to confirm accuracy.
-
Round up to the nearest inch (covers are built with overlap).
-
Custom covers include extra material (typically 12–18 inches overlap) to secure onto the deck.
✅ Once complete, send your measurements and sketch to Advanced Textiles for a custom safety cover tailored exactly to your pool.
