Safety pool cover installation instructions

Because wood can rot, or soften with age, a Wood Deck Anchor is used, which has a wide flange on the top of the anchor, to protect the deck and hold the cover securely with more lateral strength.

Drop the Wood Anchor into the hole, and then screw in the brass flange screws, using a 2 Phillips screw head. Now you can understand why I suggest using more than one drill!

Can you use concrete anchors in a wooden pool deck? The brass concrete anchor is the most common type of safety cover pin used. A sharp, new bit will cut a clean hole; dull drill bits will cause more chipping of concrete around the hole, and can also take twice as long to drill the hole. Hold on tightly to the drill which may jump if you hit some steel mesh or large piece of aggregate in the deck. Be sure to hold the drill perpendicular to the deck, to create a vertical hole. After drilling the hole, remove the dust with a blower, wet-dry vac or with a garden hose.

Anchor points should be located 18" from the edge of the cover not the edge of the pool and in line exactly with the strap. See page 3 for anchor installation instructions. Decks made with brick or stone require a steel sleeve to support anchors. When installing a cover with a raised area, this section of the cover must be installed first. Walls, waterfalls, or elevated spas must be treated specially since there is no deck available to secure an anchor.

Eyebolts will be needed to install a cover in these areas and are not supplied. Due to the many different possibilities, the specific eyebolt necessary must be determined on site. Locate the section of the cover showing no straps. You will find a d-ring with a carabineer under the edge of the cover. Stretch the cover over the pool making sure that it is positioned correctly in the raised wall area. Use buckets of water to hold the cover in place around the pool.

Adjust for exact overlap on all sides with sufficient deck. Remember, there will be no overlap in raised wall area. Determine where the eyebolts will be drilled into the obstruction based on the carabineer locations. Install eyebolts as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Snap the cover to the eyebolts and then proceed with the standard installation for the rest of the cover. Have an existing cover than needs fixing or replacing? Try Copy Covers!
