A pool cover traps heat, keeping the water warm and making your heater more efficient, and it keeps your pool clean. Some pool covers are also intended for a more important purpose – to provide safety and peace of mind by preventing children and pets from falling through.<\/p>\n
Many pool covers run on a track and are operated electronically with the touch of a button. Or, you can save a substantial amount of money by purchasing a manual cover. There are several types of manual covers, including:<\/p>\n
Manual solar covers, leaf nets and winter covers are relatively inexpensive, ranging from about $50<\/strong> for a small pool to $500<\/strong> for a large pool with a custom shape. However, they can be lightweight and may not prevent children from falling through.<\/p>\n Safety covers are more expensive – about $1,000 to $3,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n Automatic pool coves are the priciest option, ranging from about $1,500 to $5,000.<\/strong> In some cases, automatic pool covers with top-notch safety features cost as much as $8,000.<\/strong> However, the convenience justifies the cost for some pool owners.<\/p>\n

\n <\/ul>\n Pool fences are excellent for safety, too. Parents rely on them to prevent their children and pets from falling into the pool. Even homeowners without children use them to keep neighborhood kids from accessing the pool.<\/p>\n Pool fences surround just the perimeter of the pool, not the entire yard. Commonly made of a lightweight mesh material, they are designed for quick setup and takedown. Mesh pool fences are usually climb-resistant, and they\u2019re available in a wide variety of heights and colors.<\/p>\n Some pool owners choose to build permanent fence made of wood, vinyl, aluminum or glass around the pool. These are not removable, but some people appreciate the extra privacy and security they provide.<\/p>\n A removable mesh pool fence costs anywhere from $500 to $2,000,<\/strong> or about $15 to $20 per linear square foot<\/strong>. Based on the average pool size, most consumers can expect to pay $1,100 to $1,500.<\/strong><\/p>\n Permanent pool fences vary widely in price depending on materials used, length and height. Budget about $10 to $30 per linear foot<\/strong> for a wooden fence, depending on the quality of the wood. Chain link fences are $8 to $12 per linear foot, while aluminum and vinyl cost about $25 to $40 per linear foot. <\/strong><\/p>\n
