Merlin Safety Cover
We get questions all the time about how we cover the crazy pools we build for the winter weather. It’s pretty simple (now that we’ve done it a few dozen times on complicated and crazy pools.) We measure the pool exactly and tell the cover designer – in this case Merlin – where we want the cutouts/straps and how we’d like to address each feature like the spa, bridge, sunshelf, dock, waterfall/grotto and in this case how to go around a Chris Craft Boat built into the side of the pool. The result is a safely covered pool – that looks like an oasis just waiting for some summer fun!
Side note for Merlin – the pool guy says this is the best fitting cover we’ve ever done!
