Polar 525-Micron Eco Friendly Swimming Pool Cover

Measuring your pool cover to ensure it suits your pool size involves a few straightforward steps. The process may vary slightly depending on the shape of your pool (e.g., rectangular, oval, round, or custom shapes). Here’s a general guide:

For Rectangular or Square Pools:

1. Measure the Length and Width: Use a measuring tape to measure the length and width of your pool from edge to edge. It’s important to measure from the inside of the pool walls to get the most accurate dimensions.
2. Add Extra for the Overhang: It’s recommended to have an overhang of about 2-3 feet on all sides. This extra space ensures the cover can adequately secure around the pool. So, add 4-6 feet to both the length and the width measurements.
3. Consider the Pool’s Corners: If your pool has rounded corners, you may need to adjust the size slightly to ensure the cover fits well.

For Oval or Round Pools:

1. Measure the Diameter (for Round) or Length and Width (for Oval): For round pools, measure the diameter across the widest part of the pool. For oval pools, measure the longest length and the widest width.
2. Add Extra for the Overhang: Like with rectangular pools, add an additional 2-3 feet around the entire perimeter (or diameter for round pools) for the overhang.

For Pools with Unique Shapes or Features:

1. Sketch the Pool: If your pool has a unique shape or features like steps, a spa, or irregular edges, sketch out the pool’s perimeter on a piece of paper.
2. Measurements: Measure the widest and longest points of the pool, including any special features. You may need to break down the pool into sections to measure more accurately.
3. Consult with Professionals: For complex shapes, it might be beneficial to consult with a professional or a pool cover supplier who can provide guidance on the best way to measure and order a cover.
