Swimming Pool covers
Has anyone had any experience with a swimming pool net, not a blanket/cover to keep it warm but the net type that you clip around the pool to stop leaves etc blowing in?
I want to stick something over it for the winter so I dont have to keep raking it out emptying the Kreepy filter boxes.
I was going to go for a proper blanket but the size of the roller we'd need was about 7.5M to cover the width
and bar leave it across the pool there was no where easy to move it to once the blanket is on it that wouldnt be totally in the way and unsightly. or involve trying to lift it up to a different level.
Cant seem to find many places that sell the nets, anyone have any ideas?

Re: Swimming Pool covers
Looks like the winter cover is as expensive as the solar jobby I've been quoted for.
Back to my bubblewrap solution again.

Re: Swimming Pool covers
PM me your pool measurements and I will do you 10% off a Daisy Blanket and/or roller, there is $100 back from the government too on a waterwise rebate...
7.5m sounds very large is the pool irregular?
We sell nets too BTW
Cheers
