FREEFORM COVERS
Freeform safety covers are installed the same as
standard rectangular covers, freeform covers have
an 18” overlap. When initially aligning the cover
make sure the overlap is equal on all sides.
It can be diffi cult to follow anchor installation
sequence, remember to install center straps along
length and width fi rst. then work your way around
pool alternating sides and securing cover to anchor
as installed.
WOOD DECK ANCHORS
Install wood deck anchors by drilling a 1 1/2” hole
to a depth of 1/8” with a paddle bit.
Then drill a 3/4” hole in the center of the fi rst
hole to a depth of 1”.
Insert the wood deck anchor into the hole so that
the wide part is fl ush with deck. Lastly, screw brass
screw into the four holes to secure anchor.
RAISED WALLS
Raised walls require hardware that keeps the cover
fl ush against the wall. To accomplish this a steel
cable is used along the wall inside foam along the
edge of the cover and is secured by springs on
either end of the raised wall.
First drill 5/8” hole into the raised wall where the
snap hooks on underside of cover line up to eye-
bolt
(always check with builder of raised wall to assure
that drilling will not damage surface of wall).
Snap hooks to eyebolts and attach cable at ends
where it meets deck.
CUSTOM DECK SURFACES
Brick, stone, pavers or lawn surfaces require
additional support for the anchors to maintain
tension.
Locate your anchor holes as usual, then drill a
7/8” hole through the brick, stone or pavers 18”.
Insert brass anchor into tube, and hammer the
tube into the hole until anchor is fl ush with
the surface.
Attach spring to anchor to install cover.
