What it involves

The right cover changes the way you use a pool: it extends swimming into spring and autumn, slows evaporation in high summer, keeps out leaves, dust and sand and prevents scares with children and pets. We work with every type: high telescopic enclosures you can swim under, low telescopic enclosures that are barely visible from the terrace, automatic slatted covers that close with the turn of a key, winter covers, bar safety covers and solar bubble covers for the summer.

They are requested by villa owners who want to start the season earlier, holiday home owners whose houses stay shut for weeks, families with young children or dogs, and communities that want to close the pool without it turning into a pond before the next opening. If your pool has a heat pump, a cover makes it use considerably less energy.

The job includes a site visit and measurement of the pool and the deck, choosing the model to suit your use and your garden, made-to-measure manufacture, installation with rails, anchors or a roller, and a clear explanation of how to open, close and clean it. We also repair and renew covers you already have: wheels, panels, slats and sheets.

Pool enclosures and covers: jobs we do

These are the jobs we are asked for most around the province. If yours looks like one of them, call us and we will tell you how we would handle it.

High telescopic pool enclosure for swimming almost all year round

A high telescopic enclosure turns your pool into an enclosed space tall enough to stand and swim in, with aluminium and polycarbonate sections that slide over one another and stack at one end. When it is closed, the sun warms the air and the water just like a greenhouse, so the season starts earlier and ends later, and if you have a heat pump it works far less. We design it with side or front doors, opening windows for ventilation on hot days and the height your garden calls for. First we check the pool deck, because the rails or wheels need firm, level support all the way around the pool.

Low telescopic pool enclosure

A low enclosure sits just above the water and can hardly be seen from the house, which is why it is the most requested option on plots with sea views and on urbanisations where the community does not want tall structures. It keeps out leaves, dust and insects, cuts evaporation dramatically and gains heat from the sun, although you cannot swim while it is closed. The sections open by hand in no time and stack at the far end or along one side, and because it offers little surface to the wind it copes better with levante storms. We make it in clear or tinted polycarbonate with powder-coated frames in the colour of your choice.

Automatic slatted pool cover

Floating PVC or polycarbonate slats roll onto a motorised shaft and cover the pool at the turn of a key or the press of a button, with no effort and no sheets left lying on the lawn. When closed, the cover rests on the water, slows evaporation, keeps dirt out and forms a barrier that stops a child or a dog from falling into the pool. The roller can sit on the deck, be hidden inside a masonry or timber bench at one end, or be submerged in a pit separated by a wall, which is the neatest solution when it is planned into a new pool build. We fit the slats to your pool and protect the motor from damp.

Pool safety cover for homes with children and pets

If you have young children, visiting grandchildren or dogs that wander up to the edge, a bar safety cover is the most practical protection for the months when the pool is not in use. It is a heavy-duty sheet stretched over aluminium bars resting on the coping, so if someone steps on it, it does not sink or trap them. It rolls up on a hand-crank reel and is secured with tensioners anchored to the deck. It has a drainage panel so rain does not collect on top, and we make it to the exact size of your pool. We show you how to tension it properly, because a slack cover loses its purpose, and it always goes hand in hand with supervision, never replaces it.

Winter pool cover

A winter cover is an opaque sheet stretched over the water when you close the pool for the season. By blocking the light it holds back algae, and because it is micro-perforated or has a drain, rain passes through without puddles forming on top. It stops pine needles, branches, sand and the mud left by calima rain, so in spring the water is still usable and there is no need to empty the pool. We cut it to measure, including for freeform pools or pools with Roman steps, and fix it with elastic tensioners and discreet anchors that sit almost flush with the deck when the cover is off. Winterising the water is coordinated with your pool maintenance.

More jobs in this service

  • Solar bubble cover for the pool in summer

    A bubble cover floats on the water, captures the sun's heat during the day and holds it in overnight, which is when the pool cools down the most. It also slows evaporation in the hottest months. We cut it to the size of your pool, with finished edges so it lasts longer.

  • Pool cover roller to take the solar cover on and off easily

    A wet cover is heavy and awkward to handle even with two people. We install fixed rollers with brackets anchored to the deck or mobile ones on wheels, hand-cranked or motorised, so one person can roll it up in moments and store it under its protective sleeve when it is not in use.

  • Pool cover to save water during a drought

    When there are water restrictions and refilling pools is not allowed, every centimetre lost to evaporation counts. A slatted cover, a low telescopic enclosure or a well-fitted solar cover greatly reduces evaporation losses and helps you reach the end of summer without topping up.

  • Telescopic pool enclosure against the house wall

    When the pool sits right next to the house or a wall, an asymmetric enclosure rests one side against the wall and leaves the rest of the garden free. You make better use of the space and gain a covered area beside the house. We measure the wall and check how to anchor it before we build it.

  • Telescopic pool enclosure without rails on the pool deck

    If you do not want rails on the ground, the enclosure can run on rubber wheels resting directly on the deck, leaving the paving clear when it is open. For that the surface must be firm and level; if there are uneven spots, we suggest how to correct them before installation.

  • Motorising a telescopic pool enclosure

    On large or tall enclosures, moving the sections by hand is hard work and they end up always open or always closed. We add a motorised system that moves the sections with a remote or a push button, with end stops and safety cut-outs, including on enclosures you already have.

  • Solar slatted pool cover to heat the water

    Clear twin-wall polycarbonate slats let the sun's radiation through and trap the heat in the water, like a solar cover but with the convenience of an automatic cover. They are our choice when you want a longer season without relying solely on pool heating.

  • Cover for an infinity pool

    On an infinity pool the cover has to work with the edge the water spills over. We install automatic slatted covers with the roller hidden in a submerged pit, which close over the water surface and do not spoil the view from the terrace when the pool is open.

  • Made-to-measure cover for a freeform or kidney-shaped pool

    Curved pools, kidney shapes or pools with Roman steps will not take just any cover. We template the pool point by point and make winter covers, safety covers and solar covers that follow the true shape of the edge, with no folds or gaps for dirt to get in.

  • Community pool cover for the off-season

    Communities that close their pool in autumn gain peace of mind with a large-format winter or safety cover: the water stays clean until the next opening and the risk of falls is reduced while nobody is supervising. We measure, make and install it, and leave the caretaker instructions for putting it on and taking it off.

  • Pool cover for a holiday home that stays closed for weeks

    If you only come to your home on the coast for a few weeks a year, a closed cover stops the pool filling with leaves, dust and insects while you are away and protects anyone who might enter the property. Combined with regular pool maintenance, the water is ready when you arrive.

  • Telescopic pool enclosure repair: wheels, rails and polycarbonate

    Sun and salt wear down the wheels, the rails fill with sand and some polycarbonate panels crack or turn yellow. We repair existing telescopic enclosures: we replace wheels, seals and locks, swap damaged panels, straighten frames and adjust the sections so they slide smoothly again.

  • Replacing broken or yellowed slats on an automatic pool cover

    Slats eventually give in to the sun: they crack, build up limescale or lose buoyancy if water gets inside. We replace just the damaged slats or the whole blanket, check the shaft, brackets and motor, and leave the cover rolling straight and closing without gaps again.

  • Replacing the sheet on a winter or safety pool cover

    A faded or torn sheet, or one with worn-out tensioners, no longer closes properly or protects. We make a new sheet to the old one's measurements or template the pool again, reuse any anchors in good condition and replace damaged springs, buckles and bars.

What you get with us

  • Made to measure for your pool

    We measure up at your home, with the real shape of the pool, the deck and any changes in level, and build the cover for that space instead of adapting a standard model.

  • Fixed written quote

    Before we start you know which cover you will get, what materials it uses, what the installation includes and what it costs, with no items added later.

  • Installation designed for the levante and salt air

    We use powder-coated aluminium frames, stainless steel fixings and anchors suited to each type of paving so the cover withstands the wind and the salty coastal air.

  • English, Spanish and German spoken

    If you live abroad part of the year or prefer to talk in your own language, we explain the options, the quote and how to use the cover in English, Spanish or German.

How we do it, step by step

  1. Site visit and pool measurement

    We look at the pool, the deck, the access, the space to stack the cover and the power supply if it is motorised, and talk about how and when you use the pool.

  2. Choosing the type of cover

    We suggest the model that suits your use, your garden and the rules of your urbanisation, and give you a fully itemised quote.

  3. Made-to-measure manufacture

    We make the sections, slats or sheet to the measurements taken and prepare the rails, anchors or roller the installation needs.

  4. Installation and adjustment

    We fit the cover, level it, fix the rails or tensioners and check that it opens, closes and locks properly along its full length.

  5. Handover and user tips

    We show you how to open, close and clean it, and explain what to check after a storm or a summer of strong sun.

Pool enclosures and covers in Alicante province

In the province of Alicante a pool cover works harder than almost anywhere else. The Costa Blanca sun warms the water under a telescopic enclosure even in winter, so you can swim in months when pools in inland Spain are closed, but it also means ventilating it in summer so the water does not overheat. During droughts, when filling pools is restricted, covering the water is the most direct way to stop losing it to evaporation. And on hillside urbanisations with pine trees, a winter cover really earns its keep against pine needles and the mud left by calima rain.

On the seafront the challenge is different: the levante pushes hard against tall enclosures and salt air attacks screws, wheels and frames. That is why we choose powder-coated aluminium, stainless steel fixings and anchors suited to the paving of each pool deck, and in very exposed spots we recommend low or slatted covers. Hard water leaves white limescale rings on slats and polycarbonate, so we explain how to clean them without scratching. Many British, German and Scandinavian owners in Calpe, Jávea or Dénia spend months away: for them, a well-anchored cover that can ride out a gota fría storm with nobody home gives the greatest peace of mind.

Where we do it

Swimming pools in Elche and Santa Pola

The Camp d'Elx, with its houses among pomegranate orchards and palm trees, and the coast from Arenales del Sol to Santa Pola call for very different pools. We build in the countryside, renovate villas and look after the water for people who only spend part of the year here.

Elche · Perleta · Maitino · Algorós

Swimming pools in Calpe, Jávea and Dénia

Seventies villas whose pools are crying out for a renovation, rocky plots in Cumbre del Sol and holiday rentals in Jávea and Dénia. We build, restore and maintain pools right across the Marina Alta, from Calpe to Pedreguer, with fixed visit days even if you live abroad.

Calp · Maryvilla · Benissa Costa · La Fustera

Swimming pools in the Vinalopó and inland Alicante

Inland, summers are scorching, but winters bring frost and the water comes out full of limescale. We build and renovate pools in the Vinalopó, the Foia de Castalla and l'Alcoià with all that in mind: well-protected pools, heating to extend the season and equipment ready for the cold.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most about pool enclosures and covers.

Pool enclosures and covers: your questions

How much does a telescopic pool enclosure extend the swimming season?

It depends on the orientation, the height of the enclosure and whether the pool has a heat pump. On the Alicante coast, with a high telescopic enclosure facing the sun, many people swim from spring until well into autumn without heating, and with a heat pump the pool can be used almost all year round with much lower energy use than an uncovered pool. A low enclosure also gains heat, although you cannot swim while it is closed.

Which pool cover is safest if I have young children?

The ones that form a firm barrier: a fully closed automatic slatted cover and a properly tensioned bar safety cover, both designed to bear the weight of a child or a dog without sinking. A solar bubble cover and a winter cover with elastic tensioners are not safety covers, and a child who climbs onto one can sink with it. No cover replaces adult supervision, but it does greatly reduce the risk when the pool is not in use.

Do I need permission to install a high telescopic pool enclosure?

It depends on the town council and, if you live on an urbanisation, on what its statutes say about structures and heights. Some councils process a high enclosure as minor works or with a prior notification, while low, slatted or winter covers rarely raise questions. We help you with the paperwork for the cover you want to install and liaise with your architect or engineer when it needs to be submitted.

Can an automatic slatted cover be fitted to an existing pool?

Yes. On existing pools the usual approach is to install the roller on the deck at one end of the pool and hide it inside a bench that also doubles as seating by the water. If you are renovating the pool, a pit with a dividing wall can be built so the shaft is submerged and completely out of sight; that is planned together with the renovation work. Either way, we measure the pool to make slats that fit exactly.

How do you clean a pool cover with coastal salt and limescale?

With fresh water and a neutral soap, rinsing well and using a sponge or a soft brush; no scourers or solvents, which scratch polycarbonate and slats. On the seafront it is worth rinsing frames and wheels every few weeks to remove the salt, and checking screws and rails after a levante storm. Limescale rings on slats come off much more easily if you clean them often, before they harden.
