When should you choose a HDPE pool cover?

The ideal compromise for small budgets! HDPE pool covers offer excellent value for money. Used for both above-ground and in-ground pools, it can cover and protect the bottom of an inflatable pool, for example, or protect the water in your in-ground pool from dead leaves and other dirt. HDPE pool covers generally have a maximum grammage of 250 g/m²: they are resistant to outdoor exposure and use for around 2 years, before needing to be renewed.

In which cases choose the PVC pool cover:

PVC pool cover is a safe and sustainable investment! More expensive to buy than a HDPE tarpaulin, its lifespan is much longer: about 10 years! Particularly resistant, it is both tear-proof and rot-proof. Treated anti-UV, it has many essential assets to withstand climatic conditions and protect your pool regardless of the context of use.


Unlike HDPE tarpaulins for which tailor-made is not possible, the PVC tarpaulin is 100% customizable. You do not find, among the standard dimensions in catalog, the ideal size adapted to that of your basin? Contact us and send us your specific request.

In which cases choose the pool cover with flow net:

Finally, there are pool covers with flow net, they are more convenient for installation because they are already pre-cut and adjusted to the size of your pool. However the quality of this tarpaulin is lower than that of a 250G tarpaulin. Indeed, pool tarpaulins with flow net are only 140g/ m². But used in the right context, it will last at least 2 years. What makes this tarpaulin one of the most popular items of the site is its function "with the flow net" that allows water to flow during the weather.
