How Long Does a Pool Cover Last?
When it comes to investing in a pool, it's important to know the life expectancy of its components and the replacement costs. The life expectancy of a pool cover varies greatly depending on the type and brand of cover you purchase. Cheaper covers may last only one season, while expensive brands can last from 3 to 7 years. Winter covers typically last 3 to 5 years, while solid safety covers can last 6 to 10 years. Mesh covers are usually more durable than solid covers, but they allow water to pass through, making the pool water dirtier when it's time to open it in spring. Concrete pool covers offer greater durability than other materials, but they need to be re-coated and re-laid every 25 years. Vinyl siding is an affordable option, but its lifespan is less than half that of concrete covers. Solar covers have an insulating property that is more effective in controlling and maintaining temperature. To make sure your pool cover lasts longer, invest in quality materials and take special care to maintain its integrity.
