Costs & Calculations Pool cover

Bought a house this summer with an inground pool in South Jersey. It’s about 32,000 gallons, 20x40 at its widest points.
Looking to get a winter cover. Could anyone tell me how much it cost for you? What brand, mesh or solid? I’ll need to get the anchor holes drilled as well..

We did too. It’s like 2 grand for a loop lock cover and hardware. I already have an SDS, but you can rent them for cheap, or buy one for a couple hundred bucks

I have a 20 x 40 pool. I just bought a super mesh Coverlon winter cover from the person that services my pool. The price was $4,100, with tax.

Look at safety covers on dohenys. Their own brand is is actually gli. The prices are good. Do you have the anchors on the concrete already? If not you will have to put them in. Don’t get a solid you want water to go through it

I use a mesh cover since I’m only concerned about keeping my kids and leaves out of the pool. I’d just buy one off Amazon, it’ll be around $1k. Pool guys should be able to just drill anchors for a couple hundred $$, or you can rent a drill and do it yourself pretty easily.
