Never put a rectangle safety cover over a formfit type swimming pool. This scenario would create too much material lying directly on the deck around the swimming pool which can cause excess and extreme wear over a matter of months. A rectangle cover over a freeform pool will also not get the proper tensioning required to maintain safety standards. All warranties are void if you use a rectangle cover over a freeform pool.

Once the pool is measured properly, the second most important requirement for safety covers is the actual installation of the cover. Professional Swimming pool technicians are trained as to how far back and between the anchors must be placed in order to ensure proper tensioning.
