Pool Safety Cover Cost Guide (2026)
If you're budgeting for a mesh safety cover this year, here's a straightforward breakdown of what affects the price — and what you should expect to pay for a properly fitted, ASTM-compliant cover in Canada.
What Determines the Price of a Safety Cover
● Pool size — larger surface areas require more mesh, more hardware, and more anchors.
● Shape complexity — standard rectangles are the most affordable; kidney, Roman, Grecian, and freeform shapes require custom patterning and cost more.
● Color and mesh grade — some colors and mesh weights are priced slightly differently depending on availability.
● Steps, ladders, and cutouts — any feature that needs a cutout in the cover adds to the custom work involved.
Typical Price Ranges
Standard rectangle pools up to roughly 16' x 32' typically start from around $1,500 and scale up with size. Custom shapes are quoted individually once we have your measurements, since every kidney, Roman, or freeform pool is a little different.
What's Included at That Price
● The mesh cover itself, cut and finished for your pool's dimensions
● Stainless steel springs (vinyl-covered) and buckles
● Brass anchors and anchor key
● Tamping tool for installation
● Mesh storage bag
● Manufacturer warranty (see our Warranty page for full terms)
Is a Safety Cover Worth the Cost?
Compared to the ongoing cost of pool chemicals, spring cleanup labor, and potential liability exposure from an unsecured pool, most homeowners recover the cost of a safety cover within a few seasons through reduced maintenance alone.
