Preformed Pool Cove
For Your Above Ground Pool
If you are installing your above ground swimming pool on concrete, or
indoors, I would strongly recommend using preformed pool cove. This type of pool cove
will not wash away when you hose down the pool area or when it rains. It
is not sharp and abrasive like sand. We use this type of pool cove on all
of the indoor display pools we set up each year.
Preformed pool cove is also a good choice when using a Styrofoam
base for your pool instead of sand or other base materials.
The foam can be laid down first and the coving placed on top of the
it around the outer edge.
This pool cove is sold in two
versions. Pick the one that is best for you. For pools
being installed on concrete or tile I prefer the pool cove that
snaps into the track. It is easier to work with, stays in
place better, and needs less taping. The adhesive backed
preformed pool cove is useful if you are installing a layer of foam
as a pool base. The foam can be between one and two inches
thick and is usually laid up against the pool wall, covering the
bottom track. The cove with the track snaps would be useless
without access to the bottom rails.
If you are installing your pool on concrete consider a pool pad
also as the concrete is to abrasive to lay the liner on directly.
The combination of a pool pad and the preformed pool cove make for
an ideal installation.
In The Swim carries the preformed pool cove and the pool pad in
many different sizes.
