How much does it cost to install a loop loc swimming pool cover?

Question:my pool is average size and shape. What would it cost for parts and labor?

Answers:
It depends on your pool. Loop-Loc, or a Generic version from Meyco, all need to be measured. If you have any sort of freeform pool, you will need to have the pool measured to be "fit" for a safety cover. The only true exception to this is if you have a standard rectangular pool 18X36 or 20X40. A loop loc is a BIG investment. The more curves and angles and such you have for your pool the more the cover will cost.

As for parts, when you buy a loop loc cover, you will get all the anchors, and a tension bar to put the cover onto the anchors <you only need the bar for about half the pool. when you are really tightening the cover>

The anchors need a 3/4" drill bit to drill a hole into your concrete deck where the anchor will be installed, once the hole is drilled, you take the anchor, take the screw up top out and there is a driving pin that gets inserted that you then hammer to insert the base of the anchor into your deck. For the most part, you wont find much variation on the costs of "parts and labor" as most pool stores generally include this with the price. But again.. your most common looploc cover will probably cost you over 1000-1200 dollars, its not just some 95.99 cover from the local store.

Hope this helps.

BTW... you should have the pool measured for a cover, just to be safe. If for some reason, you have a pool that is 18X36, and then find out that somehow they erred and its more like 19X37 you could have problems with the cover, have it measured even if it is a rectangle. This ensures you get a cover that will fit and wont have any problems later. The mesauring process is done by using a mathematical equasion using 40 or 50 points around the pool and by using 2 different angles. You get an A and B reading for each mark. the A and B readings are from the same side of the pool and are about 10-12 feet apart. By cross referencing these numbers, the loop loc computers enter these calcuilations and get a perfect cover almost all the time.

It sounds confusing, but this is how they are mesaured.

Hope this helps.
