More and more French households are investing in the development of a swimming pool. Whatever the region, the private pool is popular! The installation of this comfort equipment requires certain materials and equipment such as the protective cover. You can of course do without it, nevertheless, the pool cover fills many services.

Why invest in a pool cover?

What is the point of a pool cover? Do professionals also use such equipment? What are the advantages of this plastic protection?


BACHES-DIRECT, online specialist of tarpaulins for professional use but also tarpaulins accessible to individuals, offers you to take stock of the pool tarpaulin.

The pool cover is an essential equipment to permanently protect private pools, whether they belong to individuals or professionals in the hospitality sector or tourism.

We have selected quality tarpaulins, both resistant and durable over time.


The pool cover fulfills several objectives, which is why it is strongly recommended to provide a cover adapted to the size of your pool:


  • Security: 

The pool is a danger zone for young children and pets. Subject to regulation, it must be secured by the installation of a first level of security such as a fence, or a low wall.

For more guarantees, opt for the installation of a tarp: it covers the basin and protects in case of fall.


  • Water Temperature: 

The tarp acts as a heating blanket. For unheated pools located in regions of France where summer temperatures are not always high, the tarpaulin is a real bonus that allows you to gain some precious extra degrees.


  • Water protection against dirt: 

Pool water never stays clean for long. Unless you invest in a water purification system and install a high-performance robot cleaner, you will have to go fishing every day for dead leaves, branches, and other dirt fallen into the basin. To limit these cleaning operations and keep water as clean as possible without having to constantly intervene, opt for the special protective cover pools and basins


  • Winter cover and protection during the winter period:

All winter, the pool cover retains impurities and prevents the pool from filling with dead leaves or insects fallen into the water. Thanks to this winter cover, the pool is more quickly and easily restored when the first sunny days return.


Save money! The protective cover allows you to limit water treatments and thus save money!

Can I leave my tarp outside all year round?

Of course you can leave your tarp outside! Summer and winter, it offers effective protection and guarantees a pool without impurities, clean water at the right temperature.

Nevertheless, depending on the model of tarpaulin chosen, know that the life of your equipment will be different: a lighter weight and a tarpaulin made of polyethylene implies a more limited life, especially if the tarpaulin is constantly subject to climatic hazards.

On the other hand, a high-weight PVC tarpaulin provides long-lasting protection under all conditions of use.


How to store it so that they do not spoil?

Pool covers are very easy to maintain equipment. Using a large sponge and a bucket of soapy water, simply clean both surfaces of the tarp. Let the tarp dry and fold so that it takes up less space. You can then store it as long as you want without the risk of it getting damaged.

Little extra: the flow net

On BACHES-DIRECT, there are different models of tarpaulins for swimming pools including the protective tarpaulin with central flow net. What is this product for?

This ventilation is a micro-perforated opening located in the center of the pool cover. This opening facilitates the flow of rainwater in case of bad weather. Thus, it does not accumulate on the top of the tarpaulin and does not weigh on the winter tarpaulin. No more stagnant water, no more mould problems!

Thanks to the drainage grid, the rainwater is evacuated and joins the water of the basin without letting pass the leaves or other dirt.

Tip: The transparent tarpaulin, ideal for covering a pool.

Pool tarpaulins are generally made of high density PVC or polyethylene. Resistant and waterproof, they offer optimal protection guarantees.

Placed directly on top of the pool, they are effective and perfectly cover your pool, whatever its size.

But have you thought about installing a tarp above the pool, as an awning or pergola? There are ranges of transparent PVC tarpaulins, just as effective; Suspended above the basins thanks to a structure type arbor, they let light pass, protect the pool from impurities while offering you the opportunity to swim whatever the weather! You have an indoor pool at a lower cost! Think about it!
