WHERE WE INSTALL
Decks, Coping And Anchor Points We Already Know
Destiny Pool Builders installs selected pool-cover systems based on pool measurements, deck construction and manufacturer requirements. Available products, ratings, certifications, warranties and installation requirements vary by model. Product-specific documentation will identify the intended use and limitations of the selected cover.
A pool cover is not a substitute for code-compliant barriers, active adult supervision, proper maintenance or following the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Never walk, stand or play on a pool cover unless the specific product is expressly designed and certified for that use.
Pool Cover Services We Offer
Cover work runs from a straightforward seasonal fit through to a full automatic system, and the six services below account for almost every request that comes to us.
01
Winter Cover Fitting
Solid winter covers sized to your pool, secured with water bags or a cable and winch depending on the deck. They block sunlight and debris through the off-season, which helps limit algae while the water sits without circulation.
02
Safety Cover Installation
Mesh and solid safety covers anchored into the deck with brass fittings that recess flush when not in use. Straps get tensioned evenly so the cover carries load properly, and the anchors are set to sit flush with the deck.
03
Automatic Cover Systems
Track mounted covers that open and close from a switch or key, over the deck or hidden beneath the coping. Because they tend to get used daily rather than seasonally, the heat retention and added protection are realized more often than with a manual cover.
04
Anchor and Track Installation
Anchors are drilled and set into concrete, pavers or wood, and automatic cover tracks are aligned and mounted along the coping or under it. Careful placement here affects how squarely the cover seats over time.
05
Cover Repair and Restrapping
Worn straps, stretched springs, pulled stitching, damaged panels and seized anchors can all be replaced individually. Repairing a cover that is otherwise sound usually costs much less than replacing it, and the turnaround is often quick.
06
Seasonal Removal and Storage
We work to keep debris out of the water as covers come off in spring, then rinse, dry and fold them for storage. Putting a damp cover away is by far the fastest way to destroy an expensive one.

What Our Customers Say
Choosing The Right Cover For Your Pool
Cover choice comes down to how you use the pool, what your yard drops into it and what you want the cover to actually do. Here are the options.
01
Solid Winter Covers
The most affordable option, blocking most sunlight and keeping debris out over the off-season. They need a cover pump to clear rainwater, and they are not designed to support any weight, so they are not a safety barrier.
02
Mesh Safety Covers
Rainwater and snowmelt drain straight through the fabric, so nothing pools on the surface and no cover pump is needed. Fine mesh blocks most sunlight and debris, and they are the lightest option to install and remove seasonally.
03
Solid Safety Covers
These combine load-bearing anchoring with a solid panel that blocks sunlight, keeping the water cleaner over winter. A drain panel or a cover pump handles rainfall, and the water underneath usually opens far clearer in the spring.
04
Automatic Track Covers
This is the convenience option, and the one people tend to use most often. Heat retention, reduced evaporation, lower chemical use and a covered pool when nobody is swimming all follow from a cover that closes quickly.
05
Solar Covers For Warmth
Bubble-style covers that let sunlight through while trapping heat and stopping evaporation overnight. They can add several degrees during the shoulder seasons, though they are strictly a heat tool rather than a safety or a debris control solution.
06
Custom Shapes And Obstructions
Freeform outlines, raised beams, spillover spas, waterfalls, handrails and diving boards all need a cover cut to shape. Templating rather than ordering a stock size helps the fit in the places where the geometry gets complicated.
WHO WE ARE
We Fit Covers We Would Put On Our Own Pools
There is a straightforward way to judge a cover installation. Walk the perimeter and look at the gap. A properly fitted cover sits tight to the deck the whole way around with even tension in every strap, and a poorly fitted one leaves sagging edges that catch leaves, hold water and pull anchors loose within 2 seasons. We aim for that first outcome and adjust the tension once the cover has settled. Send your pool shape and dimensions through our contact page for a quote.

Peace Of Mind That Stretches Across A Whole Winter
A cover earns its keep in several ways. It helps keep leaves, pollen and grit out of water nobody is circulating, it can reduce the chemicals and labor a green spring opening demands, and a safety cover adds a physical barrier over open water. Review the manufacturer's specifications and safety limitations for any cover you consider. Destiny Pool Builders measures, fits and services covers on pools throughout Wake Forest, NC, working from a template of your actual pool rather than the nearest available size.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What type of pool cover is right for my pool?
The best option depends on your pool design, safety needs, convenience preferences and budget. We offer winter covers, safety covers and automated covers fitted to your pool's specifications, and we explain the protection, operation and maintenance requirements attached to each one.
How long does a good safety cover typically last?
Lifespan varies with the cover and how it is cared for, and covers that are removed, dried and stored properly each spring tend to last longer. Straps and springs wear faster than the panels and are replaceable on their own.
Can a cover be fitted to an irregularly shaped pool?
Yes, routinely. Freeform outlines, raised walls, spillover spas and waterfalls are all handled with a custom template rather than a stock size. Destiny Pool Builders measures each pool across Wake Forest, NC individually before any cover is ordered.
Do safety covers meet a specific published standard?
Reputable safety covers are manufactured to the ASTM F1346 standard, which sets requirements for load-bearing capacity and for limiting access to the water underneath. That standard is what distinguishes a safety cover from a simple debris cover. Review a product's specifications and safety limitations before purchasing.
How much water should sit under a winter cover?
This depends on the cover and pool; for many solid or mesh safety covers the level is lowered to around the skimmer mouth, following the manufacturer's guidance. Lowering the water much further removes support from under the cover and risks liner and structural problems.
Are automatic covers worth the additional cost?
That depends on how you use the pool and your budget. Because automatic covers get used more often, the heat retention, reduced evaporation and added protection are realized more consistently than with a manual cover. Destiny Pool Builders fits automatic systems across Wake Forest, NC.
Can anchors be installed in an existing concrete deck?
Yes. Anchors are drilled and set flush into the deck so they sit below the surface when the cover is off.
How should I care for a cover during the off-season?
Rinse it, let it dry completely, then fold and store it somewhere rodents cannot reach it. Storing a cover damp causes mildew and rot, and a chewed corner is the most common reason an otherwise sound cover fails.
