Is your pool affected by the National Construction Code?

Whether you’re aware of it or not, the National Construction Code may require your pool to have a pool cover installed.

Many people do not want to use a pool cover for many reasons:

  • it may be considered unslightly
  • it may take up too much of the available space or entertaining area
  • maybe they cannot find a pool cover colour they like
  • it may seem hard to put on and remove the cover
  • their pool design my make a pool cover difficult to install.

Whatever the reason, they may be in a situation where they are REQUIRED to have a cover.

If you find yourself in this position, take heart, there are many covers out there that will resolve this problem, BUT there are not many that will be virtually invisible like the Aussie UnderCover®.

Let’s look at what is available:

  • Standard aluminium above ground roller pool covers
  • Stainless Steel above ground roller pool covers
  • Aluminium bench seat roller pool covers
  • In-Ground aluminium pool covers
  • Aussie UnderCover®
