Why does my cover lift higher on one side while being short on the other side? | Daisy Pool Covers

Why does my cover lift higher on one side while being short on the other side?

This phenomenon is caused by what we call an inside curve. Adding dressmaking tucks to the curve on some pools, such as kidney shaped ones, will help stop the blanket lifting unevenly, which can be caused by an inside curve. For instance, if you have a kidney-shaped pool, you will find that the material will tend to push from point A towards point B. This is caused by the upturn of the over cut material trying to straighten itself out. It is curved and too large so it creates a force downward. This force is transferred downwards from point A towards point B. If you put some dressmaking tucks into the curve around the A section then this force is contained and the cover will remain stationary.

An awesome quality cover

Hi, I thought you might like some feedback on your pool covers! Our 400 micron Daisy is 7 years old and was going pretty strong – I honestly think it had one or maybe 2 years still left in it – that was until is was shredded in a very bad hail storm recently. The hail was larger than golf ball size and many rooves in our area were smashed so we are not surprised it was damaged. It was always kept on the pool unless we were swimming and it’s on a roller that is covered from the sun. Yes it was getting a bit brittle but in general for 7 years we have to say it was an awesome quality cover. Thanks Daisy! Let’s hope the new generation of pool covers are even better. Cheers
