The vanishing edge style pool has a unique design in the fact that one or more sides of the pool are lower than the rest to allow for water to flow over the edge and into a trough. This gives it a waterfall like appear. Whether you already have a pool or you re planning to build one we offer a multitude of options.

The tracks are placed under the coping of the raised rectangular deck. From vinyl lined and vanishing edge pools to unique construction and everything in between we make it easy for your pool to benefit from a cover pools automatic pool cover. Since the tracks on either side of the pool are not perfectly parallel in this case the auto cover must be modified using gliders to compensate for the height difference between the two tracks. Otherwise it will be baggy or too small and will not move.

Unlike the installation of an auto cover on a standard pool a vanishing edge pool cannot be out of square the tolerances for a cover on this type of pool design cannot be off by more than 26 to 51 mm 1 to 2 in. The slack has to be minimal with this pool design. Another technique for adapting the automatic cover to the free form pool involves the use of low profile track that mounts to the deck surface. This technique involves building a rectangular deck slightly raised above the freeform pool deck.

Unfortunately the cover installer is often brought into the discussion very late in the construction process. One of the most common mistakes builders make is to construct the beam wall separating the cover trough from the pool much higher than the vanishing edge wall. A vanishing edge pool also known as an infinity edge pool can have an automatic pool cover installed with a special underside track adaptor.
