When installing a pool, most people wonder if an automatic pool cover is worth the money. For this type of purchase, it’s always a good idea to weigh out the pros and cons. We installed one this past Spring as we were installing our fiberglass pool. I have to say we’ve been extremely happy with our cover but wanted to give you all the information so you can decide if it is the best decision for you.

We’ve finally completed our backyard pool area! Well, almost. We’re still waiting for the automatic cover to be installed, but that hasn’t stopped us from already enjoying our pool during these hot summer days.
Going into this project, we knew that it was going to be a big undertaking. We didn’t have much of a backyard, and what little bit we had was on a pretty steep slope. So we had to bring in a lot of shale to build it up and level it out. Even though it took a lot to get here, we are so happy with the way it turned out. And we think that creating this usable space has added value to our home.
