How We Build Your Peace of Mind: The Technical Details

At Lacuna Pool Covers, we don't just build covers; we engineer protection. Here’s a look at what makes our covers so durable and reliable:

​

1. The Mesh - Our Shield Against the Elements:

  • What it is: We use a super-strong woven polyethylene mesh – think of it as a tightly packed net that’s incredibly resistant to tearing and punctures.

  • Why it matters: This mesh isn't flimsy; it’s designed to handle heavy snow, strong winds, and even accidental bumps. It also blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, protecting your pool finish from fading and damage.

​

2. The Straps - Secure & Long-Lasting:

  • What they’re made of: We use durable nylon webbing for our straps – it's incredibly strong and won’t snap under pressure.

  • Why they matter: These straps are designed to hold the cover securely in place, even during windy conditions.

​

3. The Coating - Protecting Against Wear & Tear:

  • What it is: A specialized coating that protects the entire cover from abrasion (rubbing and scratching) – extending its lifespan.

  • Why it matters: This coating helps keep your cover looking great for years to come, even with regular use.
