What Is the Weight Limit for a Safety Cover?
Safety covers are designed to meet required performance standards, but actual break strength can vary by cover type and installation.
Each safety cover is designed to meet or exceed applicable safety pool cover performance standards, including ASTM F1346-91, which states that a safety cover must hold a minimum of 485 lbs.
The actual break strength can vary by cover type and installation. Factors such as concrete, wood, pavers, anchor placement, and installation quality can all affect overall performance. Depending on the cover type and how it is installed, the breaking point is usually around 1500 to 2500 lbs.
