Concrete lids alternative/replacement?…Any recommendations?
Hello! Thanks in advance for any insights on this topic. Our pool builder steered us into concrete lids (custom poured pavers) as a pool cover topper.…however I don’t think they were implemented the best, as they’ve done some interesting things to shim them up and whatnot.
Of larger concern is that the cover itself seems to rub on the bracket arms, and this has caused a couple small tears already in the seams (note that the pool was brand new in 2021). There also appears to be some friction induced wear and tear (see pics)……so I’m worried that these lids will only continue to cause long term hassles, potentially including a fully torn cover.
What are my options? In hindsight, I would’ve opted for a walk-on aluminum lid, but most of the ones I’ve seen are meant to be poured in (during original installation) so trying to retrofit after the fact seems like it might also be problematic. Any recommendations???
Thanks again. Happy floating!!
