The need for pool covers to allow longer and more frequent pool use revealed a challenge: where and how to park the pool cover when swimming.

Existing solutions include:

• Large reinforced concrete strips with surface treatment
• Additional land use to create a parking area

Pros and Cons of Existing Solutions:

• Functionality
• Permanently occupied/dubious area (only used for a few months)
• Less greenery, larger land requirements
• High financial costs

Estimated cost for paving an entire area:

• Excavation: approx. €200–300 (garden damage)
• Soil removal: €200–300
• Formwork + labor + concrete + pouring + transport/pump: €1,500–3,000
• Final paving finish + laying: €1,000–3,000
• Restoring the garden: €200–500

The estimated cost, depending on details, will be €3,100–10,000.

Incalculable costs:

• Creation of an aesthetic/non-aesthetic permanent barrier
• Dubious space used 2-3 months a year during summer

For an existing pool:

• Core drilling is used to create holes for threaded rods
• Threaded rods are secured with chemical anchors
• Arms are attached with screws
• For automatic arms, electrical wiring + photo sensors are installed
• The system is ready!

For a pool under construction:

• A reinforcing basket is poured into the pool edge during pool construction, according to the instructions
• When pool work is completed, the arms are delivered and mounted on the reinforced base, secured with screws
• For automatic arms, electrical wiring + photo sensors are installed
• The system is ready!
