Automatic Pool Covers

People buy automatic covers for three reasons: Safety, Savings, and Cleanliness.

  • Safety: Acts as a "horizontal fence" that supports the weight of an adult, keeping kids and pets out of the water.

  • Heat Retention: Saves up to 70% on heating costs by stopping evaporation overnight.

  • Maintenance: Keeps leaves, debris, and "neighbors' yard waste" out of the pool so it's always swim-ready.

Pro-Level Tech Specs

Heat-Sealed Webbing

Unlike competitors who sew their webbing (which can rot or tear), Coverstar uses a specialized heat-seal process that bonds the webbing to the fabric, making it significantly stronger and longer-lasting.

The Power Touch Motor

A high-torque, waterproof electric motor designed specifically for the pool environment. It’s built to handle the weight of water on top of the cover without straining.

Heavy-Duty Fabric

Constructed from UltraGuard vinyl, which is specifically treated with UV inhibitors and antimicrobial additives to prevent fading and mold in the humid Ohio climate.

Leading Warranty

Coverstar offers the most comprehensive warranty in the industry (usually 7 years on the fabric and 3 years on the motor/mechanicals).

Automatic Cover & Secure Cover Resources

Choose the Coverstar Automatic if:

Choose the GLI Mesh Safety Cover if:

You are primarily looking for a secure way to close the pool for the winter and don't mind manual cleaning during the summer months.

Pool Lighting LED

Why premium lighting matters?

  • Safety & Visibility: Essential for night swimming and monitoring the pool area from the house.

  • Custom Ambiance: Access to 10 additional color options and 7 programmed light shows (like "Vivid Violet" or "Royal Blue").

Pool Coping

Coping is the "handshake" of the pool—it’s the first thing people touch when getting in or out.

  • Safety & Comfort: Provides a non-slip edge for swimmers to grab and a smooth surface that’s easy on the hands and feet.

  • Structural Integrity: Protects the pool bond beam and directs splash-out water away from the pool and into the deck drains.

  • Aesthetic Frame: Acting as the "picture frame" for your water, the right coping defines the entire look of your backyard, from modern chic to rustic lagoon.

Steel Step & Bench Upgrades

The "Big 3" Benefits

  • Customization Without Limits: Unlike plastic "drop-in" steps, our steel steps can be designed in any shape or size, from full-width wedding cake steps to integrated tanning ledges.

  • Structural Integrity: Made from 14-gauge galvanized steel, these steps are part of the pool's permanent structure and will never shift, crack, or settle.

  • The "Sleek" Look: Because the vinyl liner is custom-fitted directly over the steel, the steps look like a seamless extension of the pool floor—no unsightly plastic seams.

Rectangle_Madaly-Enterprises-scaled.jpg

Pro-Level Tech Specs

G-235 Galvanized Coat

Every step and bench is treated with a heavy zinc coating to provide maximum corrosion resistance in the moist underground environment.

Modular Design

We can combine steps, benches, and "cuddle puddles" in over 150 standard configurations, or create a 100% custom blueprint for your specific backyard.

V-Grip Finish

We use a specialized "V-Grip" liner track on the steps to ensure the vinyl stays tight and secure, even in high-traffic areas.

Superior Support

Unlike concrete steps that can put stress on your pool walls, these steel frames are bolted directly into the wall system for a unified, rock-solid build.

Steel Sun Ledge Upgrades

The "Big 3" Benefits

  • The Ultimate Social Hub: Perfect for lounging in 6-12 inches of water, it’s the ideal spot for "ledge loungers," kids to play safely, or even for your four-legged friends to cool off.

  • True Seamless Luxury: Because we use Liner-Over-Steel construction, your tanning ledge matches the rest of your pool perfectly—no mismatched plastic colors or visible seams.

  • Year-Round Durability: Built with the same 14-gauge galvanized steel as our walls, these ledges won't crack or fade like fiberglass or plastic shells often do under the Ohio sun.

Pro-Level Tech Specs

Non-Skid Surface

We ensure the liner material used on the ledge has a specialized texture for excellent slip resistance, keeping your "entry and exit" safe.

 Reinforcement

Our ledges are supported by a galvanized steel bracing system and concrete, ensuring zero "flex" when you walk on them.

Optional Spillways

We can design these with integrated water spillovers for that soothing "infinity" sound and look.
