Automatic POOL size covers = $150,000 – $500,000

Key Configuration Variables
& Additional Considerations
Your space’s attributes and where you’re at with construction will determine your project’s needs. Your representative will walk you through the many factors affecting price, such as the primary design and configuration options below.
Flush or Stepped
To create a space that is all level when the cover is open and/or closed, the panels will need to be automatic and be stacked underground. Alternatively, the cover can also act as a step.
Stackability Options
Our panels can be stackable to allow our covers to fit in smaller spaces. Our patented racking system slides each panel into place smoothly and efficiently.
Above or Below Ground
Depending on the desired space you are aiming for we can stack our panels above or below ground.
