• SUPER MESH POOL SAFETY COVER
Elite Super Mesh Pool Cover | Trampoline Mesh Debris Cover | Elite Pool Covers

Our best debris cover, in trampoline mesh.

The same job as the Debris Defender, done with a better fabric. Trampoline mesh has a tight weave and an ultra-smooth surface, so leaves and debris blow straight off in a breeze or sweep off in seconds. $66 per square metre including GST.

Why the fabric matters

Trampoline mesh is built to be walked on, rained on and left in the sun for years. Used as a pool cover, two of its properties do the work.

What it does

  • The weave is tight, so leaves, grass, sand and dirt sit on top rather than working through
  • The surface is unusually smooth, so debris blows off in a breeze or sweeps off with almost no effort
  • Keeps organic matter out of the water, which means fewer phosphates to treat
  • Cuts the time you spend skimming, vacuuming and backwashing
  • Lets the water breathe, so it can stay on the pool for extended periods
  • Holds up to UV and weather — it's the same fabric trampolines live outdoors on

What it doesn't do

  • Act as a safety cover. We don't test, rate or supply it as one, so it must not be walked on or relied on as a barrier
  • Replace your pool fence, or any part of your fencing obligations
  • Replace adult supervision around water
  • Heat the pool — for that you want a solar or thermal blanket
  • Suit pools over 16 × 7 m as a standard cover. Larger pools are made to order

Which of our covers do you need?

We make three. Two of them keep debris out and one is built to take a load. This is the premium option of the two debris covers.

Price your pool

Enter the size of your pool, not the cover. We cut every Super Mesh cover 300 mm larger than the pool on all four sides so it tensions properly, and the price is based on that finished size.

How to measure your pool

Measure the water's edge at its longest and widest points. We add the overhang — don't add it yourself. Super Mesh is made in black only.

Your pool size and this estimate are carried across automatically. We use them to prepare your quote and won't pass them on.

This is an automated estimate for a rectangular pool, not a formal quotation. Free-form pools, steps and site access can change the final figure. Price shown covers the cover itself — rollers, cutting and installation are quoted separately.

How it works

Made to your pool

Cut from trampoline mesh 300 mm larger than the pool on every side, so the cover tensions flat across the water instead of sagging into it.

Debris lands and leaves

The smooth surface gives leaves and grass nothing to catch on. Most of it blows off on its own; the rest sweeps off in a couple of minutes.

Less time on the pool

Keeping organic matter out of the water means less skimming and vacuuming, and fewer phosphates to treat.

Yes, that's a car on a Super Mesh cover

A customer's car went into their pool while the cover was on, and the cover held it. It's the best real-world picture we have of how tough trampoline mesh is.

This is not a safety cover

The Super Mesh is a debris cover. The fabric is strong, but we do not test, rate or supply this cover as a safety barrier. It must never be walked on, and it must never be relied on to keep a child or a pet out of the water.

It does not replace a compliant pool fence, and it does not replace adult supervision. If you want a cover built to take a load, see the Elite Pool Protector Safety Cover, which is designed to support up to 60 kg.

Common questions

What's the difference between this and the Debris Defender?
The fabric. Both do the same job and both are made the same way, but the Super Mesh uses trampoline mesh with a much smoother surface, so debris comes off with less effort and the fabric takes more punishment. The Debris Defender is the sharper price; this is the one to buy if you want the easiest cover to keep clean.
Trampoline mesh is strong — can I stand on it?
No. The fabric is strong, but a cover's ability to hold weight comes from the whole assembly — the anchors, the hem, the seams and the span — not the fabric alone. We don't test, rate or supply the Super Mesh as a safety cover, so it should never be walked on or treated as a barrier. The Pool Protector is the product designed to hold weight.
Why is the price based on a bigger size than my pool?
Every Super Mesh cover is cut 300 mm larger than the pool on all four sides so it can tension properly against the surround. That extra material is real material, so the price is worked out on the finished cover size. Enter your pool dimensions and the calculator does the rest — the drawing shows you both figures.
Does it come in other colours?
Black only. If you want a choice of colours, the Debris Defender comes in five.
What if my pool isn't a rectangle?
The calculator prices rectangular pools. Free-form pools, steps and benches are all doable, but they need measuring and pricing individually — send your dimensions through and we'll quote it.
