Pool Cover Prices
Indicative price bands for every pool cover type — then a free, fixed written quote tailored to your pool
What Does a Pool Cover Cost in South Africa?
Pool cover pricing depends on the cover type, your pool's size and shape, and the installation method. To help you budget with confidence, we've published realistic ZAR price bands for every product category below. Automatic covers are our premium offering; thermal blankets are the most affordable entry point.
These figures are indicative ranges to help you plan — not a formal quotation. Because every pool is unique, the only way to get an exact, fixed price is a free on-site measurement. There is never any obligation.
Prices shown exclude VAT and are indicative for budgeting only. Your formal written quote includes VAT (15%) and professional installation.

Pricing Questions
How much does an automatic pool cover cost in South Africa?
A premium automatic pool cover (PoolDeck slatted or PoolLock hydraulic vinyl) typically ranges from about R85,000 for a small pool up to R350,000 for a large pool with a recessed housing. The final price depends on pool size, housing type (recessed or above-ground) and slat material. Thermal, safety and manual covers are considerably more affordable — see the price bands above.
Do your prices include VAT?
The indicative price bands on this page are shown excluding VAT. Your formal written quote will always show the VAT-inclusive total (15%) so the final figure is completely transparent with no surprises.
Is installation an extra cost?
No — every price we quote includes professional installation by our own qualified technicians. Any unusual site preparation or difficult-access requirements are itemised separately and agreed with you upfront before work begins.
Why are the prices shown as ranges?
Every pool is a different size, shape and setting, so a fixed sticker price would be misleading. The bands above give you a realistic budgeting range; a free on-site measurement lets us give you an exact, fixed written quote.
Do you offer finance or payment terms?
We accept EFT, credit card and cash. For larger automatic-cover projects, ask our team about available payment terms — we are happy to discuss options that suit your budget.
