The True Measure of 'Best'

The most important factor that determines the best pool blanket is the quality of its raw materials, not just its micron thickness. This is a critical detail that many other sellers fail to mention.

Our blankets use a superior formulation with robust UV stabilisers and antioxidants, ensuring they out-last thicker, imported alternatives that can quickly become brittle and useless in the harsh Aussie sun.

The best blanket is one that performs for years. Protect your investment and make handling effortless with a quality pool cover roller, ensuring you get the best experience and value.

Which pool cover is right for your pool?

Most pools use more than one cover through the year — a solar blanket to warm the water and cut evaporation in season, a tie-down cover for leaves and safety off-season, and a roller to handle it all. Here’s how each option compares and who it suits.

The everyday in-season cover. A custom-made floating solar blanket warms your pool by up to 8°C, cuts evaporation by around 98%, and lowers your chemical and running costs — available from 250 to 600 micron with up to a 12-year warranty.

Best for leafy yards and the off-season. A tie-down mesh cover blocks 100% of leaves, debris and dust while rain drains straight through, and adds a real layer of pool safety. Many owners run one alongside a solar blanket across the year.

Made for above-ground pools. An easy “shower-cap” style cover in heavy-duty woven polypropylene — 25% thicker than most — with a stretch cord for a quick, secure fit. Keeps out leaves, debris and dust, lets rain through, and halves evaporation. From $100.80.

The accessory that makes a solar blanket effortless. Roll the cover on and off in seconds, single-handed — which protects it and extends its life. Recommended for anything bigger than a small plunge pool, and every roller comes with a free UV over-cover. From $399.

Prefer push-button convenience? Pair a motorised Talos electric roller with a custom-made cover for hands-free operation that rolls perfectly straight every time — easier on you and gentler on the cover.
