Above-Ground Pool screen

An above ground pool is a magnet to bugs and tree-debris. We tried a cover but it sinks and it is a pain to remove and put on. Looked into commercial screens and the cost was 3x the pool cost. One day while at WalMart I saw a hexagon shaped meal tent. On a whim I purchased it as a cover for the pool. Here are the results ...

Step 1 Check the size

The pool we bought is available at Sam's Club for about $280. It is about 16' across and 4' deep. I was looking for a meal-tent that was hexagon in shape and 16' x 16'. I found one at WalMart for $48.49 , but the size was 15' x 13'. .. Let's give it a shot...

Well, I gotta hand it to ya, you're resourceful. It would've been cool if you could've gotten one that was more of a circle. I had a thought about screen: If you were to get some surplus aluminum extrusion and a couple rolls of window screen, you might be able to make a removable pool cover screen for when you're not using it. Still, very nice.

I priced out doing a pvc pipe and mosquito net cover. It was going to be over $400 ... hard to beat $50.

Sounds good.
