Residential Slatted Pool Covers | Durable & UV-Resistant Protection

Residential slatted covers offer homeowners a balance of functionality, aesthetics, and ease of use. Composed of lightweight PVC or polycarbonate slats (1 2 lbs per linear foot), these covers slide open/closed on guide rails, enabling quick pool access. Translucent slats allow natural light to reach the water (reducing algae growth) while blocking debris, with optional UV filters to protect swimmers from sun exposure. Manual models use crank handles for operation, while motorized versions (12V DC) offer remote control convenience. Safety features include anti slip slat surfaces, childproof locking mechanisms, and load ratings (200 300 lbs/m²) to prevent accidental falls. Residential slats often come in neutral colors (gray, beige) to complement backyard landscapes, with modular designs facilitating easy installation and maintenance. They are well suited for families seeking a low effort cover solution that doesn’t compromise on safety or pool usability.
