Custom in-ground pool safety covers for Cleveland — measured on site, including gardens where the only way in is a side passage and a gate. Family-owned since 2012.
A filter tank goes through your gate once. If it fits, that problem is over.
A cover goes through it every year, twice — off in spring, on in autumn, for as long as you own it. So on a city plot, access is not a delivery question. It is a recurring condition of owning the cover, and it is worth designing around at the measure rather than discovering in the first cold October.
A site measure for a made-to-order pool cover
A custom cover arrives folded, and a large one is heavy and awkward rather than merely bulky. A narrow side passage, a gate with a post in the wrong place, a flight of steps down to a sunken garden — none of it makes the job impossible, and all of it changes how we plan the day.
This is the part people do not anticipate. Anchors are drilled into the deck, and drilling needs three things: clearance to work, somewhere to stand, and power.
On a tight surround the clearance is the constraint. A deck that narrows to almost nothing at one end, a planter tight to the coping, a wall close behind the anchor line — each one affects where an anchor can physically be set, which in turn affects the layout the cover is made to.
And power is not a given. An outdoor socket that works is worth mentioning when you call.
Trivial in an open yard, real in a city garden. A cover install involves the folded cover, an installation rod, a drill and its kit, and space to lay a large panel out flat before it goes on. On a small plot that is a genuine planning question rather than an afterthought.
Parking matters too. Where a van can legally stand, and how far the carry is from there, is part of the job on a city street.
Three things, when you get in touch:
1. How you get from the street to the pool — front to back through the house, a side passage, an alley, a shared drive. 2. How wide the narrowest point on that route is. A rough measurement is fine; "it is tight" is genuinely useful too. 3. Whether there are steps, and roughly how many.
It is not paperwork
It decides what we bring and how long we allow, and it is the difference between a straightforward measure visit and a wasted one.
Cover-on happens with the close. And on a tight site there is a good reason not to separate them: the pool has to be drawn down and the lines blown out before the cover is fitted, and doing that in one visit means one lot of equipment coming through your gate rather than two. See pool closing service — closings start from $495 plus chemicals.

A safety cover installed to the manufacturer's instructions and fully fastened is a barrier. It is not a reason to stop watching. No cover replaces supervision of children and pets around water, and a cover that is only half on is a hazard rather than a barrier — which is worth remembering on a small plot, where a cover that is a struggle to fit is a cover that ends up half fitted.

“After having different companies open and close our pools, and then having M & G Pools, I would never have anyone else! They are extremely professional, kind, efficient, and knowledgeable. They definitely go out of their way to help their customers.”

Cleveland is in Cuyahoga County, about 17 miles from our base, and cover work travels comfortably at that distance.
Everything we install is made to your pool by Merlin or GLI, measured on site. We do not sell or fit stock or standard sizes — and a city pool shaped to fit the space available is exactly the case a shelf rectangle cannot serve.
What the measure records and how a fit runs is on our covers in Twinsburg page. For what your deck material means for the anchors, anchors and decks in Pepper Pike and safety cover installation. For the mesh-or-solid decision, the pool safety covers hub.
Cover work is quote-required. For the rest of what we do here see Cleveland pool service; the list of towns is on service areas.
Usually not, and it is worth telling us rather than leaving us to find out. It changes what we bring and how long we allow, not whether we come. What creates an actual problem is arriving without knowing — that is how a visit gets wasted.
Because a cover is not a one-off delivery. A filter tank goes through the gate once and that is over. A cover comes off every spring and goes back on every autumn, through the same passage, for as long as you own it — so it is a recurring condition rather than a single obstacle.
Clearance, mostly. Anchors are drilled into the deck, and drilling needs room to work and somewhere to stand. A deck that narrows to almost nothing at one end, a planter tight to the coping or a wall close behind the anchor line all affect where an anchor can physically be set — which in turn shapes the layout the cover is made to.
Three things: how you get from the street to the pool, how wide the narrowest point on that route is, and whether there are steps. A rough measurement is fine. Also worth mentioning: whether there is a working outdoor socket, since drilling needs power.
Yes, and on a tight site there is a good reason to. The pool has to be drawn down and the lines blown out before the cover goes on, so doing both in one visit means one lot of equipment through your gate rather than two.
That is precisely what a custom cover is for. Everything we install is made to your pool, measured on site — we do not fit stock or standard sizes, and a pool shaped to fit the plot is the clearest case there is for a cover made to the outline rather than pulled off a shelf.
