No, aluminium by its nature does not rust.
Our enclosures are very sturdy since the doors, side walls and lid are all fully welded. Some manufacturers use screws or rivets to assemble their panels which is not as strong.
The enclosure is designed to prevent the worst of the weather getting in with zero gap slat lids which overhang the side walls and front doors. While our covers are not watertight they severely limit the amount of rainwater that could get in.
Try to allow enough space so that maintenance of the equipment is easy. Allow room above your controller box so that it can still be removed from the wall.
There is a 75mm gap under the side walls to allow for pipework to enter & exit the enclosure.
If your existing pipes are not at ground level a pool plumber can re-route the pipework for you with a few 90 degree turns.
We’re confident that our pool pump covers are the easiest and quickest to install. Our clever design ensures that as much of the work as possible has already been done for you, for example there are no slats to install as the panels arrive pre-welded.
Our installation guide is simple to follow with plenty of diagrams and we are available to answer your questions.
Allow a couple of hours for the installation.
Just a cordless drill with a Phillips bit, 5/8 tek screw bit & a 6mm masonry drill bit, spirit level (or a spirit level phone app!) and protective glasses & N95 mask when drilling into concrete.
Only the front two posts need to be secured to your concrete slab or tiles. We supply masonry screws for this purpose since they are 100% removable, unlike concrete anchors.
The rear posts & beam are either attached to a wall using wall plugs & screws, to a timber fence using timber screws, or to a metal fence using tek screws. All fixing options are supplied so no trips to Bunnings required!
We don’t offer an installation service but a local handyman would be able to help you out if you don’t fancy doing the installation yourself.
If the pool pump cover is within 1250mm of the pool it may require equipotential bonding. Please contact an electrician to determine your local rules. Your pool equipment will already be earthed so it’s a simple process to connect to the same earthing point.

Yes we do, whatever the reason. If you don’t like the colour, make a measuring mistake or simply change your mind, you just need to pay the courier fee and ensure that the cover is returned undamaged. This takes the stress out of ordering.
When looking at competitors, bear in mind that most build their covers to order and do not accept returns.
