All above ground pools need a cove. A cove is needed to keep the
weight of the water in the pool liner from causing it to balloon out under the bottom of the pool wall. A cove may be built with sand or other pool bottom material, but this is time consuming and may wash out.
Pool Cove is a 3 inch by 4 inch preformed cove made from chemically neutral Ethafoam®, which is safe for use with all pools and liners.
Pool Cove comes in 48 inch sections which are easy to install
in any pool.
