Intro

When it comes to protecting your family, your pool, and your investment, not all safety covers are created equal. At Big Becks Pools and Pavers, we believe in delivering only the highest quality products to our clients—which is why we exclusively install Loop-Loc safety covers. Known for their premium craftsmanship, unmatched safety features, and precision custom fits, Loop-Loc has set the industry standard for decades. As a certified Loop-Loc dealer in Long Island, Big Becks is proud to offer this elite level of protection to homeowners throughout New York. If you’re seeking a premium pool safety cover that blends innovation with peace of mind, here’s why Loop-Loc is the only name you need to know.

Unmatched Safety That Goes Beyond Expectations

Loop-Loc safety covers are renowned for their exceptional safety features. Constructed from durable, high-tensile mesh or solid materials, these covers are built to support the weight of children, pets, and even full-grown adults in emergency situations. Their proprietary Secure-A-Gap, CABLE-LOC™, and GAPGUARD® Child Safety Intrusion Barrier systems are designed to eliminate dangerous gaps between the cover and the pool edge—ensuring complete, tamper-resistant coverage.

Unlike standard covers that can sag or loosen over time, Loop-Loc’s design stays taut and secure, giving homeowners added assurance that their pool is completely sealed when not in use. For families with young children or pets, choosing Loop-Loc isn’t just a preference—it’s a necessity. As trusted pool contractors in NY, Big Becks only installs covers that meet our rigorous safety standards, and Loop-Loc exceeds them all.

Custom-Fitted to Your Pool’s Unique Shape

No two pools are exactly alike—and Loop-Loc knows that. Each cover is custom-designed to precisely match your pool’s contours, steps, waterfalls, and features. Using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and exact measurements, Loop-Loc produces covers that fit snugly and securely, whether your pool is rectangular, freeform, or uniquely shaped.

This custom-fit not only enhances safety but also improves aesthetics. The clean, tailored look of a Loop-Loc cover elevates your backyard even during the off-season. At Big Becks, our team conducts detailed site assessments to ensure your cover is fabricated to perfection and installed with care. We take pride in delivering solutions that are as stylish as they are secure.

Durability That Withstands the Harshest Conditions

New York winters can be brutal—but Loop-Loc covers are engineered to endure them. Their patented mesh materials allow water to drain while blocking sunlight and debris, preventing algae growth and making spring openings cleaner and faster. Solid cover options come with automatic pumps or drain panels, offering flexibility based on your pool’s needs and your maintenance preferences.

Loop-Loc covers are also resistant to mildew, UV rays, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Their double-thick straps, non-corrosive hardware, and reinforced stitching make them incredibly long-lasting, even under constant seasonal stress. Many covers are backed by a 15-year prorated warranty, giving you long-term confidence in your investment.

When you choose Big Becks Pools and Pavers, you’re not just getting a pool cover—you’re getting premium protection built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions: The Science of Pool Safety

What exactly does “ASTM-Certified” mean for my pool safety?

The ASTM F1346-91 standard is the rigorous industry benchmark that distinguishes a true safety cover from a standard winter tarp. To earn this certification, a cover must pass exhaustive outside testing, proving it can support a static load of at least 485 pounds (the equivalent of two adults and one child) to allow for emergency rescue operations. It also ensures the cover has no openings large enough for a child to pass through and prevents unsafe water accumulation on the surface. Loop-Loc covers don’t just meet these requirements—they are the only mesh covers to earn U.L. certification for safety year after year.

How do patented features like GAPGUARD® and CABLE-LOC™ work?

These exclusive safety barriers are designed to close the “vulnerable zones” where a cover meets an obstruction. GAPGUARD® is a specialized vinyl extrusion that seals the dangerous gaps created when a cover meets a raised wall or step. CABLE-LOC™ uses a high-strength stainless steel cable to secure the cover against raised walls where traditional anchors cannot be used. Without these patented features, curious children or pets could potentially slip into the water at the pool’s edge; with them, your pool has an unbreakable “lock” from every angle.

Is it true that a Loop-Loc cover can support the weight of an elephant?

Yes. The legendary “Bubbles the Elephant” campaign was a real-world demonstration of Loop-Loc’s superior break strength. While the ASTM standard requires support for 485 pounds, Loop-Loc uses 30% stronger polyester bonded thread and double-perimeter webbing to achieve a weight-bearing capacity in the thousands of pounds. While we never recommend walking on the cover (as sharp hooves or high heels can damage the fabric), this extreme engineering provides a massive margin of safety for your family in the event of an accidental fall.

How does the CAD-measurement process improve the safety of my installation?

A safety cover is only as effective as its fit. If a cover is even slightly too loose, it can sag and create a drowning hazard. Big Becks uses advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and laser-guided measurements to map your pool’s exact perimeter, including all custom curves and features. This data is used to manufacture a cover with a “glove-like” fit, ensuring the material remains drum-tight like a trampoline. This tension is vital for proper drainage and ensures that children and pets cannot gain access to the water underneath.

What are the critical maintenance steps to keep my safety cover ASTM-compliant?

To ensure your cover maintains its safety rating and 15-year warranty, you must follow three key rules:

1. Water Level: Keep the pool water level between 15” and 18” below the deck for mesh covers (12″–16″ for solid). If the water drops lower, the cover loses its secondary support and can overstress the hardware.

2. Spring Tension: Springs should remain compressed to approximately 60% to 75% to maintain a taut surface.

3. Visual Inspection: Regularly check for any UV deterioration or small tears caused by fallen branches, as these can compromise the cover’s weight-bearing integrity.
