We don’t recommend doing that.
In order to qualify as a safety pool cover and maintain Meyco’s 12-year pro-rated warranty, the cover must fit the exact shape of your swimming pool.
If a cover is too large – or not shaped to fit your pool – there may be overlap on the deck or into landscaped areas. If this occurs, your cover will wear much faster and could sustain damage not covered by the warranty.
As needed, Meyco covers have abrasive wear strips sewn on the underside of the webbing for added protection in areas where they come in contact with the coping edge. The use of a rectangular cover means that certain straps will not have these strips or they will not line up over the coping. This could result in excessive wear that is not covered under warranty.
Using a cover that is not designed to fit your pool’s shape will also keep you from being able to properly tension the cover – voiding all safety features and the pro-rated warranty.
If you have a custom-shaped pool, a swimming pool professional can provide the proper measure and installation for a properly fitted and tensioned cover that will keep your pool secure.
