Pool Cove is an economical alternative to sand coves. Pool Cove has an adhesive backing for quick installation during the pool liner installation process. It also helps prevent excessive stretching and wearing of your new pool liner.
Pool Cove is an essential part of your pool liner installation. It provides support and acts as a barrier to keep the pool liner against the ground of the pool. Pool Cove will not wash away or deteriorate over time.
Pool Liner Installation
It is essential that you install the pool cove before the pool liner installation occurs. This will allow you to add added protection to your pool liner and prevent foot prints which occurs from the traditional sand cove.

Do you put pool wall foam up before or after you do the coves? Also do you put pool flooring over sand first then coves? For example I am putting a tarp over our sand. When do I install the coves.
Hi Janice, follow these steps:
Any questions feel free to give us a call.
The back of the pool foam cove has a notch that looks to fit over the pool wall channel. If 3-4 inches is placed along entire bottom of pool from wall-to-wall, that will cover the pool wall channel. The notch will not be used. Is this correct, does it need to fit over anything? Thank you for clarifying.
Yes, you are correct. The notch will not be used. Please put the cove on top of the 3-4” of sand. This will give you the correct height for your pool liner.
Am I correct in saying first you set the pool wall up, then add 3″ of sand inside of pool wall, so it’s 3′ inches up the wall?
No, that is not correct. Here are the correct instructions for supporting your above ground pool liner: Install 3-4 inches of fine mason sand across the entire bottom of the pool from wall to wall and 4-7″ on an angle against the pool wall (this is considered the cove). The idea of a cove is to take the stress off of the liner seam (where the side vinyl wall panel is heat sealed to the bottom vinyl floor panel). This can be done with Foam Pool Cove or a basic sand cove.
