Questions about this size

What size safety cover fits a 16 x 38 ft pool?

An 18 x 40 ft cover, the pool plus about a foot of fabric on every side so it reaches the deck anchors.

What is made in 16 x 38 ft?

One cover, the PoolTux Royal mesh in blue, cut as a plain rectangle with no step. PoolTux states a 15 year limited warranty on it, the first 3 years full.

Does it need a cover pump?

No. It is mesh and self draining, so rain and snowmelt pass through into the pool. Mesh lets some light through, which is why the algaecide dose under it is commonly doubled.

My pool has a step. Will this cover work?

No. This one is a plain rectangle. A step needs a cover cut with a step panel, stock at 8 ft wide and 4 ft back at the water line, and a step larger than that needs a custom cover.

What does the deck need?

Deck on all four sides. About a foot of the cover lies past the pool edge on each side and the anchors go through it, so there has to be concrete or paver decking to tamp a brass anchor into all the way round.
