Hidden Pool Cover Perth: Complete Guide to Concealed Pool Cover Systems
If you're planning a hidden pool cover for a Perth home and want modern design, maximum heat retention, and zero exposed roller equipment, you’re in the right place. Aussie Undercover has installed concealed pool cover systems across WA since 2008 — from Scarborough and City Beach to Applecross and the Swan Valley.
With strong UV, dry winds, and backyard pools being used almost year-round, a hidden system gives Perth homeowners a cleaner, lower-maintenance pool that still looks architectural.
What This Guide Covers
This Perth edition explains:
- The 3 hidden pool cover system types available
- How they integrate with WA paving, decking & limestone surrounds
- Why they work better than exposed rollers in dry heat
- What installation looks like for both new + existing pools
- Perth-specific pool challenges — and our solutions
Who This Is For
Ideal for:
- New concrete pools in Cottesloe, Floreat, Dalkeith or Claremont
- Retrofits for 90s fibreglass pools now getting modernised
- Builders + architects designing high-end alfresco living zones
- Homeowners who want heat retention + uncluttered visual design
Why This Matters
Perth pools need protection from strong sunlight and evaporation — but visible rollers clash with the clean, coastal WA aesthetic.
Hidden pool cover systems solve that:
- No exposed roller
- Lower evaporation in hot easterly winds
- Protects water from UV loss + wind-borne dust
- Extends swim season without cranking heaters
- Keeps pool surrounds design-focused
What You’ll Learn
By the end, you’ll understand:
- How hidden systems work and disappear fully
- Which system is best for concrete vs fibreglass pools
- How installation varies between new builds + retrofits

Understanding Hidden Pool Cover Systems

- 70% less evaporation
- Cleaner water in dusty conditions
- Less UV exposure = fewer chemicals
- Perfect match for WA stone & minimalist design

Real Local Perth Customer Reviews
I recently purchased an Aussie UnderCover kit for my DIY Underground Pool Cover and had a fantastic experience with the company. They provided exceptional customer service from beginning to end and offered clear and concise instructions that made the installation process a breeze.
The finished product is a hidden gem that has transformed the look of my pool area by eliminating the need for unsightly pool covers. I highly recommend this product and commend the Aussie UnderCover team for their professionalism and expertise.
We love our Aussie UnderCover system! Great company to deal with and finished product so user friendly and amazing. Very glad we chose this and would highly recommend. Thankyou for great service and product!
We purchased a pool cover & underdeck automatic system from Aussie UnderCover when our pool was built. I would highly recommend this company not only for their inground pool cover products but also for their after sales service.
Had a great experience with Aussie Undercover. They were very attentive to the requirements that we had and worked with me to get a cover setup that would work for us. The delivery was prompt and well packaged.
The instructions with the cover were great. Our landscaper was easily able to set up the in ground concrete pit and then the installation went well. We are very happy with the out of sight pool cover that we achieved. The system that enables tiling over the lid makes a very discrete cover.
