Hidden Pool Cover Sydney: Complete Guide to Concealed Pool Cover Systems
If you're looking for a hidden pool cover in Sydney that delivers a premium, clutter-free finish — while protecting your pool from heat loss, debris and evaporation — you’re in the right place. At Aussie Undercover, we’ve been specialising in concealed pool cover systems since 2008, installing them everywhere from Mosman and Vaucluse to Castle Hill, Cronulla and the Inner West.
Sydney’s outdoor living culture, high property values and architectural pool designs make hidden covers the go-to option when functionality and appearance both matter.

Who This Is For
Perfect if you’re:

Real Local Sydney 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.
