Hidden Pool Covers: The Sleek and Stylish Way to Protect Your Pool

If you’re looking for a pool cover that offers practicality without spoiling your backyard’s look, a hidden pool cover is the perfect solution. At Aussie UnderCover, we’ve spent years designing covers that blend seamlessly with your surroundings — giving you the best of both worlds: functionality and aesthetics.

Below, we will walk you through what makes hidden pool covers so special, the different options available, installation considerations, a local cost guide, and even a real Aussie UnderCover case study.

What Is a Hidden Pool Cover?

A hidden pool cover is exactly what it sounds like — a pool cover that disappears into your pool’s design. Unlike bulky or exposed roller systems, our systems are completely concealed beneath your deck, tiles or coping when not in use. When rolled out, they keep your pool clean and energy-efficient.

As pool builders and pool owners ourselves, we understand how important it is for your outdoor area to stay beautiful. That’s why every Aussie UnderCover system is engineered to be sleek, low-profile and unobtrusive. Once installed, you’ll barely notice it’s there — until you need it.

Hidden pool covers have become incredibly popular across Australia for their efficiency and modern design in one smart system. Whether you’re building a new pool or upgrading an existing one, they’re a practical investment that adds real value to your home.

How Hidden Pool Covers Work

Every Aussie UnderCover system is made up of three key components:

1. The Roller System: Hidden beneath your deck or inside a lid cavity for easy rolling and unrolling.
2. The Lid System: Ready to apply a material to match your pool’s finish, keeping the system invisible and cohesive with your outdoor design.
3. The Pool Cover: Designed to fit snugly over the water’s surface to prevent evaporation, heat loss and debris build-up.

Operation is effortless — either by a manual winding handle or remote-controlled motor. Whichever system you choose, you’ll enjoy smooth, reliable performance every time you open or close your pool.

Operation Options: Manual vs Motorised

Manual Hidden Pool Covers

Manual systems are perfect for smaller pools or homeowners who prefer a simple, cost-effective option. With a self-supporting handle, you can roll the cover on or off in minutes — no wiring required.

Motorised or Remote Systems

If you want maximum convenience, our motorised hidden pool covers can be operated with the touch of a remote button. A discreet motor winds away and assists the unwind of the cover, making it ideal for larger pools or high-end designs.

Safety Note: Electrical bonding and equipotential is not generally required. Refer to your certifier to ensure compliance with Australian Standards.

The Benefits of Hidden Pool Covers

Hidden pool covers do more than look good — they deliver a range of practical benefits that make pool ownership easier and more sustainable.

1. Energy and Water Efficiency

Did you know that up to 90 per cent of pool water loss is caused by evaporation? Our hidden pool cover systems dramatically reduce this, helping conserve both water and heat.

• Lower water bills and chemical use
• Reduce heating costs by retaining warmth
• Keep leaves and debris out, saving hours of cleaning
  

Over time, these savings make your investment pay for itself.

2. Aesthetic Appeal

Let’s face it — a traditional pool cover can be an eyesore. Hidden systems, on the other hand, enhance your pool area’s design.

Because our pool cover systems are integrated with your decking or tiles, the finish remains clean, modern and uncluttered. It’s a solution that looks as good as it performs.

Installing on Existing Pools

If you already have a pool, retrofitting a hidden cover is entirely possible — but it may require some structural adjustment. In most cases, you will needto remove a section of decking or paving to create a housing pit or cavity for the roller system.

While this adds a bit to the upfront cost, the long-term benefits in protection, savings and aesthetics far outweigh the effort.

Installing with New Pool Construction

If you’re building a new pool, it’s the perfect time to integrate a hidden cover from the start. This allows for flawless alignment with your deck and coping, while reducing overall installation costs.

Your builder and our team can work together to ensure the system fits perfectly — making it part of the pool’s structure rather than an afterthought.

Hidden Pool Cover Maintenance Tips

Your hidden pool cover system is built to last, but a little care goes a long way.

Simple maintenance practices include:

• Rinsing debris off the cover regularly
• Checking for wear or frayed edges
• Keeping the roller box clear of leaves or water
• Using non-abrasive cleaning products. Refer to our Quarterly Maintenance Guide
• Trimming nearby trees to prevent excessive debris
  

With these easy steps, your cover will stay in top condition for years.
