Adding a pool cove is one of the best ways to ensure a long-lasting, damage-free pool liner. A pool cove is a piece of wedge foam that creates a clean, gradual slope from the wall base to the pool floor. The gradual slope takes the load off the liner bead or coping strips. The cover also prevents the liner from sliding under the pool wall or getting pinched or ripped by the pool’s frame components.

There are two types of pool cover, the most common being the peel-and-stick pool cove, with an adhesive backing that ensures quick and easy installation. The less common premium clip-in pool cove clips into the pool’s bottom rim to ensure a secure, slip-proof connection.
