POOL RENOVATIONS WITH A HIDDEN TWIST
04 May 2023
The beauty of the Aussie UnderCover® system is that while it completely hides a pool cover, it also gives the client the choice to get the look they are after. If pavers or tiles are being used around a pool then these can go on the lid frame, with some limitations. The same goes for all sorts of timber or composite boards, plus synthetic turf, even honed concrete. A client is not limited to an aluminium lid that can be very hot to touch in summer and is definitely not hidden away like Aussie Undercover® systems are.
A pool renovation can be a large, expensive and challenging project. This may be a very daunting process if the right people are not involved, but with the right contractor, the process is relatively stress free. Achieving simplicity with functionality is the name of the game.
When renovating, it is the ideal time to hide all the unsightly bits and pieces an outdoor area accumulates. In this project by Sharp Landscaping, an outdated pool is transformed from drab-to-fabulous. The opportunity was taken to include a semi remote-controlled Aussie UnderCover® in the revamp to completely conceal the pool cover which offers the clients a no clutter space with a clean and fresh surface for the updated pool deck area.
With the removal of old and outdated finishes, such as pebblecrete and concrete tiles, the pool area came to life with new light-coloured travertine. The unique design of the pool offers a modern style with the removal of the raised edge, which also eliminates an unsafe trip hazard.
The boundary fence and gardens have also been completely overhauled, resulting in an easy maintenance garden with a fresh and light feel, just the place to relax on the weekend.
Ballards Carpentry recently installed a stunning Aussie UnderCover® in a pool area refurbishment project in Kellyville, NSW.
Everybody wants a backyard to unwind in and with the luxury of a pool, it is the perfect place to relax, play and entertain. In this project the existing pool area has been revamped with the glass pool fence repositioned and a deck added to extend the pool entertaining area, creating the perfect spot to install a pergola and seating area. The deck has a multi-level offset access step which introduces a beautiful design and aesthetic interest.

The under-deck Aussie UnderCover® installation was very simple and quick with a seamless finished result with the pool cover totally concealed in the Trex® decking and, as a bonus, the pool cover takes up no additional space, therefore it can be installed in a high traffic area and even be covered with furniture if space is minimal.
Strategically positioned inset deck lights add further interest and most importantly safety and lovely ambient lighting at night. The peaked roof pergola and furniture finish off the area creating shelter from the sun or rain, as well as a relaxing and inviting area to observe the pool no matter the weather.

In most decking installations, the decking boards run along the length of the Aussie UnderCover® lid frame, but in this circumstance, the boards run across the lid frame to suit the deck setup. The outcome is lightly more noticeable than a lengthways installation but with the same outstanding result.
