If you have a patio or garden with a pool, and you spend a lot of time keeping the water in good condition, or the cold days have already started in your country and you no longer use it, you can create a mobile cover that also allows you to use the square meters it occupies in the garden, when you don’t use it to cool off.
This original and stylish idea will prevent you from changing the water in your pool so often due to dirt or natural evaporation. In this way, you will be reducing the consumption of this vital resource, since it is estimated that the amount of water used to fill a swimming pool is equivalent to the consumption of a family for a month.
In addition, being mobile, this cover is ideal for gardens or small patios, since it will allow you, when closed, to use the space it occupies as a resting place in the open air.
Process
To build this mobile cover for your pool, you must first take the measurements it occupies in your garden and then build a base like the one you can see in the picture. You can use pallets and build a cheap deck on top of it, which you can cover with a waterproof wooden protector to protect it from the damage it can suffer outdoors and very close to water.
Once you have the base ready, apply small wheels to the bottom, and make two grooves on the sides of the pool, where you can place rails so that the cover can move over it.
Then mount it to each rail and try it out. You may need to put a little oil to make it move more easily.
And ready! You can place your pillows, chairs, lounge chairs or even a bed that you can build yourself on top. Enjoy the outdoors!
