Although it is possible to recess a pool cover into the deck of an exisiting pool, similar to the application of most automatic covers installed on new pools, it is also common to mount an automatic cover to the deck of an existing pool and, then, hide the mechanism inside a wood or vinyl housing that surrounds the cover mechanism and functions as an actual “bench.” The solution: PCS has developed a vinyl bench kit that can be ordered with a PCS cover system for an existing pool. This easy-to-assemble, vinyl bench is attractive, requires no maintenance, and can be designed in a manner that completely hides the presence of the automatic cover when the cover is retracted. Its affordable price, simple assembly, and attractive appearance make it an ideal choice for existing-pool applications.
