FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure generally relates to the field of pool coverings. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to flexible net domes for outdoor pools and methods of installing and using the same.

BACKGROUND

Use and enjoyment of outdoor pools can be impacted by bugs and debris. Some existing pool covers provide a level of protection while allowing a user to enjoy the pool, however, existing pool covers typically contain a large number of frame members and connections making them difficult to assemble and disassemble, have too many structural components thereby reducing the feeling of an outdoor experience, are heavy, perform poorly when subjected to heavy wind loads, are not easily adaptable to differently shaped pools, are often overly complex and/or are prohibitively expensive.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

In one implementation, the present disclosure is directed to a pool cover. The pool cover includes a frame that includes a pole connection member a plurality of poles, each of the plurality of poles having a first and second end; and a net fabric disposed on the frame; wherein the first end of each of the poles is coupled to the pool and the second end of each of the poles is located above the pool and coupled to the pole connection member, wherein the frame extends above the pool and defines an interior space between the frame and a surface of water in the pool to thereby allow use of the pool while the pool cover is installed on the pool.

In another implementation, the present disclosure is directed to a pool cover. The pool cover includes a frame that includes a plurality of poles each having first and second ends and a pole connection member; and a net fabric disposed on the frame; wherein the first end of each of the poles is coupled to a pool and the second end of each of the poles is located above the pool and coupled to the pole connection member, wherein the frame extends above the pool and defines an open interior space between the frame and a surface of water in the pool that is free of any elements of the pool cover to thereby allow use of the pool while the pool cover is installed on the pool; wherein each of the poles is connected to the pole connection member by an elongate flexible tension member, each of the elongate flexible tension members configured to allow for a distance between the second end of the pole and the pole connection member to be adjusted to thereby adjust a height of the pool cover.

In yet another implementation, the present disclosure is directed to a pool cover kit. The pool cover kit includes a frame that includes a plurality of poles each having first and second ends and a pole connection member; and a net fabric configured to be disposed on the frame; wherein the first end of each of the poles are configured to be coupled to a pool and the second end of each of the poles are configured to be located above the pool and coupled to the pole connection member, wherein the frame is configured to extend above the pool and define an interior space between the frame and a surface of water in the pool to thereby allow use of the pool while the pool cover is installed on the pool.
