Luckily, these are excellent candidates for DIY safety cover repair. Strong anchors and clips are vital to maintaining a cover that’s ready to prevent accidental drownings. If you aren’t confident in your sewing ability, have multiple broken straps, or several straps are showing signs of premature wear, contact a pool cover repair pro for advice. A single broken strap can be repaired by running a new web strap through the clip and then attaching that new strap to the remaining strap half attached to your pool cover using a running stitch to create a box with an X through the center where the two join, doubling this stitching a second time for strength.A simple running stitch that outlines the full length and width of the strap from where it begins just past the clip to where it ends directly before the original strap is attached to the mesh of the pool cover should suffice. Straps that simply show signs of weathering can be reinforced by stitching a high-tensile strength web strap of equal width over the existing strap. These methods should only be used if you’re confident with a thread and needle, as the stretching and contracting movement of the strapping under tension makes adhesives impractical for these repairs. Worn and weathered straps can be reinforced to keep them strong enough to support your pool safety cover.
