What Is Pool Shield and Why Is It Better Than a Tarp?
🔹 What Is Pool Shield?
Pool Shield is a 24' x 48' breathable mesh cover system engineered to protect pools from nails, debris, and rust damage during roofing jobs.
It’s built from the same industrial-grade material as The Catch-All and is designed specifically for pool-side jobs where tarps fall short.
It folds easily and fits into a standard Catch-All net bag for simple transport and storage.
🔹 The Problem With Using a Tarp
Most roofers toss a tarp over the pool. Here’s what happens:
- Traps moisture underneath, leading to musty smells
- Collects water on top, which spills debris back into the pool when removed
- Slides around in the wind, exposing the surface
- Destroys the clean look of the job site
And once a nail rusts on the plaster pool line? That’s a full resurfacing bill—not a touch-up.
🔹 Why Pool Shield Is Different
- 24' x 48' breathable netting allows water to pass through—no puddles, no mildew
- Won’t trap heat like a tarp, which can cause chemical reactions or stink
- Engineered tension keeps the net taut and secure, even in windy conditions
- Clear perimeter visibility so crews can see where the pool edge is at all times
- Lightweight and easy to fold for quick setup and takedown
🔹 Professional Look. Professional Results.
Homeowners notice when the pool area is protected professionally—not just tossed a sheet. It shows you’re thinking about their entire property, not just the shingles.
“Nobody wants to swim in rust water after a re-roof. Pool Shield is how pros prevent that call-back.”
