Integrating a Pool Auto-Cover Track into a Pinellas Paver Deck

Automatic pool covers are common on Pinellas rebuilds because they cut debris and heat loss. The cover track and lid sit at the same elevation as the deck, so a paver field that ignores the box will chip, rock, or trap water against the mechanism. PaverForge Hardscapes builds the deck around the track instead of treating it as an afterthought.

Details that keep the cover serviceable

• A formed recess or sleeper so the lid sits flush with the finished paver plane.

• Pitch that sheds water off the lid, not into the track housing.

• Units cut so they can be lifted when the cover tech needs the motor end.

• No polymeric sand packed against moving parts or weep paths.

Coordinate with the cover installer

We want the cover template before final cuts. If the installer has not set the box, we leave a protected opening and finish the field after. That is slower than guessing the width, and it is the only way the lid and the coping stay on one plane.
