Pool safety

Protect your family.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children under five. In most cases it happens in a familiar setting — a backyard pool — in less than two minutes, often silently. A properly installed ASTM-certified safety cover is one of the most effective physical barriers available: Meyco covers are engineered to support the weight of two adults and a child, and drain rainwater so there is no standing water. But a cover is one layer — real pool safety uses several, working together.

Children playing in a pool at night under supervision

Use a certified safety cover

ASTM F1346-certified covers like Meyco are designed to prevent accidental access and support the weight of adults and children.

Install a pool fence

A four-sided fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate adds a critical barrier between young children and the water.

Active supervision

Designate a 'water watcher' when children are swimming — someone whose sole focus is watching the pool, not their phone.

Learn CPR

Knowing CPR can save a life in the minutes before emergency services arrive. Take a class — it takes just a few hours.

Swimming lessons

Enroll children in age-appropriate swimming lessons early. Swimming ability significantly reduces drowning risk.

Use pool alarms

Pool alarms, door alarms, and wearable alarms for children add additional layers of protection beyond a safety cover.

ASTM F1346 certification

What does ASTM-certified mean?

ASTM F1346 is the industry standard for safety pool covers. Covers certified to this standard must pass strict tests for load-bearing strength, water drainage, and the prevention of entrapment. All Meyco safety covers — MeycoLite, RuggedMesh, and PermaGuard — meet or exceed this standard. Look for the ASTM certification mark on any safety cover you purchase.

Who we are
Palm trees reflected in a backyard pool at sunset

At Backyard Direct, what we do is simple — but what it means is everything.

I started Backyard Direct because I saw something important: too many families were overlooking one of the most critical parts of pool ownership — safety. Not just convenience. Not just appearance. But real, dependable protection.

That belief led me to partner with one of the most trusted names in the industry — Meyco Pool Covers — a company known for quality, durability, and innovation. Together, we're able to bring customers products I truly stand behind.

But Backyard Direct is more than a retailer. I help homeowners find the right solution, not just any solution. Whether you're purchasing a brand-new pool cover, replacing an old one, or simply need a small repair or part, I guide you every step of the way — making the process simple, clear, and stress-free. Because every pool, every home, and every family is different.

From selecting the perfect fit to extending the life of your existing cover, I'm here to make sure your investment works exactly the way it should — keeping your pool protected and your loved ones safe.

At the end of the day, Backyard Direct isn't just about pool covers. It's about trust. It's about safety. And it's about showing up for customers with the same care I would for my own family.

Proud to serve you. — Backyard Direct USA

FAQ

Common questions, clear answers.

How do I know what size cover to order?
We recommend sending us your pool dimensions along with any step or ledge details. Use our measuring guide or simply send us photos — we will confirm the exact size before you order. We would rather spend the time upfront than ship the wrong cover.
How long does shipping take?
Stock covers in standard sizes ship within 24–36 hours of your order. Custom covers are typically 4–6 weeks from Meyco's production facility. We will give you a firm timeline at order confirmation.
What is covered under warranty?
All Meyco safety covers come with a 12-year manufacturer warranty across the line. If anything goes wrong, we handle the warranty claim on your behalf. You deal with us, not the manufacturer.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes — Backyard Direct ships covers anywhere in the country. Most customers install the cover themselves with the included installation rod, or have their pool company install it. We do not currently offer installation services ourselves.
What is the difference between MeycoLite, RuggedMesh, and PermaGuard?
MeycoLite is our entry-level lightweight mesh cover — easy to handle and a great value. RuggedMesh has a tighter weave with 99% UV blocking — keeps more debris out and gives you cleaner water at opening. PermaGuard is our top-tier solid cover with 95% UV blocking — keeps your pool the cleanest of the three lines. We can help you pick the right one.
Can I get a custom cover for an unusual pool shape?
Yes. If your pool shape is not available as a stock cover, we will work with Meyco to create a custom-fit cover. Send us a custom cover request through the request form above and we will get back to you with sizing and pricing.
How do I order a replacement cover?
Send us a replacement cover request through the request form above. Include your pool shape, size, and the model and color of your existing cover if you know it. We will confirm the details and send you a quote.
What if I need replacement parts or repairs?
We stock genuine Meyco replacement parts — anchors, springs, straps, buckles, and more. For repair patches, select your cover model and color in the repairs section. Parts and repair orders can be placed directly on this page.
