Coverstar automatic pool covers offer multiple configuration options to match different pool structures and design requirements. Fabric selection, track systems, coping styles, and control switches must be coordinated with the build to ensure proper fit and integration.
These selections should be finalized during structural planning so vault layout, track alignment, and electrical routing are handled correctly.
Coverstar covers use a heat-sealed webbing system that bonds the webbing to the cover material in a single process. This construction method is designed to improve attachment strength along stress points.
The fabric is manufactured from heavy-duty vinyl material engineered for durability and environmental exposure. Specifications include:
Automatic pool cover tracks must be installed in a rectangular configuration to allow proper open and close operation. Coverstar offers several track systems to accommodate new construction, renovation, and freeform layouts.
Under Track Systems
Installed beneath the deck, either encapsulated into the pool wall or mounted under coping. Commonly used in new construction or deck resurfacing projects where a concealed appearance is preferred. Encapsulated systems can also support pool-in-pool applications effectively.
Standard Top Track Systems
Surface-mounted directly onto the finished deck, sitting approximately ½ inch above the surface. Often used on existing pools or in situations where a recessed installation is not practical. This option provides reliable functionality without modifying existing decking.
Recessed Top Track Systems
Aluminum track embedded into the deck for a smooth, flush appearance. Available in horizontal, vertical, and screw-down configurations. Choice depends on project conditions and structural access requirements. Ideal for projects seeking a clean, integrated look.
Coping style directly impacts track positioning and structural layout. Coverstar offers both aluminum and concrete coping configurations.
Aluminum Coping Styles
Concrete Coping StylesCoping must be selected before structural work is finalized to ensure proper system alignment.
Coverstar systems offer three weatherproof control switch configurations.
Touch Screen Controller
Four-digit PIN code access for cover operation.

Electrical placement and conduit routing should be coordinated during construction.
I’ve been installing automatic pool covers for over 10 years, working on everything from straightforward builds to complex vanishing edge and perimeter overflow projects. I have hands-on experience with hidden track systems, concealed vault lids, hidden leading edge installations, and specialty finishes like stone and tile lids with stainless steel trays.
I’ve worked with Aquamatic, Coverstar, Automatic Pool Covers, and Cover-Pools systems, handling installation, maintenance, and repairs. No matter the setup, I focus on getting it aligned and operating the way it should.
I moved to the United States when I was six, spent two years in Florida, and have lived in Michigan for nearly 30 years. I’m married to my wife Carmen, and we have a daughter, Adaly, and a newborn son, Oscar. My family is what motivates me to keep growing and doing things the right way.
Outside of work, I enjoy resin epoxy projects, carpentry, working on cars, fishing, and spending time with my family.
Christopher brings a strong mechanical mindset and a practical, solution-oriented approach to every project. He has spent eight years in the pool industry, with experience in both renovations and new construction, giving him a well-rounded understanding of how systems are built, rebuilt, and corrected in the field.
Before entering the pool industry, Christopher spent over eleven years in customer service and sales, along with four years in finance. That background shows up in how he communicates, how he approaches problem-solving, and how he works with builders and homeowners. Clear conversations. Thoughtful recommendations. No shortcuts.
He grew up working in the garage with his dad, learning how things come apart and go back together. That early hands-on experience shaped the way he thinks today. He enjoys digging into mechanical challenges, finding practical solutions, and looking for cost-effective improvements that make systems function better.
Christopher is deeply rooted in family values. Married to his wife Amber for fifteen years and father to Bella and Jackson, he believes business should be done with care, honesty, and respect. He approaches projects the same way he would if they were for his own family.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, working on and modifying vehicles, and playing video games when time allows.
