What is a pool safety net cover?
Why is a Safety net so secure
Our pool safety net is a mesh net that covers the pool. It is designed to stop children from falling into the pool. Should a child fall onto a net they are supported off the water. Arms and legs get stuck in the mesh and this is uncomfortable. They begin to cry which will alert a care giver. The 80mm mesh will not allow a childs head to get stuck. The Aqua-Net adheres to international safety standards along with our own SABS SANS10134. It is custom-fitted to your pool and is secured with child-proof anchors. The 80mm mesh keeps your pool visible and 100% safe. The Aqua-Net Pool Net is South Africa’s leading safety net — trusted by thousands of families.

Who Is This Pool Safety Net Cover Ideal For?
Parents of Babies & Toddlers
Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death for children under five. The Aqua-Net is specifically designed to prevent unsupervised access to pools and ensure that even if a child manages to climb over an obstacle, they will be stopped by the net. The net catches them in place, and the discomfort causes them to cry — alerting adults to the danger.
Grandparents with Visiting Children
For grandparents who don’t want to permanently alter their pool area, Aqua-Net is the ideal non-invasive safety solution. It’s visually discreet, easy to remove, and even easier to refit. You can keep the pool open for adult use, then make it child-safe in under five minutes.
Guest Houses & Airbnbs
The net’s SABS SANS 10134 compliance ensures your rental or guest house is child-friendly, responsible, and aligned with safety standards. Its neat design keeps your property looking clean and uncluttered — no fences, no poles, just a safe pool.
