Stock Tank Pool PVC Cover Frame Center Bracket
Stop the Sag Eliminate the biggest headache of owning an above-ground or stock tank pool: covers collapsing under the weight of trapped rainwater and rotting debris. This custom-engineered center hub is the key enabling component for building a DIY, umbrella-style domed pool cover frame.
How It Works: This hub acts as the structural anchor for your frame. It is precisely modeled to hold 8 PVC spokes at a 20-degree upward slope. Once your frame is built and your cover is pulled over it, this dome shape forces rainwater, leaves, and dust to run cleanly over the sides of the pool instead of collecting in the middle. When you are ready to swim, simply lift off a dry, debris-free cover.
Important DIY Project Note: Because pool sizes, makes, and models vary drastically, this listing is for the 3D-printed center hub only. This is the critical first piece of the puzzle that allows you to build a custom setup tailored perfectly to your specific pool.
To complete your frame, you will need to source the following materials from your local hardware store:
-
3/4" Schedule 40 PVC (For the 8 rigid structural spokes)
-
3/4" Schedule 20 PVC (Thin-walled PVC that will easily bend to form the circular perimeter)
-
Standard PVC pipe fittings and glue
-
Stainless steel hardware
-
An appropriately sized pool cover (and potentially a breathable trampoline cover to provide structural support between the PVC spokes)
Detailed instructional guidelines to be used as an example for your build are available upon request.
Proudly Designed and Manufactured in the USA.
