Tension Spring for Pool Winter Cover Straps - SCP Europe
Tension Spring for Winter Cover Strap
It is placed between the anchor point and the strap to maintain constant tension on the winter tarp.
This tension spring is installed on each strap of the winter tarp, between the ground anchor and the strap.
It maintains constant tension on the strap—and therefore on the tarp—throughout the winter.
The spring compensates for changes in tension rather than allowing the strap to slacken or pull too tightly on the cover.
It is one of the accessories used to secure winter covers, along with ground anchors and strap tensioners.
Installation: Hook the spring onto the piton, then attach the strap to it and adjust the tension.
Repeat this process for each strap on the tarp.
Brand: SCP Europe.

Installation
Hook one end of the spring to the mounting eye.
Attach the other end to the tarp strap.
Adjust the strap so that the spring is slightly taut, then repeat for each strap.
Check that the tension is even all around the pond.
ℹ️ Good to know: Without a spring, the strap may loosen or, conversely, pull too tightly on the tarp depending on conditions. The spring absorbs these variations and maintains even tension.
⭐ Tip from the team: Use one spring per strap and check them when preparing the pool for winter: replace any that are loose or corroded before installing the cover.
