Tension Spring for Swimming Pool Winter Cover Straps - SCP Europe
Tension spring for winter tarp strap
It is placed between the anchor 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 thus on the tarp—throughout the winter.
The spring compensates for variations in tension instead of 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 anchor hook.
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 the way around the pond.
ℹ️ Good to know: Without a spring, the strap may loosen or, conversely, pull too tightly on the cover 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 storage; replace any that are loose or rusted before installing the cover.
