Safety is #1 and therefore all components of a Katchakid net system are designed with longevity and quality in mind.
Anchors
Flush style anchors are most widely used, they come in brass and nylon. The nylon anchors come in Cream, Gray and Terracotta. This style anchor is best for flat surfaces from concrete to slate.
Brass Anchors
Durable Marine Grade Brass gives you a harder surface for increased wear resistance.
Nylon Anchors
Injection Molded Nylon Component. Color Coordinated. Corrosion Resistant. Good Adhesion/Bonding Properties.
Vertical Mounts (Pad-Eye)
Grade 316 Stainless Steel Pad-Eye-Round Cross Section. Round Body Prevents Chafe of Rope. Maximum Corrosion Resistance/Durability.
Vertical Connectors (Wall Anchor)
Grade 316 Stainless Steel Spring Clip. Maximum Corrosion Resistance/Durability.
Fasteners (Net Hooks)
Grade 316 Stainless Steel Precision Engineered. Conical Head Ensures Reliable Performance/Tangle Resistance.
Netting
Your net kit is available in Black, Blue or Sand/Tan color options.
Pool Mesh Material
4mm & 5mm High Density.
Polyethylene (m) Fiber: Saturated with Non-substituted Aliphatic Hydrocarbons. Chemically Treated with Stabilized Inhibitors. Machine Formed Heat Stented Knots.
Superior Tensile Strength. Maximum UV Deterioration Resistance. Waterproof. Resilient to Bases, Acids & Solvents. Guaranteed Accuracy/Uniformity of Mesh. Size/Knot Tightness.
Central Tension System
The Katchakid Pool net has a built in Central Tension System (CTS) that can be adjusted from tight to very tight and is designed in such a way that it cannot be removed by most children under the age of 12 years.
The CTS is a multifaceted system that uses a series of pulley's set in a circular fashion, which open and close to control the tension of the net. The correct configuration and size of the CTS together among a necessary amount of pulleys determine a pool net's efficiency. The Katchakid uses an average of 12 to 16 pulleys per net.
Central Tensioning System Pulleys
Modified Nylon Compound. Injection Molded Internal Steel Shaft. Buoyant, Resists Oils & Solvents. Corrosion Resistant. High Load/Low Friction. Prevents Rope Slippage.
Central Tension Rope
Polyester Fiber. Braided Exterior, Internal Core of Continuous Multifilament.
Meets Standards MIL-DTL-24677B. Good Abrasion Resistance. Breaking Tenacity 3,400 lbs. High Strength/Low Elastic Elongation.
Hand Tensioner
The standard net tensioner included with the Katchakid DIY pool net system is the easy grip “Hand Tensioner”.
Featuring injection molded components with a die-cast anti-friction internal mechanism. This tool pulls up to 250lbs of tension and aids fast removal and replacement of the pool net.
Advantages
Lightweight
Quick & convenient
Faster line speeds
Easy to use and store
EZ-Off Roller
The Katchakid EZ-Off lightweight, portable storage roller is constructed from high-quality, rigid PVC, with a pressure rating of W.P PSI 370. ASTM D1785 Compliant.
The EZ-Off Roller makes removal of the pool netting easier. In general, it takes 3-5 minutes to remove and 5-8 minutes to replace the pool netting cover over an average swimming pool. With the EZ-OFF Roller, the net can be removed from the pool area and stored until required.
Remember all pool safety barriers, covers, gates… are supplementary pool safety aids and not a substitute for the undivided and constant supervision of an adult.
Pool covers can never replace adult supervision nor can they be a guarantee against drowning or other accidents.
Always replace your cover after swimming. Experts agree that multiple layers of protection offer the best protection against drowning and near drowning incidents.
The most at risk are children under 5 years of age so always be extra vigilant with children in this age group.
EZ-Close Tensioner
Available as an upgrade to the Katchakid pool netting cover system is the EZ-Close Tensioner.
Stream-lined engineering makes the job of tightening the pool net smooth and straightforward, requiring far less strength and effort. A stamped carbon steel frame houses efficient gear ratios, full-length drum bearings, and an oil-impregnated shaft bushing. This unit offers superb strength, long term durability, and pulls at 900lbs.
Advantages:
Requires less space to operate
Minimal strain to tighten or release your Central Tensioning System
No pulling or tugging
Compact and aesthetically pleasing
Superb Strength/Long-Term Durability.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Provides up to 900 lbs of tension force.
