Every Katchakid pool safety net is custom-fitted, so the price moves with the pool. The figures below are what most owners pay; for your pool, our specialists prepare a free, no-obligation estimate from aerial imagery of the property — no appointment needed.
Typical Pool Safety Net Prices
What the Complete Price Includes
- The custom-fitted Katchakid pool safety net, in Ocean Blue, Jet Black or Desert Sand.
- Central Tension System, positioned for the pool’s layout.
- Brass or nylon deck anchors, fitted flush or close to flush with the surface.
- Hand Tensioner and storage roller.
- Professional installation by a Katchakid technician, typically 4–7 hours on an average-sized pool.
- Written five-year parts-and-labor warranty.
The only true optional upgrade is the EZ-Close Tensioner. Specialty anchoring is priced into the quote, not added afterwards. See what comes with every net.
What Can Increase the Price
- Complicated or freeform pool shapes.
- Multiple elevation changes around the pool.
- Unusual features — wet bars, grottos, slides, infinity edges, rock features.
- Large pools — lengths over 42 ft or widths over 26 ft, which may need more than one Central Tension System.
- Surfaces that need specialty anchoring, such as rockwork, raised walls or wood decks.
- Driving distance to the property.
Three Sample Pools
These are illustrations of how the factors above move the price, not quotations. Your estimate is prepared for your pool.
A standard rectangular pool around 15 × 30 ft with a level concrete or paver deck and no spa. One Central Tension System, standard anchors.
A curved pool with a raised spa, a short run of rock or a waterfall feature, and a level deck elsewhere. One CTS, a mix of deck and specialty anchors.
A pool longer than 42 ft or wider than 26 ft, or one with two clearly defined centers, changing elevations and several features. Often two CTS systems and more specialty anchoring.
Separate Spa Pricing
A spa or hot tub that sits apart from the pool is usually covered with its own net, priced at $600–$995 before tax. An attached spa can often be covered by the pool net itself. Our guide to separate spa covers walks through the one-net-or-two decision.
Pool Net vs Pool Fence: Cost Considerations
Typically, a pool safety net costs less than an isolation fence that encircles the pool entirely — how much less depends on how much fencing the pool area needs, the height and finish chosen and the gates required. Fence pricing has more variables, which is why fences are quoted after a site assessment; see the pool fence cost guide. Cost is one input. The barrier you choose should be the barrier your household will use correctly every time — our net vs fence comparison sets out the trade-offs.
Pool Net + Katchaleaf Pricing
Many owners add a Katchaleaf debris cover above the net. Most Katchaleaf covers run $1,900–$3,500 before tax, and the combination is priced for the specific pool and anchor configuration by a specialist rather than through the online estimate tool. Current combination offers may be available — see current promotions for terms, and the combination page for how the two layers work.
Financing a Pool Safety Net
Katchakid offers financing through Synchrony Bank’s home improvement program on installations we carry out directly — subject to credit approval; terms and conditions apply. It works much like a dedicated credit account for home projects: apply, and if approved, pay for your installation over time under the plan terms. Some authorized Katchakid dealers offer financing and some do not, so please ask when you request your quote. Financing cannot be combined with certain promotional offers — see current offers and financing.
Prices are before applicable sales tax. Depending on the pool and its surround, a Katchakid pool safety net can be installed to meet ASTM F1346-23. No barrier is childproof, and none replaces close, constant adult supervision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most installations run $1,500–$4,000 before tax, with the average around $2,600, professional installation included. A net for a separate inground spa runs $600–$995. Roughly one in ten installations — typically larger or more complex pools — falls above this range.
A complete system: the custom-fitted net in your choice of three colors, the Central Tension System, brass or nylon deck anchors fitted flush or close to flush, the Hand Tensioner and roller, professional installation and a written five-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Complicated pool shapes, multiple elevation changes, unusual features such as wet bars, grottos, slides, infinity edges or rock features, larger pools (lengths over 42 ft or widths over 26 ft), surfaces that need specialty anchoring, and driving distance to the property.
Yes. Our specialists prepare a free, no-obligation estimate using aerial imagery of your pool, so no appointment is needed. If you would like to see netting colors in person or have an unusual setup, we are happy to arrange an in-home consultation.
Current combination offers may be available when a Katchaleaf debris cover is purchased at the same time as a pool safety net. Combinations are priced by a specialist rather than through the online estimate tool. See current promotions for terms.
