Pool openings, closings and winter service

Spring opening, fall closing, winter visits after closing, and shrink wrapping for patio furniture.

Opening is for spring, closing is for fall, and the winter service is typically a separate set of visits after the pool has been closed.

Spring: pool opening

  • Getting the pool ready for the swimming season

Fall: pool closing

  • Closing and winterizing the pool for the cold months

Winter: service package after closing

  • Typically a couple of visits after closing
  • Clean and pull back the cover
  • Vacuum debris
  • Reinstall the cover
  • Closing and winter service are different things: closing happens once, winter service is the visits after it.
  • Timing is typical and is confirmed with the business when you call.

Patio furniture shrink wrapping

Shrink wrapping typically means wrapping outdoor furniture in a protective plastic film so it stays covered through the winter. The Pool Guyz lists patio furniture shrink wrapping as a service; ask when you call what it involves for your furniture.

Timing questions

When should I book a closing?

Closing is a fall job, so ask before you plan to stop using the pool. The business confirms dates when you call.

Is winter service the same as closing?

No. Closing comes first. The winter service package is the visits after closing.

What is shrink wrapping?

Typically, outdoor furniture is wrapped in protective plastic film to keep it covered through winter.

Can I get only an opening or only a closing?

Yes. Both are available on their own, or as part of the maintenance package.
