The innovation relates to a pool covering system that is usable as a flooring surface. The pool covering system includes brackets that support beams spanning the pool opening. The beams provide structural support to cross members and flooring placed on top of the beams. The pool covering system does not require significant drainage of the pool and does not damage the pool structure during installation and use.

Embodiments, apparatuses, and systems for improving the safety and reducing operating costs associated with owning and/or operating a pool. For example, the system may be configured as an above-surface grade deck or traversable and retractable cover for a pool basin or other yard obstruction. In some cases, the deck may include open positions to expose the pool basin and closed position to cover the pool basin.

Described is a hinged sliding assembly for a pool cover assembly including a slider member having a rod member and defining an opening, wherein the slider member is coupleable to a pool cover; and a hinged rope lock member coupled to the rod member and positioned at least partially within the opening, wherein the hinged rope lock member is coupleable to a rope of the pool cover.

A covering made from plasticized material for gaps and expansion joints in artificial pools. The covering may be formed as a thin, elongated, and flexible strip having one or more perforations for separating the strip into partitions. The covering may be treated with an ultraviolet inhibitor and may have a textured or scored surface for bonding with an adhesive. The covering is particularly adapted for concealing and protecting expansion joints located between a row of tile and the deck, or coping, of a swimming pool.
