At Safety Grip™, we know that something as simple as a pool handrail cover can completely transform your swimming experience. Not only do handrail coverings enhance the look of your pool area, but they also provide an essential layer of safety and comfort. The right cover can prevent painful burns from sun-heated metal and offer a soft, secure grip—especially helpful for children, older adults, and anyone who just wants a more pleasant way to enter or exit the pool.

So, how do you choose the best pool handrail covers for your home? Here’s what to look for.

Start with Safety and Comfort

When selecting a handrail cover, your first concern should be how it feels and functions. At Safety Grip™, our covers are engineered to improve your grip and protect your hands from hot rails during sunny days. They also reduce the risk of slips and falls by offering a stable, cushioned surface you can rely on.

The key to this comfort is our proprietary bicomponent construction, which combines a tough outer layer with a soft, textured core. This unique design balances durability with a noticeably better grip, giving you peace of mind every time you use your pool.

Choose a Handrail Cover That Fits Right—And Stays in Place

Not all pool ladder covers and handrail coverings are created equal. Fit matters. A loose or poorly installed cover can bunch up, slide, or even pose a hazard of its own. That’s why Safety Grip™ handrail covers come in a wide range of sizes, from 2′ to 12′, to accommodate most standard residential handrails.

Each cover includes a heavy-duty marine-grade zipper that makes installation quick and secure. Plus, our covers are UV-resistant, so they won’t fade, crack, or become brittle under the sun—meaning you’ll enjoy both looks and performance for seasons to come.

Consider Your Climate and Pool Use

If you live in an area with intense summer heat, you know just how blistering a metal pool rail can get. Our handrail coverings help eliminate that shock of heat when you grab the rail on a hot day. But even in cooler climates, they still provide a layer of comfort and protection that makes your pool more inviting.

For high-traffic pools—like those in neighborhoods with lots of family or weekend guests—our covers are an easy upgrade that shows your attention to detail. You’re creating a more enjoyable, safer pool environment without needing a complicated installation or costly renovation.

Style Matters Too

The best pool handrail covers do more than perform well—they look good doing it. With a wide range of colors, Safety Grip™ covers complement any pool style, from sleek, modern designs to classic backyard getaways. Add a polished finishing touch that also works hard behind the scenes to enhance comfort and safety.

Think of your pool’s handrail as more than a functional piece of metal. With the right handrail cover, it becomes a custom accessory that reflects your style and your commitment to comfort and safety.

Don’t Forget About the Pool Ladder Cover

Pool ladders often get overlooked, but they’re just as important as handrails when it comes to safety and comfort. Our pool ladder covers work the same way as our rail covers—providing a soft, heat-resistant grip that’s perfect for climbing in and out of the water. They’re a small detail that makes a big difference, especially for kids or anyone who needs extra stability getting in or out of the pool.
