Drone measuring can help you save time, reduce human measuring errors, and simplify tough layouts (especially freeform pools). MEY-Measure can measure pools or existing covers in just 10–15 minutes. It’s also ideal for replacement covers when anchors already exist and need to be matched accurately.
Drone measuring uses overhead aerial photos to capture the pool shape, cover perimeter, and anchor layout. Those images are processed to generate accurate measurements for designing a custom-fit safety cover—without traditional templates or manual measuring.
Not necessarily. To remake a Meyco safety cover, all you need is the serial number. If the cover is not available or the pool owner does not have a record of the cover’s serial number, it may be necessary to re-measure the pool.
The entire measuring process typically takes just 10–15 minutes. It’s a fast, accurate, and easy method that requires only 10 measurements.
Drone measuring can be highly accurate when photos are properly captured and the required markers and measurements are included. Accuracy depends heavily on photo quality, correct setup, and following the step-by-step measuring procedure. Meyco Drone Measure Guide MEY-Measure Form

Keep the drone altitude at a minimum height so that the camera’s field of view captures all measurement discs, anchors and most of the pool deck.
