Composite based leading edge kit for a pool and/or spa cover system
Provided is a pool and/or spa cover leading edge kit for use with a pool and/or spa cover system. The kit includes at least two annular shaped fiber reinforced polymer composite segments capable of being axially aligned and interconnected at their abutting ends with each annular shaped fiber reinforced polymer composite segment having an axial length of from 3 feet to 20 feet. The kit also includes at least one joiner capable of interconnecting together a pair of abutting axially aligned annular shaped fiber reinforced polymer composite segments at their axial ends to form a segmented leading edge with an overall axial length of from 6 feet to 50 feet that is capable of being coupled to a pool and/or spa cover. The at least two annular shaped fiber reinforced polymer composite segments of the segmented leading edge include at least one of continuous fibers or discontinuous fibers oriented at least partially in the axial direction and encapsulated by a thermoset or thermoplastic resin matrix. After installation on the pool or spa, the segmented leading edge provides a deflection across the width of the pool or spa of from 0 to less than or equal to 0.10 inches per 10 feet of width of the pool or spa, and has a linear weight per foot of from 4 to 14 ounces per foot of axial length.
