Le Banc By AstralPool® is a modern and attractive solution to elegantly house an above-ground automatic pool cover, compatible with pools under construction or as part of a renovation project. Made in France, it can also be used as a piece of outdoor furniture and is perfect for sunbathing.
Customisable outdoor equipment, available in solar-powered or motorised versions
It can fit into any environment thanks to its full customisation. With its tailor-made design, Le Banc By AstralPool® can be finished in white or wood-effect PVC, with a mix of finishes on the top and sides if so desired, or even no finish at all for custom exteriors. The whole unit can seamlessly blend into the customer's pool space. What's more, it offers a unique and relaxing place to sit and take in the sun.
A solar version is also available, with a kit consisting of a solar panel discretely inserted into the upper panelling, a charge controller, a 24V battery and a limit switch. A motorised electric version is also available, which includes a limit switch, salt chlorinator connector, and comes with a 5-year warranty on the motor, as well as a mobile solar version on rails.
Le Banc By AstralPool® solar version
Two configurations are offered depending on whether it's for a pool under construction or part of a renovation:
- Le Grand Banc for pools measuring 5 x 10 m or 5 x 12 m (with or without side panelling respectively);
- Le Petit Banc for pools measuring 5 x 7 m or 5 x 9 m (with or without side panelling respectively);
The ultra-modern above-ground cover can be controlled from a secure control panel, or by using the COVER Connect (NF P90-308) smartphone app. If choosing the latter option, the wall-mounted wireless control panel comes equipped with a Bluetooth receiver (not compatible with solar version).
