Honestly, I'd say to prepare yourself to get frustrated regarding the timeline. There is a lot of back and forth when installing automatic covers. Basically, the timeline is as follows:
Pool installed 4-6 weeks
Auto Cover Encapsulation (aka Rails) scheduled & installed 1-3 weeks*
Patio installation 3+ weeks (varies per contractor, material availability, weather, etc.).
Auto Cover lid brackets, mechanism & cover installed. 1-3 weeks**
*The auto cover is measured at the time of the encapsulation installation and then placed on order. The auto cover is specifically made for your pool. Orders typically take up to 8 weeks to ship THEN the installation is scheduled.
**The auto cover lid brackets are installed at the same time as the mechanism & cover. This is done AFTER the patio has been completed. The patio company will need to return to cut their lid stones to size and install them afterward.
