Is it that time of the year to close your pool for another season? Yard Guard Mobile is here to help. We can help with measuring for safety, overlap and beaded covers.
Yard Guard Mobile makes it easier for the dealer to inspect their measurments, on site, to reduce errors and time lost.
Once measured, the data may be electronically sent to the corresponding email, which eliminates downtime and lost submissions.
We thank you for using Yard Guard Mobile.
