I am researching skimmer lids for our new pool - I don't like the look of the ugly white skimmer covers. Has anyone used the pour-a-lid skimmer covers? If so what kind of decking do you have? Does it look nice? They seem to look really good compared to the white ugly skimmer covers.
Hi and welcome to the Pool Forum!
I have never heard of pour-a-lid skimmer covers so unfortunately can't help. I've never even heard them mentioned here on the forum but maybe someone knows something.
You can search if you want. Not sure if you'll find anything but doesn't hurt to try. This link will search all of the forum plus our sister website www.poolsolutions.com.

I've never seen 'pour-in' lids, at least not on standard pools. I have seen custom rock covers on very high end pools -- but they are fragile and hard to use.
You can get tan skimmer covers for most Hayward skimmers, like this one. I've never checked to see if they are available for Jandy or Pentair skimmers.

These are the covers I had made up for my skimmers by the travertine installer

@Martin: thanks!
@Kinleysmom: As I mentioned, I have seen skimmer lids made up like Martin has. If you go that route, remember to have spares made - they tend to be either fragile, very heavy . . . or both.
