Leaf Bone Leaf Skimmer Kit — Hands-Free Waterline Mount, Fits Most Leaf Nets

Leaf Bone Leaf Skimmer Kit is a hands-free mounting system that secures your leaf rake net at the waterline so it continuously captures floating leaves and debris.

If you’re tired of chasing leaves around your pool or repeatedly emptying the small skimmer basket, this kit gives you a rigid, adjustable bracket to hold a deep leaf net in the optimum position for surface skimming. The system clamps or mounts to the pool edge or a movable base, and it’s built to carry heavy, wet leaf loads without slipping. The Leaf Bone Clip grips most leaf rake handles so you can use the net you already own.

How does the Leaf Bone kit stay firmly in place?

The kit uses a sturdy PVC tube, a tee, and a reinforced pipe clamp to create a rigid mount. For above-ground pools it fastens to the top rail with stainless hardware; for in-ground pools it mounts to a wooden base using supplied wood screws. Once anchored, the system resists torque from a loaded net so the skimmer stays at the waterline.

• Includes stainless steel screws, washers, and nuts for above-ground rail attachment.
• Wood screws provided for securing the kit to a moveable base for in-ground pools.
• Rigid plastic pipe clamp and PVC tee lock the tube in position for stability.

Can I use my own leaf rake net with this holder?

Yes — the Leaf Bone Clip is tapered to grip most commercial leaf net handles, so you don’t need to buy a special net. The clip also allows vertical and rotational adjustments so you can fine-tune the net’s angle and depth for best surface coverage. Note: the kit ships without a net.

• Tapered interior to secure standard leaf rake handles.
• Vertical adjustment of the net within the clip for waterline position control.
• Rotational adjustment on the PVC tee to change scoop orientation.

What adjustments can I make to improve leaf capture?

The design offers multiple points of micro-adjustment so you can set the net where surface flow and wind funnel leaves. The PVC tube slides in the clamp to lengthen or shorten reach. The clip can shift up or down and rotate on the tee, and the net itself can be raised or lowered inside the clip for precise alignment with the waterline.

• Sliding PVC tube for extension and retraction of reach.
• Clip height adjustment and rotational fine-tuning on the tee.
• Net vertical positioning inside the clip for different pool depths and currents.

How does the Leaf Bone kit help protect pool equipment?

By intercepting leaves and debris at the surface, the mounted net reduces the amount of material that sinks and clogs your pool’s small skimmer basket. That lowers the risk of restricted flow that can stress pumps and motors. While not a replacement for regular maintenance, it reduces strain and frequency of basket cleanings.

• Captures floating debris before it reaches the main skimmer intake.
• Lessens the chance of skimmer-basket blockages and reduced water flow.
• Durable mounting keeps leaf loads from pulling the net out of position.

Who this is for: homeowners and pool service pros who want a low-effort way to intercept leaves before they sink or clog the skimmer basket. The Leaf Bone kit suits above-ground or in-ground pools, people who already own a deep leaf rake net, and anyone who prefers a secure, adjustable hands-free solution to frequent surface debris. Installation is straightforward for DIYers and offers flexible mounting options for different pool edges and movable bases.
