Leaf Bone Leaf Skimmer Kit — Hands-Free Mounting Kit, Fits Most Leaf Rake Nets, Adjustable

LEAF BONE Leaf Skimmer Kit is a hands-free mounting system that holds your leaf rake net at the waterline to continuously skim floating debris from above-ground and in-ground pools. The LEAF BONE kit transforms a handheld leaf rake into a stationary surface skimmer so leaves and other floating debris are collected before they sink or clog the main skimmer basket. Built from rigid PVC, a tapered clip and sturdy mounting hardware, the system secures to pool rails, deck surfaces or a movable base. The kit ships with the clip, PVC tube and tee, a plastic pipe clamp, and all required mounting hardware; the leaf net itself is not included, allowing you to use your preferred deep leaf rake.

How does the Leaf Bone kit attach to my pool?

Installation is adaptable: for above-ground pools the clamp mounts to the top rail using the included stainless hardware; for in-ground pools you can secure the kit to a wooden movable base with the provided wood screws. The PVC tee and pipe clamp create a rigid vertical support so the clip holds the net exactly at the waterline.

• Above-ground: drill two 3/16" holes and use stainless screws, washers, and nuts.
• In-ground: attach to a wooden base using included wood screws.
• Movable-base option allows repositioning for best flow and capture.

Will my existing leaf net fit the LEAF BONE clip?

The clip accepts most standard leaf rake handles because its interior is tapered to grip differently sized shafts. Since the net is not part of the kit, you can pair the mount with the deep leaf rake you already own or choose a larger net for heavy fall cleanup.

• Tapered interior provides a tight hold on various handle diameters.
• Compatible with most long-handled leaf rake nets (net not included).
• Net height can be adjusted while clamped to fine-tune skimming depth.

How do I position and adjust the skimmer for best performance?

The system was designed for easy on-the-fly adjustments: the PVC tube slides through the clamp to change reach, the clip rotates and moves up or down the tee, and the net can be raised or lowered in the clip. This range of adjustments helps you place the net where surface flow concentrates leaves for maximum capture.

• PVC tube slides in the clamp to extend reach or retract for storage.
• Clip rotates on the PVC tee to angle the net with current flow.
• Vertical net adjustment keeps the mesh at the optimal waterline depth.

What durability and maintenance should I expect?

LEAF BONE uses durable plastic and stainless hardware to resist outdoor exposure and maintain a firm hold under load. Routine rinsing and an occasional inspection of clamps and fasteners will keep the system working season after season without damaging pool equipment.

• Stainless steel screws and corrosion-resistant components included.
• Rigid mounting minimizes sagging when nets are full of wet leaves.
• Simple cleaning—flush with fresh water and check fasteners periodically.

Who is this for? If you own a residential above-ground or in-ground pool and want an affordable, low-effort way to intercept floating leaves before they sink or clog filtration skimmers, the LEAF BONE kit is a practical solution. It suits homeowners who prefer using their preferred deep leaf rake net (not included), people who want a hands-free skimming option for long periods, and those who value a product that can be repositioned to follow changing wind and water flow. The kit is also a good match for backyard maintenance pros and pool service techs who need a dependable, lightweight mounting system that reduces time spent manually skimming and lowers the chance of skimmer-basket blockages.
