Know before you buy
Yes, this specific model is designed for rectangular in-ground pools that feature a right-side step configuration.
The extra-large 5-foot overlap provides additional material to account for the pool's depth and coping, ensuring you have enough slack to secure the cover properly with the included water tubes.
Yes, it features 'Heat Shield' technology and a black bottom layer that blocks sunlight from entering the pool, which is essential for inhibiting algae development while the pool is closed.
Absolutely. The fabric is triple-dipped and engineered to remain flexible in temperatures as low as -50 degrees, and the rip-stop weave prevents small punctures from turning into larger tears.
This cover is designed to be held in place using the 16 included 8-foot double water tubes, which are placed through the rugged loops located every 4 feet around the perimeter.
While the cover is designed for a 20' x 40' pool, the actual dimensions of the cover are 25' x 45'. This accounts for the necessary overlap required to secure the cover safely around the edges.
