Know before you buy
No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for rectangular in-ground pools. The dimensions and overlap are designed to fit the straight edges and corners of a standard rectangular pool layout.
The silver layer is designed to deflect sunlight and heat, which helps inhibit algae growth during the off-season. By limiting the light that reaches the water, it keeps the pool environment less hospitable for algae to bloom.
The 5-foot overlap is already accounted for in the cover's total dimensions. You should select the cover size that matches your pool's actual dimensions to ensure you have the correct amount of material to drape over the edges and secure with water bags.
The cover is constructed from a triple-dipped, densely woven polyethylene that remains flexible in temperatures as low as -50 degrees. This flexibility prevents the material from becoming brittle or cracking under extreme cold stress.
This cover is designed to be secured using water bags, which are placed through the rugged loops provided around the perimeter. You will need to purchase the appropriate number of water bags separately to hold the cover firmly in place.
The rip stop weave is a reinforced construction technique that prevents small punctures or tears from spreading across the fabric. This significantly increases the longevity of the cover compared to standard weaves that can easily unravel if snagged.
