What customers say
Customers view the PermaGuard cover as a premium, high-performance investment, consistently praising its exceptional durability and robust construction. The hybrid design, featuring solid material for shade and a mesh panel for drainage, is highly valued for preventing algae and ensuring cleaner spring pool openings. While the initial cost is high, users agree its longevity justifies the price as a worthwhile long-term protective measure.

However, this inconvenience is accepted as a necessary trade-off for the superior safety and cleanliness the cover delivers throughout the off-season.
