What customers say
This safety cover earns high praise for its superior durability and peace of mind. Customers value the robust, high-density mesh that reliably withstands harsh winter weather and intense UV exposure. A key functional benefit is the excellent drainage, which removes the need for a cover pump and simplifies spring opening. While the initial cost is significant, the long-term value is clear due to minimal maintenance. The primary drawback noted is the installation process, which many find challenging and time consuming. Despite this initial hurdle, the cover’s secure fit and reliable performance confirm its status as a high quality winter protection solution.
Know before you buy
Yes, the fine mesh material is designed to filter out leaves, twigs, and other debris while allowing rainwater to pass through. This prevents stagnant water from pooling on top of the cover, which makes your spring pool opening significantly easier.
This cover is built for safety and features double-thickness straps and high-tensile polypropylene mesh capable of supporting over 4,000 lbs. It meets or exceeds ASTM safety standards, providing a secure barrier for children and pets when properly installed.
The included brass anchors are designed to be recessed into concrete or paver pool decks. If you have a wood deck or a different surface, you may need to purchase specific mounting hardware separately to ensure the cover remains secure.
The cover is constructed from UV-treated polypropylene, which is specifically engineered to resist damage from intense sunlight, chlorine, and rot. This durability is backed by a 12-year limited warranty.
While the cover comes with all necessary hardware, including an installation tool and stainless steel springs, it is a manual process that typically requires two people to position and tension correctly. We recommend following the included instructions carefully to ensure the cover is taut and properly anchored.
This cover is specifically sized for a 20ft x 40ft rectangular pool. For a safety cover to function correctly and meet safety standards, it must be sized to fit your pool's exact dimensions and shape to ensure the straps can be anchored at the correct tension.
