Winter Pool Cover – Maximum Protection for Harsh Winters

Winterizing your pool requires a high-performance winter pool cover that withstands snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. Our inground winter pool covers are designed to prevent damage, reduce maintenance, and protect water quality throughout the off-season.

Durable Winter Pool Covers for Inground Pools

Heavy-Duty Materials Built for Longevity

Manufactured with reinforced polyethylene, polypropylene, and vinyl, our winter pool covers are engineered to resist cracking, tearing, and UV degradation. Double-stitched seams and heat-sealed edges enhance durability, making them last through multiple seasons.

Materials:

  • Polyethylene (PE): Lightweight, woven fabric with UV inhibitors.
  • Polypropylene (PP): More durable but slightly heavier than PE.
  • Vinyl (PVC-Coated): Strongest option; fully waterproof and tear-resistant.
  • Reinforced Mesh: Semi-permeable, prevents water accumulation while blocking debris.

Coating & Treatment: UV-resistant, mildew-resistant, and chemical-resistant.

Weight: Typically 8-20 oz per square yard, depending on thickness.

Load-Bearing: Not designed for safety, but can handle several inches of snow.

Reinforced Edges and Secure Fastening System

Each pool winter cover features reinforced binding with rust-proof grommets and an industrial-strength cable system. This ensures a tight, secure fit that prevents wind uplift and accidental displacement.

UV & Chemical-Resistant Coating for Extended Use

Our winter covers for pools include an anti-UV and chemical-resistant treatment, reducing material degradation caused by prolonged sun exposure and chlorine-treated water.

Frequently Asked Questions

The longevity of our winter pool covers is attributed to the use of premium materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. By incorporating UV-stabilized polyethylene or polypropylene, our covers resist environmental wear and tear. Additionally, the triple-layer construction enhances durability, ensuring the covers remain effective over multiple seasons. With proper maintenance, our covers can last up to 20 years, offering a cost-effective solution for pool protection.

To combat sagging caused by snow accumulation, our winter pool covers feature a robust support system. This includes reinforced edges and strategically placed grommets that facilitate secure anchoring. The design ensures even weight distribution, preventing water pooling and maintaining the cover’s integrity under heavy snow loads. Regular maintenance, such as promptly removing excess snow, further preserves the cover’s condition.

We offer both solid and mesh winter pool covers to cater to diverse needs:

  • Solid Covers: These are impermeable, preventing all debris and sunlight from entering the pool. This reduces algae growth and keeps the pool water cleaner during the off-season.
  • Mesh Covers: Designed to allow water to drain through while blocking debris, mesh covers are lighter and easier to handle. They are ideal for areas with heavy precipitation, as they prevent water accumulation on the cover.

Both types are constructed with safety and durability in mind, ensuring your pool remains protected throughout the winter.

For inground pools, we recommend our premium solid and mesh safety covers. These covers are tailored to fit snugly over the pool, providing optimal protection against debris and harsh weather. The solid covers are ideal for maximum debris prevention, while the mesh covers offer excellent drainage, reducing maintenance efforts. Both options are designed to enhance safety and extend the lifespan of your pool.

Preventing freezing damage involves a combination of using our high-quality winter pool covers and proper pool maintenance. Our covers insulate the pool water, reducing heat loss and minimizing the risk of freezing. Additionally, maintaining appropriate water levels, using pool antifreeze in plumbing lines, and employing air pillows can alleviate pressure from ice expansion, effectively protecting your pool structure during the winter months.
