Winter covers for above-ground pools

To choose the right winter cover, check your pool’s shape and dimensions: round, oval, or figure-eight. Don’t confuse the pool’s dimensions with the cover’s overall measurements, which may be larger to allow for fitting and fastening.

There is no universal extra margin that works for all covers. Before buying, always check the dimensions and compatibility specified by the manufacturer. You can use the shape and size filters in this collection to find the right model.

Rain can collect on certain covers and place additional strain on the material and pool structure. That’s why it’s important to check the cover regularly, especially after heavy rain.

If the cover has holes or drainage systems, keep them clear. Remove pooled water and leaves according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not use floats, air cushions, or other support items unless they are designed or approved for that model.

Weight per square meter indicates how much the material weighs per square meter and is a feature worth checking before you buy. However, it does not determine a cover’s strength or durability on its own.

In this collection, we offer GRE polyethylene covers weighing 120 g/m². To compare different options, also check the material, seams, reinforcements, fastening system, and compatibility with your pool. A higher weight per square meter does not in itself guarantee that a cover is more suitable.

The installation system depends on the cover model and pool type. Some winter covers for above-ground pools use a perimeter cable with a tensioner to secure them around the structure. Others may include different fastening accessories.

Before installing the cover, check the included accessories and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The cover must be secured correctly without putting excessive strain on the pool’s frames or walls. In areas exposed to wind, check the fastening points regularly.

Before covering the pool, remove leaves and dirt, clean the bottom, and check the condition of the filtration system. It is also advisable to check the water’s chemical balance and carry out the appropriate treatment to preserve it for your setup.

Pool winterizing products can help maintain the water during months when the pool is used less, provided they are used according to the manufacturer’s dosage instructions. The cover reduces the amount of dirt that gets in, but does not completely replace the checks and maintenance required during winter.

No. A conventional winter cover is designed primarily to keep out leaves, dust, and other debris, but it should not be considered a safety device that prevents falls.

For this purpose, use protective systems specifically designed to withstand the expected loads and that meet the applicable safety requirements. Never allow people or animals to walk or stand on a conventional winter cover.
