Winter Pool Cover FAQ

Can I use a winter pool cover on both metal and resin pools?

Yes. Our winter pool covers can be used on both metal and resin above-ground pools.

How much larger is the cover than my pool?

Each cover is made 2 feet larger than your pool. You order the size that matches your pool, and the cover you receive is 2 feet larger. For example, a 24-foot round pool receives a 26-foot round cover, and a 15 x 26-foot oval pool receives a 17 x 28-foot cover.

Which size should I order?

Order the size that matches your pool. If you have a 15-foot round pool, choose 15' Round from the Pool size menu. See our sizing guide for the full list of pool sizes and the cover size you will receive.

Can I use a cover that isn't the exact size of my pool?

Yes. Because the cover is 2 feet larger than the pool, choosing a larger size gives you more overhang and choosing a smaller size gives you less. Make sure you have at least 6 inches of additional material to cover your top rails.

How do top rails affect the size I need?

Top rails add about 6 inches around the edge of your pool, so measure your pool length and add 6 inches. For example, a 24-foot pool with 6-inch top rails around the edge measures about 25 feet. The cover is still 26 feet, which leaves an additional 6 inches of overhang.

How tight should the bungees be?

Each bungee only needs about 4-6 inches of stretch.

What is included with the cover?

Each cover kit includes enough bungees, U-brackets and screws for a standard pool build, plus a skimmer dam and a warranty booklet.

What warranty comes with the cover?

Covers have a 7-year limited warranty. Year 1 is a free replacement. After that, you receive a discount on the current retail price: 50% in year 2, 40% in year 3, 35% in year 4, 30% in year 5, 25% in year 6 and 20% in year 7. See the warranty booklet for full terms.
