Above Ground Pool Covers | Durable & Easy-to-Use Protection

Above ground pool covers address the unique challenges of elevated pool structures, prioritizing lightweight design, quick installation, and cost effectiveness. Made from tear resistant polyethylene (16 20 oz/sq ft density) or PVC coated polyester mesh, these covers feature elasticized hems and adjustable toggle straps for a secure fit on round, oval, or rectangular above ground pools. Reinforced stress points at anchor locations prevent tearing, while UV inhibitors extend service life to 5+ years. Load bearing capacities range from 200 400 lbs/m², sufficient to deter accidental immersion though not always meeting full safety codes. Foldable accordion designs allow compact storage (typically fitting into 24" x 12" bags), and some models include integrated handles for easy deployment. Mold resistant coatings are common in tropical climates, and clear mesh variants (allowing 30% light transmission) reduce algae growth while blocking debris. Above ground covers are ideal for temporary or seasonal use, with maintenance limited to annual rinsing, making them a practical choice for budget conscious homeowners or rental properties.
