How to Close Your Above Ground Swimming Pool for Winter


Air Pillow under Above Ground Winter Cover
Air Pillow under Winter Cover protects Liner from Ice Damage

In areas of the country where ice forms 1/2in or deeper, it is highly recommended that use of a floation device, like and air pillow, beach ball, foam float is used under the cover to mitigate ice damage to the liner. They are NOT to use to "tent" up the cover to shed water. Tenting raises cover and exposes it to unwanted wind damage and is not intended to be used that way and could possibly void the warranty.

When choosing a cover, you look for them by your pool's ACTUAL SIZE. The cover that you get will be bigger than your pool by 3 or 4 feet (depending on which cover you order and varies by manufacturer). For example if your pool is 24ft round you would choose that size and choose one of the covers listed on that page. The actual size of the cover will be 28 foot round for a pool that is 24 foot round.
