Questions & Answers about Rugged Mesh Winter Covers for Above Ground Pools
Do I need a cover pump with this Rugged Mesh winter cover?
No. Because the Rugged Mesh material allows rainwater and melting snow to drain directly into the pool, water will not pool on top, completely eliminating the need for a cover pump.
(Source: Verified by BackyardCityPools.com)Does sunlight get through the rugged mesh and cause algae growth in the spring?
The fine weave and black underside are specifically engineered to block almost all sunlight. While water passes through, UV rays are restricted, helping keep the pool virtually algae-free for spring opening.
(Source: Verified by BackyardCityPools.com)How does this Rugged Mesh cover attach to an above-ground pool?
The cover includes a 4-foot overlap, rip-proof metal grommets spaced around the perimeter, a heavy-duty vinyl-coated steel cable, and a metal ratcheting winch to tighten it securely around the pool wall.
(Source: Verified by BackyardCityPools.com)Can fine dirt and silt pass through the rugged mesh cover into the pool?
Yes. The tight weave blocks leaves, sticks, and large debris, but allows fine silt to filter into the pool water. In the spring, you simply lift off the lightweight cover and vacuum the fine silt from the pool floor.
(Source: Verified by BackyardCityPools.com)How does this rugged mesh cover handle heavy snow and ice loads?
Because snow and ice melt drains through the material rather than collecting on top, the cover avoids more quickly the heavy standing water weight and is strong enough to handle severe snow, sleet, and ice conditions without sagging or tearing.
(Source: Enhanced by BackyardCityPools.com)Is this rugged mesh a safety cover that can support a person or pet?
No. This is a winter debris cover for above-ground pools, not a load-bearing ASTM safety cover. Pets and people should never stand, walk or sit on top of the cover.
