Blue Wave 12-ft Round Winter Pool Cover, Navy — Heavy-Duty 7x7 Scrim & Heat-Sealed Seams

The Blue Wave Arctic Armor 12-ft Round Above Ground Pool Winter Cover is a heavy-duty, solid polyethylene winter tarp that seals out leaves, rain, snow and sunlight to keep a 12-foot round above-ground pool cleaner through the off-season.

Closing your pool for winter shouldn't mean a spring of extra work. This solid winter cover uses a dense 7x7 scrim woven polyethylene panel with reinforced, heat-sealed seams to form a durable, watertight barrier. A black underside reduces sunlight exposure and the included aluminum grommets, vinyl-coated cable and metal winch make it straightforward to secure the cover so it resists wind, rain and snow all winter long.

How does this cover protect my pool during winter?

The Arctic Armor is a solid tarp designed to block debris, precipitation and sunlight from entering your pool. Its dense polyethylene scrim resists tearing and the heat-sealed seams create a continuous barrier that limits water penetration and dirt accumulation.

• 7x7 scrim woven polyethylene resists punctures and rips
• Reinforced, heat-sealed seams form a watertight bond
• Solid construction keeps leaves, sticks and snow out
• Black underside reduces sunlight to limit algae-promoting light

Will it stay put during wind, rain or snow?

Yes — the cover ships with corrosion-resistant aluminum grommets placed every two feet and a vinyl-coated securing cable that threads through them. A metal winch tightens the cable for an even, snug fit and the cover includes a 4-foot overlap tailored for 12-foot round pools to improve wind resistance.

• Aluminum grommets spaced every 2 feet for even anchoring
• Included vinyl-coated cable and metal winch for secure tension
• 4-foot overlap on a 12-ft cover reduces lift in gusts
• Rust-resistant hardware endures winter moisture

How should I care for the cover to prolong its life?

Routine, simple care keeps the cover functioning season after season. After heavy snow, sweep off excess with a soft-bristle broom; remove standing water with a cover pump to avoid excessive weight. Avoid walking on the cover and treat it as a debris barrier rather than a safety surface.

• Brush off heavy snow with a soft-bristle broom
• Use a cover pump to remove pooled water after storms
• Do not walk on the cover or allow it to support weight
• Store folded and dry when not in use to prevent mold

• Cover sized specifically for 12-ft round above-ground pools
