The Arctic Armor cover is constructed from 14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene with heat-sealed seams and a black underside that blocks sunlight. It’s a solid panel design (not mesh), so it resists tears, limits evaporation and forms a dependable barrier through storms and cold months. A full set of fastening hardware — vinyl-coated steel cable, ratcheting winch and rust-resistant grommets — is included to secure the cover tightly around a 16x25-ft oval pool with a 4-foot overlap for wind resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the material stand up to winter weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover uses dense, laminated scrim polyethylene in a 14x14 weave that’s tear-resistant and durable. Seams are heat-sealed to create a watertight bond that slows moisture transfer and helps prevent seam failures under load. Because the cover is solid, it blocks airborne debris and reduces evaporation across the off-season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene for high tear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-sealed seams to reduce water penetration and strengthen joins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid panel design blocks leaves, rain and sunlight; limits evaporation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fastening system keeps the cover secure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Wave includes rust-resistant metal grommets spaced about every 2 feet and a vinyl-coated steel cable that threads around the pool perimeter. The ratcheting winch tightens the cable for an even, snug fit, and the 4-foot overlap gives extra margin against wind lift.
