Blue Wave 20x40 ft Rectangular Leaf Net for Inground Pools, Black — Fine Mesh, Reinforced Grommets

The Blue Wave BWC564 is a 20 ft x 40 ft black polyethylene leaf net designed to catch leaves, needles and twigs over rectangular inground pools while allowing rain and meltwater to drain through.

Designed for homeowners who want to protect their winter pool cover and simplify autumn cleanup, this leaf net uses a fine mesh to collect debris without holding standing water. It offers reinforced anchoring points and a 4-foot overlap for secure installation around 20 x 40 ft rectangular inground pools. Lightweight and tool-free, the net is intended for seasonal use: deploy in early fall to intercept debris, then remove, clean, dry, and store before deep winter weather.

How does this leaf net prevent water from pooling and damaging my winter cover?

The Blue Wave mesh has small, 0.15-inch openings that trap organic debris while permitting rainfall and melting snow to pass straight through. Because liquid drains instead of collecting on top, the cover stays flat and reduces the weight and strain placed on any underlying winter cover.

• 0.15-inch polyethylene mesh lets water pass while catching fine debris
• Mesh design minimizes sagging and water accumulation
• Works independent of, or in conjunction with, a winter cover

How do I install and secure the Blue Wave BWC564 around my pool?

Two people can position the net quickly without tools: unfold it, center it over the pool, and tuck the 4-foot overlap around the perimeter for anchoring. The net includes reinforced corner grommets and loops spaced every 4 feet to accept water tubes or other perimeter anchors for a reliable hold.

• 4-foot overlap on all sides for anchoring margin
• Reinforced corner grommets for durable tie-down points
• Loop spacing every 4 feet to secure with water tubes (sold separately)

What maintenance does this leaf net require once it’s deployed?

Keep the net in place through the leaf-fall season, then remove it before heavy snow. Shake or brush off the accumulated debris, allow the net to dry fully to prevent mildew, fold it neatly, and store in a cool, dry location until next season.

• Remove and brush off leaves before major snowfall
• Air-dry completely to prevent mold or odors
• Fold and store in a cool, dry place for off-season preservation

Who is this product for? Homeowners with 20 x 40 ft rectangular inground pools who want a simple, low-cost way to intercept autumn debris before it soils a winter cover.
