The Blue Wave Arctic Armor winter cover is a reinforced solid tarp engineered to keep leaves, sticks, rain and snow out of your 16-ft x 32-ft oval pool. Built from 10x12 scrim woven polyethylene with heat-sealed seams and a black underside, this cover offers a durable, low-maintenance barrier that reduces contamination and evaporation over the off-season.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover keep winter debris and moisture out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arctic Armor is a solid panel—rather than mesh—so water and small debris can’t pass through.
