Blue Wave Arctic Armor 12x20 ft Oval Above-Ground Pool Winter Cover - Green, Heavy-Duty 10x12 Scrim, Heat-Sealed Seams

Blue Wave Arctic Armor is a heavy-duty solid winter cover sized for 12-ft x 20-ft oval above-ground pools that blocks debris, rain, and sun while staying secured with included cable and winch.

Closing an above-ground pool for the off-season should be about protection and convenience. The Blue Wave Arctic Armor 12-ft x 20-ft Oval Above Ground Pool Winter Cover is constructed from 10x12 scrim-woven polyethylene with reinforced, heat-sealed seams and a sunlight-blocking black underside. This combination creates a durable, watertight barrier that keeps leaves, sticks, snow, and rain from contaminating your pool and reduces the amount of cleaning required at spring opening.

How does this cover keep my pool cleaner through winter?

The solid panel design prevents debris and precipitation from passing into the pool, while the black underside limits sunlight exposure that can accelerate dirt and algae formation. Heat-sealed seams reduce leak points, and the dense scrim resists punctures so fewer contaminants reach the water over months of storage.

• Solid polyethylene panel blocks leaves, sticks, and snow.
• Black underside reduces sunlight-driven buildup.
• 10x12 scrim weave resists tears and punctures.
• Heat-sealed seams form a watertight bond across the cover.

Will it stay secure in wind, rain, or heavy snow?

Yes — the cover includes rust-resistant aluminum grommets spaced every 2 feet and a vinyl-coated cable with a metal winch so you can tension the cover evenly around the pool. The manufacturer-sized 4-foot overlap creates extra material to tuck and tighten, improving wind resistance. After heavy snow, remove buildup from the pool edge with a soft-bristle broom to preserve the cover and reduce stress on the perimeter.

• Aluminum grommets every 2 ft for reliable anchoring.
• Included vinyl-coated cable and metal winch for even tension.
• 4-ft overlap for a snug, wind-resistant fit.
• Recommended snow-clearing to avoid excess weight on the edge.

What maintenance and care does the Arctic Armor require?

Because this is a solid winter debris cover (not a safety cover), avoid walking or placing weight on it. Remove heavy snow and use a cover pump to extract standing water after storms; this helps preserve the material and keeps spring cleanup minimal. Store the cover dry and folded when not in use to extend its service life.

• Do not walk on the cover or use it as a weight-bearing surface.
• Clear heavy snow with a soft-bristle broom; use a cover pump for standing water.
• Fold and store dry to prevent mildew and material degradation.
• Follow included hardware instructions for secure installation.
