Blue Wave Arctic Armor 12x24 ft Oval Leaf Net for Above-Ground Pools — Treated Mesh, Winch Kit

Blue Wave Arctic Armor 12-ft x 24-ft Oval Leaf Net is a treated polyethylene mesh cover designed to trap leaves and let rainwater pass through, protecting your above-ground pool winter cover or providing lightweight seasonal debris control on its own.

As trees shed in autumn, wet leaves and twigs accumulate on winter covers and create extra work and potential staining at spring opening. The Arctic Armor leaf net installs quickly, drains water rather than holding puddles, and gathers surface debris so you can remove most of the mess before it touches your primary cover—or use the net alone for temporary protection. The kit includes a vinyl-coated cable, reinforced grommets, and a metal winch for same-day setup without extra hardware.

How does the Arctic Armor keep rain from pooling on my cover?

The net is woven from treated polyethylene mesh that allows water to pass straight through while large debris stays on top. This drainage-first design prevents stagnant water and heavy, soggy leaf layers from weighing down or staining the cover beneath.

• Treated mesh fabric sheds water while retaining leaves and twigs
• Rain drains through the material instead of creating puddles
• Reduces time and scrubbing needed at spring opening

What comes in the box and how hard is installation?

The Arctic Armor arrives as a complete kit: the 12-ft x 24-ft oval net, a vinyl-coated cable, reinforced grommets spaced every 2 feet, and a metal winch. Two people can lay the net out, thread the cable through the grommets, and tighten the winch without additional tools.

• Reinforced grommets every 2 feet for even anchoring
• Vinyl-coated cable and metal winch included for a secure fit
• 3-foot overlap around the pool edge for easy fastening

Can I use this net on any above-ground pool and when should I remove it?

This model is sized specifically for 12-ft x 24-ft oval above-ground pools and is not compatible with round pool shapes. Place the net in early fall before heavy leaf fall and remove it before the first heavy snowfall; when full, the mesh lifts and slides off in a single motion for quick cleanup.

• Sized for 12-ft x 24-ft oval above-ground pools only
• Install early fall and remove prior to heavy snow
• Lifts and slides off easily when loaded with debris

How durable is the net and what maintenance does it need?

The woven polyethylene is treated to resist seasonal weathering so the net can be used across multiple falls. After removal, brush off leaves, allow the net to dry completely, and store in a cool, dry place to preserve the material and hardware.

• Weather-resistant, treated mesh for repeated seasonal use
• Simple storage: clean, dry, and store away from moisture
• Backed by a 4-year limited warranty and U.S.-based support
