The Arctic Armor cover uses a tough 14x14 laminated scrim woven polyethylene panel with heat-sealed seams to form a durable, watertight barrier that resists tears and helps limit sunlight exposure. Sized for 12x24-ft rectangular pools and finished with an extra 5 feet of overlap, the cover stays snug across the waterline and works with the included cable and winch or optional water tubes for secure anchoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover keep debris and water out during winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid construction prevents leaves, twigs, and most precipitation from entering the pool.

Homeowners with a 12x24-ft rectangular in-ground pool who want a rugged, low-maintenance winter barrier will appreciate the Arctic Armor. It’s ideal for users who prefer a solid, sunlight-blocking solution that minimizes spring cleanup, and for those who want flexible securing options—either the supplied cable-and-winch system or water-tube anchoring without deck anchors. Keep in mind this is a debris winter cover, not a safety cover; it is not rated to support people or pets. Backed by Blue Wave’s 15-year limited warranty and U.S.-based support, the Arctic Armor combines industry-tested materials with straightforward installation to protect your pool through the colder months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this cover safe to walk on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This is a winter debris cover, not a safety cover; it will not support people or pets and should not be walked on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I remove water that collects on top?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
