The Arctic Armor cover pairs a dense 7x7 scrim woven polyethylene fabric with reinforced, heat-sealed seams to form a reliable, solid barrier that limits debris and sunlight. Its construction keeps most contaminants on top of the cover, while the black underside reduces light penetration and helps slow dirt buildup under the tarp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover protect my pool over winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arctic Armor acts as a solid shield that prevents leaves, twigs, rain and snow from entering the water, and its dark underside restricts sunlight to slow organic growth.

It’s a good choice for those who prefer a solid cover that holds out leaves and light, plan to secure the perimeter with included cable (and optionally water tubes), and understand that it is not a load-bearing safety cover.\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 a safety cover I can walk on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This is a winter debris cover only and should never support weight or foot traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the cover come with anchoring hardware?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
