The Blue Wave Arctic Armor uses a laminated 14x14 scrim polyethylene panel with heat-sealed seams, metal grommets and an included vinyl-coated cable with ratcheting winch to provide an even, low-profile barrier that resists tears and stays secured through storms. Its solid construction and black underside reduce light transmission and evaporation, helping preserve water quality under the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover stand up to winter weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arctic Armor is built to resist wind, snow and falling debris.
