Crafted from 14x14 laminated scrim polyethylene with reinforced, heat-sealed seams and a black underside, this solid cover prevents leaves and sediment from entering the water, limits evaporation, and resists tears from wind and snow. The package includes rust-resistant grommets, a vinyl-coated steel cable, and a ratcheting winch so you have everything needed to secure an 18x40-ft oval pool with a 4-foot overlap for a snug fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover protect my pool during storms and snow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Arctic Armor forms a continuous barrier that keeps large debris and precipitation off the pool surface.
