This Blue Wave winter cover uses a laminated 14x14 scrim polyethylene panel with heat-sealed seams and a black underside to form a durable, watertight barrier. The cover ships with the cable, ratcheting winch and rust-resistant grommets you need to secure it, and it’s sized specifically for 15x30-ft oval pools with a 4-foot overlap for a snug fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover protect my pool from winter debris and weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid polyethylene panel blocks leaves, twigs, rain and snow from entering the pool, while the reinforced seams reduce the chance of rips.
