Buffalo Blizzard 18' x 36' Oval Winter Pool Cover — Blue/Black, Deluxe Tear-Resistant UV-Protected

Buffalo Blizzard Deluxe 18' x 36' oval winter pool cover provides heavy-duty, tear-resistant protection that keeps snow, ice and debris off your above-ground pool through the cold months.

When winter arrives, a durable cover preserves your pool’s water clarity and liner integrity while simplifying spring cleanup. The Buffalo Blizzard Deluxe combines a triple-laminated polyethylene body with an 8x8 “Hold-tite” scrim, reinforced grommets and UV-resistant hems to resist tears, splitting and cold-weather brittleness. Included installation hardware — steel cable, aluminum winch and turnbuckle — helps secure the cover so wind and winter conditions can’t easily dislodge it.

How does this cover prevent damage from snow, ice and debris?

The combination of triple-laminated polyethylene and a dense 8x8 scrim gives the cover high tensile strength and puncture resistance. That reduces the chance of rips from branches or the weight of snow and ice, while blocking leaves and grime from entering the pool.

• 8x8 “Hold-tite” scrim for reinforced fabric stability
• Triple-laminated polyethylene resists cracking in freezing temperatures
• Reinforced grommets every 3 feet for firm anchoring
• Full overlap design adds 3 extra feet of material to keep wind out

Will the cover fade or weaken from sun exposure?

This model is built with UV-resistant nylon thread and double-stitched, triple-thick hems to slow fading and seam degradation. While no cover is immune to long-term UV exposure, the Buffalo Blizzard Deluxe prolongs usable life and helps maintain liner appearance by blocking sunlight and reducing photochemical effects in the stored water.

• UV-resistant nylon stitching for long-lasting seams
• Double-stitched, triple-thick hems protect edge wear
• Blue/black surface reduces sunlight reaching pool water

How easy is it to install and secure for the season?

Installation is straightforward: spread the cover with the extra overlap, thread the steel cable through the grommets, then tighten with the aluminum winch and turnbuckle. The lightweight material makes positioning manageable for two people, and the grommet spacing keeps tension evenly distributed to prevent stress points.

• Includes steel cable, aluminum winch and turnbuckle for secure fastening
• Reinforced grommets spaced every 3 feet for even tension
• Three-foot overlap allows for a snug fit over the pool rim

What size and pool types is this cover suited for?

The Buffalo Blizzard Deluxe is sized for an 18 ft by 36 ft oval above-ground pool and provides generous overlap for most standard frames. Its design is optimized for above-ground pools; check your pool’s measured waterline dimensions to confirm correct fit.

• Designed for 18' x 36' oval above-ground pools
• Three-foot material overlap for reliable coverage beyond the rim
• Lightweight enough for two people to handle during installation

Who is this for: Pool owners who want a rugged, season-long winter barrier that simplifies closing and reopening. If you need a cover built for cold climates, resistant to tears and UV exposure, and supplied with hardware to anchor it securely, the Buffalo Blizzard Deluxe 18' x 36' oval cover delivers a balance of strength, fit and practical installation features.
