Pool Mate 15 ft Extra Strength Platinum Winter Pool Cover for Above-Ground Pools, Solid UV-Resistant Sandstone, Winch Included

The Pool Mate 15 ft Extra Strength Platinum Pool Cover is a solid, heavy-duty winter cover engineered to shield 15-foot above-ground pools from snow, ice and debris all off-season long.

Built from extra-strength woven polyethylene with an UV-resistant sandstone coating, this cover is designed to sit loosely on the water and block water penetration while resisting winter wear. It includes a four-foot overlap for easier installation, a winch and cable for secure fastening, and a generous 15-year warranty, making it a long-lasting winter closing option for traditional above-ground pools with standard top rails.

How does this cover prevent water and debris from entering my pool?

The Pool Mate Platinum winter cover is a solid (non-porous) design, so liquid cannot pass through the fabric into your pool. Its heavy woven scrim structure and tight coating also block leaves, dirt and most fine debris that gathers during the off-season.

• Solid polyethylene material prevents water seep-through.
• 12 x 12 scrim weave and 3.7 oz/yd² (125 g/m²) material weight for durability.
• Sandstone UV coating reduces sun damage to the topside.
• Heat-sealed seams reinforce long-term performance.

Will this 15 ft cover fit my above-ground pool and how is it installed?

This cover is sized for 15-foot round pools and includes a four-foot overlap, so the overall diameter measures about 19 feet. The overlap simplifies placement; use the supplied winch and cable through the perimeter grommets to tension and secure the cover.

• 15 ft pool size with 4 ft overlap (total coverage ~19 ft).
• Includes winch and cable for fastening to grommets around the rim.
• Recommend choosing a larger size if your top rail is unusually tall or wide.
• For pools with decks, place cover on deck and use vinyl water weights for extra hold.

How durable is the Pool Mate Platinum cover and what warranty is included?

The Extra Strength model is woven 85% heavier than typical industry covers and constructed to resist winter abrasion, UV exposure and wind stress. Pool Mate backs this cover with a 15-year warranty, reflecting its intended multi-year use for seasonal pool closings.

• Material: extra heavy-duty polyethylene, 3.7 oz/yd² (125 g/m²).
• 12 x 12 scrim count indicates strong weave stability.
• Heat-sealed seams for reinforced joins.
• 15-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.

Can I use this cover year-round or during the swimming season?

This cover is designed specifically as a winter/off-season closure and is not intended as a seasonal debris cover while the pool is in active use. Its solid build performs best when the pool is winterized and left closed until reopening.

• Intended for off-season/winter protection only.
• Not recommended for daily swimming-season debris control.
• Ice equalizer pillows and additional accessories sold separately for freeze protection.
• Cover clips and wrap can be added for extra security (sold separately).

Who is this for? The Pool Mate 15 ft Extra Strength Platinum Pool Cover is ideal for owners of traditional round above-ground pools who want a reliable, non-porous winter closure that’s heavier and more durable than standard covers. If you prioritize UV resistance, strong woven material, easy installation with included winch and cable, and a long warranty, this cover offers a robust, low-maintenance solution for seasonal pool protection.
