POOLACC 18 ft Round Above-Ground Pool Cover — Heavy-Duty Winter Cover with Zinc-Alloy Winch & Steel-Core Cable

POOLACC 18 ft Round Pool Cover is a heavy-duty, zinc-alloy-winch-equipped winter cover designed to protect 18-foot round above-ground pools from debris, UV damage, and snow load.

Whether you close your pool for the season or need all-weather protection, this cover combines reinforced materials, a corrosion-resistant winch, and a steel-core cable system to keep water cleaner and reduce maintenance. Built for durability, the LDPE-coated surface with a black underside helps block sunlight and resists temperature extremes so the cover performs in both cold winters and hot summers.

How does this cover stand up to snow, ice, and strong weather?

The POOLACC cover uses a zinc-alloy winch and reinforced grommets paired with a steel-core cable to reduce strain on attachment points and prevent breakage under heavy loads. Fully sealed seams and a robust scrim matrix reduce the risk of tearing when snow accumulates.

• Zinc-alloy winch resists corrosion and reduces failure compared with aluminum alternatives
• Reinforced grommets distribute stress along the perimeter
• 185 GSM density with 1414 scrim matrix resists punctures and tears
• Steel-core cable secures the cover for stronger wind and snow resistance

Will it block sunlight and handle temperature extremes?

The LDPE-coated surface and black underside limit UV penetration to slow algae growth and help maintain pool chemistry while covered. The materials are rated to withstand temperatures from -10°F to 180°F, so the cover remains flexible and intact across a wide climate range.

• LDPE coating adds UV resistance and a waterproof layer
• Black underside reduces light reaching the water to minimize algae development
• Material temperature range supports both winter freeze and summer heat

What hardware and accessories are included, and what else might I need?

The kit arrives with a heavy-duty winch, steel-core cable, reinforced grommets, a skimmer sponge, two pool plugs, and a removal tool—everything to secure and maintain the cover through the season. For full winterization, consider adding a pool pillow (sold separately) to absorb ice pressure and prolong cover life.

• Included: zinc-alloy winch, steel cable, reinforced grommets, skimmer sponge, 2 plugs, removal tool
• Recommended: pool pillow to prevent ice-expansion damage
• Designed specifically for 18 ft round above-ground pools for a tailored fit

How easy is installation and storage?

Installation is straightforward: place the cover over the pool, thread the steel-core cable through grommets, and tighten with the zinc-alloy winch for a secure fit. When not in use, the lightweight, foldable material compacts for storage, and the removal tool helps pull the cover off without excessive strain.

• Quick setup with cable-and-winching system for even tension
• Removable skimmer sponge helps keep water surface cleaner during storage
• Compact storage when folded; removal tool simplifies takedown
