POOLHACKER 28 ft Round Winter Pool Cover for Above-Ground Pools, Red — Cable & Pulley, Heavy-Duty

Built for durability and seasonal protection, this 28-foot cover combines a dense scrim fabric with LDPE coating, a reliable winch cable and pulley, and extra-thick material to keep debris, rainwater and ice out of your above-ground pool. It’s engineered to resist UV damage and stand up to temperatures as low as -10°F (-25°C), giving you a straightforward way to secure and preserve your pool during off-season months.

How does this cover protect my pool during winter?

The material and construction block leaves, branches and precipitation while slowing ice formation directly on the pool surface. The LDPE coating resists water penetration and sunlight degradation, while the dense 14×14 scrim and 185 g/m² weight add puncture resistance for rough weather.

• LDPE coating prevents water intrusion and UV breakdown.
• 14×14 scrim and 185 g density increase tear and puncture resistance.
• Extra-thick fabric helps resist snow and ice damage.
• Edges and construction minimize debris accumulation around the pool.

How does the cable-and-pulley system work to keep the cover secure?

The included cable and pulley (winch) system tightens the cover around the pool perimeter, creating a snug fit that reduces wind lift and migration. The winch cable is designed for dependable tensioning so you can lock the cover in place quickly and adjust as needed throughout the season.

• Durable winch cable holds tension in windy conditions.
• Pulley system allows even tightening around round pools.
• Simple operation for seasonal installation and removal.
• Secure fastening reduces cover flapping and wear points.

Will this cover fit my above-ground pool and handle severe weather?

The 28 ft diameter is made for standard round above-ground pools; measure your pool to ensure a proper fit. The cover’s winter-weather design and material choices target harsh climates, with tested resistance down to -10°F (-25°C) and features to minimize wind and snow damage.

• Designed specifically for 28-foot round above-ground pools.
• Weather-rated to perform in sub-freezing temperatures.
• Windproof design limits uplift in gusty conditions.
• Heavy-duty fabric reduces punctures and stretching over time.

How do I care for and store the cover when not in use?

Keep the cover clean and dry before folding and storing to extend its lifespan. Rinse off debris, allow it to air-dry fully, and then roll or fold loosely into a breathable storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Rinse and remove organic debris after each season.
• Thoroughly dry to prevent mildew during storage.
• Store in a shaded, dry location inside a cover bag if possible.
• Inspect cable and pulleys for wear before reinstallation.

It’s a good match for those living in cold or windy climates who need UV resistance, strengthened fabric, and a reliable cable-and-pulley fastening system to keep their pool protected through the off-season.
