This Robelle Super Winter Pool Cover uses a heavy 8 x 8 scrim and 2.36 oz\/yd² polyethylene to deliver reinforced strength and long service life. The cover is solid (non-permeable), features an imperial blue top with a black underside, and includes a four-foot overlap for easier installation plus a winch and cable to secure the perimeter through reinforced grommets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong is this cover and what do the material specs mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover’s strength comes from two measurable factors: scrim count and material weight. An 8 x 8 scrim refers to the woven thread density that stabilizes the fabric, and the 2.36 oz.\/yd² polyethylene increases puncture and tear resistance compared with lighter covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 x 8 scrim provides structural weave stability and resistance to stretching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.36 oz.\/yd² material weight offers greater tear and abrasion resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstructed 18% heavier than industry standard for added durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a 10-year Robelle warranty for long-term protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this cover fit my pool and how does the overlap work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover is sized to fit an 18 ft round above ground pool and includes a four-foot overlap beyond the listed pool diameter. That extra material makes positioning and anchoring easier, especially if your top rail is standard size; however, if your top rail is unusually tall, you may want to order the next size up so the cover can float without excessive stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for traditional above ground pools with standard top rails.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 ft pool size plus 4 ft overlap equals a 22 ft total cover diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFloat-loose design: cover should rest on the water surface without tight pulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf top rail height is large, consider ordering a larger cover size for a better fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this installed and secured for winter weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobelle includes a winch and cable so you can thread the cable through the cover grommets and tighten the perimeter for a snug closure.

It suits homeowners with standard top rails who prefer a solid, non-permeable cover backed by a decade-long warranty and professional-grade materials.
