The Robelle Platinum cover combines a dense 12 x 12 scrim weave and a 3.7 oz\/yd² polyethylene film to deliver a durable, non-porous barrier that sits over the water and blocks precipitation. Designed specifically as a winter cover — not for season-long debris protection — it ships with a winch and cable and includes a generous four-foot overlap to simplify installation around standard top rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this Robelle cover stand up to winter weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Platinum cover’s solid construction prevents water from seeping through and offers strong resistance to snow and ice buildup.
