Robelle 28 ft Solid Winter Pool Cover — Blue, Heavy-Duty 12x12 Scrim with Winch Kit, 15-Year Warranty

Robelle's 28 ft Professional Supreme Blue is a solid winter cover engineered to protect 28-foot round above-ground pools through the off-season with a heavy-duty 12x12 scrim polyethylene fabric and included winch kit.

Built for pool owners who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance winter closure, this solid cover stops water from passing through its material while keeping out leaves, snow and ice. The cover's 3.7 oz/yd² polyethylene and 12x12 scrim deliver superior strength and tear resistance compared with common economy covers, and Robelle backs it with a 15-year warranty. It ships with a cable and winch for perimeter attachment and is sized to include four feet of overlap so installation is easier on traditional above-ground top rails.

How does this cover protect my pool during winter?

The Robelle solid winter cover creates a physical barrier that blocks debris, sunlight and most precipitation from entering the pool, reducing cleanup and chemical loss while the pool is closed. Its solid construction prevents water from penetrating the fabric, unlike mesh covers.

• Solid polyethylene fabric prevents water seepage through the material
• Black underside reduces algae-promoting light transmission
• Designed to resist snow and ice loading during the off-season
• Included winch and cable help secure the cover around the perimeter

What are the key durability features and materials?

This model uses a professional-grade woven polyethylene that weighs 3.7 ounces per square yard and a 12x12 scrim—both important measures of longevity and resistance to tearing and UV stress. Robelle manufactures with a heavier build than typical covers for longer service life.

• 3.7 oz/yd² (approx. 125 g/m²) polyethylene for robust strength
• 12 x 12 scrim weave improves puncture and tear resistance
• Constructed about 85% heavier than standard economy covers
• Backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind

How do I install and secure the 28 ft Robelle cover?

The cover ships with a winch and cable that thread through the perimeter grommets; tightening the cable secures the cover around the pool. The four-foot overlap included in the cover’s dimensions makes positioning easier, but pools with oversized top rails should consider sizing up for a stress-free fit.

• Includes winch and cable for attachment through heavy-duty grommets
• Four-foot overlap simplifies alignment and drape over the top rail
• Recommend floating loosely on the surface—go up a size if rails are large
• Optional cover clips, wrap and vinyl water weights can add security (sold separately)

Can I use this cover during the swimming season or on nontraditional pools?

This cover is intended as a winter, off-season protection solution for traditional above-ground pools with a conventional top rail. It is not optimized as a seasonal debris cover while the pool is in regular use.

• Made for offseason winter use, not daily swimming-season debris control
• Best suited to traditional above-ground pools with a top rail
• For pools with decks, place vinyl water weights on deck sections over the cover
• Ice equalizer pillows sold separately for heavy ice management

Who this cover is for: pool owners who want a professional, long-lasting winter closure for a 28-foot round above-ground pool. Choose Robelle’s Professional Supreme Blue if you value stronger fabric, an included winch kit, generous overlap for easier installation and a lengthy warranty. If you have a nonstandard top rail or need a year-round debris solution, consider sizing up or looking at a season-use model instead.
