Robelle 28 ft Winter Pool Cover for Above-Ground Pools — Azure/Black, Solid Polyethylene, Winch Included

Robelle's 28 ft Value-Line Winter Pool Cover is a solid, heavy-duty winter cover designed to protect 28-foot round above-ground pools during the off-season.

This polyethylene winter cover combines a 7 x 7 scrim weave and a 2.2 oz./yd² fabric weight to deliver durable, season-long protection from snow, ice and debris. The cover has an azure blue topside and a black underside, comes with a winch and cable, and includes a generous three-foot overlap so it fits over most traditional above-ground pools with standard top rails. It is intended only for winter/off-season use and is not a swimming-season debris cover.

How does this winter cover keep my above-ground pool protected?

The Robelle solid cover blocks sunlight, prevents leaves and large debris from entering the pool, and reduces snow and ice accumulation directly on the water. Its solid construction keeps precipitation from passing through the fabric, helping limit sunlight-driven algae growth and minimizing the amount of water that reaches the pool during winter months.

• Solid polyethylene fabric prevents water from seeping through the cover.
• 7 x 7 scrim weave increases tear resistance and overall strength.
• Azure top and black underside reduce light penetration and heat exchange.
• 3 ft overlap keeps the cover secured over the top rail for a better seal.

Will this cover fit my 28-foot above-ground pool and how is it installed?

The cover is sized to fit a 28 ft round pool and includes a three-foot overlap, making the overall cover diameter 31 ft. Robelle supplies a winch and cable that thread through the perimeter grommets to cinch the cover to the pool frame; for extra security, you can add cover clips or cover wrap (sold separately).

• Designed for traditional above-ground pools with standard top rails.
• Includes winch and cable for tensioning through grommets.
• Three-foot overlap gives easier installation and better hold in wind.
• Consider ordering a larger size if your pool has an oversized top rail.

How durable is the material and what warranty does it have?

The cover uses 2.2 oz./yd² polyethylene woven with a 7 x 7 scrim—measures that indicate strength and longevity under seasonal conditions. Robelle builds this Value-Line cover about 10% heavier than the industry standard and backs it with an 8-year warranty, reflecting decades of product development and manufacturing experience.

• 2.2 oz./yd² polyethylene provides reliable seasonal durability.
• 7 x 7 scrim weave improves tear resistance and tensile strength.
• Constructed approximately 10% heavier than typical industry covers.
• Backed by Robelle's 8-year warranty for material and workmanship.

What accessories or installation tips help the cover perform best?

Use the included winch and cable to secure the cover by threading through the cover's grommets and tightening around the pool. In exposed, high-wind areas or pools with adjacent decking, supplement the winch with vinyl water weights, cover clips or cover wrap for added stability and to keep the cover loosely floating over the water.

• Use winch and cable included to secure through grommets.
• Add vinyl water weights on decks where appropriate.
• Install cover wrap or cover clips for extra wind protection (sold separately).
• Ensure the cover can float loosely on water; go up one size for large top rails.

Who is this for: Pool owners with a 28 ft round, above-ground pool and a traditional top rail who want a straightforward, solid winter cover built for off-season protection. If you need a durable, easy-to-install cover with proven materials, a winch-and-cable fastening system, and an industry-leading warranty, the Robelle 28 ft Value-Line is designed for you. Note: it is not intended as an in-season debris cover or a safety pool cover; choose accessories if your installation requires additional securing or ice management.
