If you own an 18 x 40 ft inground pool and want a robust, solid winter cover that’s easy to install and built to last, Robelle’s Super Winter Cover is a strong choice. It suits pool owners who prefer solid covers that keep meltwater on top for managed removal, those who value thicker, reinforced fabric, and anyone seeking a cover backed by a multi-year warranty. Choose a larger size when your pool has steps or protrusions to ensure a loose, floating fit and to avoid excess stress on the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this cover allow water through the fabric?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The Robelle Super Winter Cover is a solid, non-permeable cover that does not let water pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Are water tubes included for installation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The cover includes perimeter loops but vinyl water tubes are sold separately and are required for proper installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Robelle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56801414218068,"sku":"B00CZ9ELW2","price":209.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/robelle-cover-spread-over-pool.jpg?v=1786741479","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/robelle-heavy-duty-winter-pool-cover-for-inground-pools-18-x-40-ft-imperial-blue-solid-8x8-scrim","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
