TIXANF 18FT Round Winter Pool Cover — 500D Extra-Thick Green, LDPE-Coated with Steel-Core Cable

The TIXANF 18FT Round Winter Pool Cover is a heavy-duty, 500D extra-thick above-ground cover that blocks debris, UV damage and winter weather to keep pool water clean until spring.

When you need reliable winter protection for an 18-foot round above-ground pool, this TIXANF cover combines a dense woven core with a robust LDPE coating and reinforced fastening hardware. Built to resist cold, heat and sunlight, it reduces maintenance by preventing leaves, dirt and critters from contaminating water over the off-season. The extra 4-foot overlap and included steel-core cable with a winch make installation secure and straightforward.

How does this cover keep my pool free of debris through winter?

The cover’s tightly woven 500D fabric and 16 × 16 mesh count physically block leaves, pine needles, insects and small animals. A tough LDPE surface adds a secondary barrier so particles and moisture remain outside the pool, reducing the need for heavy cleaning when reopening.

• 500D heavy weave prevents most debris from passing through.
• 220 g/m² fabric density for long-lasting performance.
• Black LDPE coating repels fine particles and sheds moisture.
• Reinforced grommets and steel-core cable keep edges sealed.

Will this cover stand up to sun, cold and temperature swings?

Yes — the materials are formulated to tolerate a wide temperature range from -10° F (-25° C) up to 180° F (80° C). UV-resistant LDPE prevents sun degradation and reduces light penetration to discourage algae and plant growth while the heavy fabric resists cracking in cold weather.

• UV protection blocks approximately 99.8% of harmful rays.
• Durable in freezing temperatures and hot summer storage.
• LDPE coating insulates and limits sunlight-driven algae growth.
• Thicker construction reduces tears from wind or snow load.

How easy is it to install and secure the cover?

TIXANF includes reinforced metal grommets, a steel-core cable and a winch to tighten and lock the cover in place. The 4-foot overlap simplifies positioning over the pool and gives ample material to secure beneath the rim for a snug fit that resists wind lift.

• Reinforced grommets resist tearing during tensioning.
• Steel-core cable threads through grommets for continuous hold.
• Winch provided to pull the cable tight quickly and safely.
• 4-foot overlap accommodates different pool rail setups.

What maintenance or storage steps should I follow for the cover?

Remove large debris before folding and store the dry cover in a cool, shaded place to prolong life. Periodically check grommets and cable tension during the season; minor repairs can extend performance for multiple years.

• Brush off sticks and heavy debris prior to removal.
• Allow cover to dry to avoid mildew before folding.
• Inspect and tighten cable after storms or heavy snow.
• Store in a protective bag or box when not in use.
