This 15 ft round cover from Yankee Pool Pillow’s Emerald Series combines a dense 9 mil fabric with reinforced seams, corrosion-resistant hardware, and a molded winch system to lock the cover in place. It’s designed to reflect harmful UV, suppress algae formation with a black underside, and tolerate wide temperature swings so the pool stays cleaner and easier to reopen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cover stand up to winter weather and debris?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emerald Series cover uses a durable 9 mil polyethylene fabric with a 10x10 scrim count for added tear resistance, plus reinforced seam sealing to prevent separation.
