Yankee Pool Pillow Emerald Series Oval Pool Cover 12x24 ft — 9-mil LDPE, steel-core cable & rust-resistant grommets

The Yankee Emerald Series Oval 12x24 ft pool cover is a heavy-duty, medium-thickness winter cover that shields above-ground pools from debris, UV damage, and harsh temperatures while fastening securely with a steel-core cable and rust-resistant grommets.

Keep your oval above-ground pool in swim-ready condition with a purpose-built winter cover engineered to resist sun, cold, and standing debris. The Emerald Series combines a dense 9-mil woven fabric with an LDPE coating and a black underside to reflect UV and discourage algae growth, while reinforced seams and hardware deliver a snug, season-long fit.

How does this cover protect my pool during winter?

This cover creates a strong barrier against leaves, dirt, and sunlight while helping prevent water-borne algae and staining. The dense scrim and LDPE coating reduce light penetration and block damaging UV rays.

• 9 mil medium-thick woven fabric with 10x10 scrim for tear resistance
• LDPE-coated surface reflects sunlight and helps prevent overgrowth
• Black underside limits light entry to inhibit algae development
• Reinforced seam sealing reduces entry points for debris and water

Will it hold up in extreme temperatures and bad weather?

The Emerald cover is cold-tested to remain durable in frigid lows and also withstands very high local temperatures without rapidly degrading. Strong construction and corrosion-resistant fastening hardware help it resist wind and seasonal stress.

• Performance verified down to −10°F (−25°C) for winter resilience
• Heat tolerance up to 180°F (80°C) so it won’t soften under intense sun exposure
• Steel-core cable and rust-resistant metal grommets secure the perimeter
• Precision-molded winch gives reliable tensioning and easy removal

How easy is it to install and will it fit my oval 12x24 above-ground pool?

The cover is sized specifically for oval 12x24 ft pools and installs using the included steel-core cable routed through reinforced grommets, then tightened with the molded winch. Installation is straightforward with two people and minimal tools.

• Pre-cut for oval 12x24 ft above-ground pools for proper overlap and coverage
• Reinforced metal grommets spaced for even load distribution
• Steel-core cable included for strong perimeter attachment
• Precision winch simplifies tightening and seasonal removal

What makes the Emerald Series different from a generic tarp?

Unlike ordinary tarps, this cover uses pool-grade materials and manufacturing details designed for repeated seasonal use and long-term pool care. The combination of fabric density, coating, thermal testing, and hardware gives it a purpose-built advantage.

• 10x10 scrim count provides a denser woven structure than basic tarps
• LDPE coating and black underside specifically limit UV and light penetration
• Seam reinforcement and specialized grommets resist splitting under tension
• Engineered hardware (cable and winch) keeps the cover uniformly secure

Who this cover is for: Pool owners with an oval 12x24 ft above-ground pool who want a durable, season-ready winterization solution that balances heavy-duty protection with straightforward installation. It’s aimed at people who prefer a higher-quality, long-lasting cover over temporary tarps—those who want reduced maintenance in spring, fewer cleanings, and reliable performance through cold, sun, and wind.
