Yankee Pool Pillow Oval Pool Cover 16 x 32 ft — UV-Resistant Winter Cover with Black Underside

The Yankee Pool Pillow oval pool cover 16 x 32 ft is a heavy-duty, UV-resistant winter cover designed to protect above-ground oval pools through extreme temperatures while fastening securely around the rim.

When you need reliable off-season protection for an oval above-ground pool, this 16×32-foot cover from Yankee Pool Pillow offers reinforced construction and weather-tested coatings to block sunlight, debris, and water overgrowth. Built with a 14×14 scrim count and a dense 185 gsm fabric, the cover balances tear resistance with flexibility for installation and storage. The underside is black to inhibit algae growth, and reinforced metal grommets plus a steel-core cable and molded winch help keep the cover tight and stable during wind and snow.

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

The cover uses LDPE coating to resist ultraviolet breakdown and a black underside that reduces light penetration, slowing algae growth. Its tested temperature tolerance ranges from −10°F (−25°C) to 180°F (80°C), so the fabric remains stable through typical seasonal extremes.

• LDPE UV-resistant coating protects material and pool water.
• Black underside limits light to discourage algae.
• Material withstands large temperature variations without splitting.

How strong and durable is the material for long-term use?

This cover is built to industry-leading standards: a 14×14 scrim count combined with a 185 gsm density provides a reinforced weave that resists tearing and seam failure. Reinforced metal grommets and a steel-core cable distribute load across the perimeter so the cover remains secure under snow and wind.

• 14×14 scrim count improves seam reliability and tear resistance.
• 185 gsm fabric weight for long-term durability.
• Steel-core cable through reinforced grommets for a firmer hold.

What hardware is included and how do I secure the cover?

The oval cover ships with reinforced metal grommets along the hem and a molded winch designed to work smoothly with the steel-core cable. Thread the cable through the grommets, tighten with the winch, and anchor the cable around the pool frame or a stake kit (sold separately) for best results.

• Reinforced metal grommets placed at regular intervals.
• Steel-core perimeter cable for tensioning.
• Molded winch included to make tightening simple and secure.
