118x79 in Rectangular Pool Cover 9.8 ft x 6.6 ft - Drawstring

In this review the 118x79 in Rectangular Pool Cover is examined for owners of above ground frame pools looking for a simple, durable way to keep debris out of their water. The bottom line: this cover is best for rectangular frame pools close to 9.8 ft by 6.6 ft that need reliable, weather-resistant protection without complicated installation. The drawstring design and included waterproof Velcro straps are the single biggest reason to consider it, since they significantly improve fit and stability compared with a loose tarp-style cover.

Key Features

• Multi-size options: Available in five sizes so buyers can choose a close match for common frame rectangular pools and patio furniture tables.
• Drawstring fit: The integrated drawcord helps achieve a snug, adjustable fit so the cover resists wind and stays in place over the pool frame.
• 210D oxford fabric: A high-strength material that provides a durable barrier against leaves, dust and light debris while remaining foldable for storage.
• UPF50+ sun protection: The fabric blocks most UV rays to limit fading and sun damage, extending the life of the cover.
• Reinforced attachment: Ten pull tabs and waterproof adhesive Velcro straps are supplied to anchor the cover to pool poles and reduce blow-away risk.
• Easy on/off: No tools or professional skills are required, so installation and removal are quick for routine cleaning or water changes.

Who It's For

This cover is aimed at owners of above ground rectangular frame pools around 9.8 ft x 6.6 ft (118 in x 79 in) who want straightforward seasonal or off-season protection from leaves, dust and UV. It suits backyard pools where a tailored fit and simple attachment method are preferred over a loose universal tarp.

It is not the best choice for in-ground pools or very large custom frames beyond the listed sizes, and buyers who need heavy-duty winter ice load protection or rigid hard covers should look for a different solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 210D oxford fabric offers good resistance to wear and sun exposure.
• Drawstring plus waterproof Velcro straps create a secure, adjustable fit for calmer handling of wind.
• Lightweight and easy to install or remove without tools.
• Multiple size options increase the chance of a proper fit for common rectangular frames.

Cons

• Designed for above ground frame pools only, so it will not suit in-ground or non-rectangular pools.
• While stable in many conditions, very high winds or heavy snow loads may still require removing the cover or adding extra stabilization.
