177in x 87in Rectangular Pool Cover 14 x 7 ft - Durable Winter

In this review of the 177in x 87in rectangular pool cover, the bottom line is simple: this cover is for owners of 14 x 7 frame above-ground rectangular pools who want a durable, easy-to-fit winter shield that reduces cleanup time. The reviewer found the cover's upgraded depth and heavier 210D oxford fabric give noticeably better protection against leaves, rain and fading, while the included drawstring and waterproof Velcro straps make installation and securing straightforward without tools.

Key Features

• Exact fit for 14 x 7 pools: Sized at 177.9in x 87.4in to match common 177 x 87in and 178 x 87in frame pools so the cover lays flat with minimal excess.
• Durable 210D oxford fabric: The heavier weave resists tearing and abrasion better than thin tarps, offering longer service life in seasonal storage.
• Increased depth: The sides were upgraded from about 7.8in to 11.81in depth, improving overlap and keeping the cover in place during wind and storms.
• Secure fastening system: A drawstring hem plus waterproof adhesive Velcro straps provide a snug fit and simple attachment to frame poles without complicated hardware.
• UV resistant finish: UPF50+ material blocks roughly 98% of harmful UV rays to prevent fading and slow material breakdown from sun exposure.
• Compact storage: The cover folds down for compact storage, which is convenient for off-season keeping in a garage or shed.

Who It's For

This cover is ideal for owners of rectangular above-ground frame pools around 14 ft by 7 ft who want a reliable winter or off-season cover that keeps debris out and reduces maintenance. It suits backyard pools in climates with significant leaf fall, rain, or seasonal sun exposure where a stronger fabric and deeper skirt matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of inflatable or non-frame pools with different attachment systems, or buyers who need a cover custom-sized beyond the listed dimensions. Also, if you require a safety cover certified to hold weight, this accessory cover is not marketed as a weight-bearing safety device.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• UPF50+ fabric helps prevent fading and UV damage over time.

Cons
