Dohenys Professional Grade Leaf Net 12ft x 24ft Oval - Keeps Leaves

In this review of the Dohenys Professional Grade Leaf Net for above ground pools, the bottom line is simple: it is for pool owners who want an easy seasonal solution to prevent leaves and larger debris from fouling water and making spring clean-up a chore. The net's main selling point is its ability to sit over an above ground oval pool and trap leaves, twigs and pollen so they can be removed quickly each day or stored away at season end. The reviewer found installation straightforward and cleanup significantly faster when the net was used alone or over a winter cover.

Key Features

• Professional grade construction: The deluxe option uses double-reinforced, rot-resistant binding and tighter webbing for longer life and improved debris capture.
• Lightweight and versatile: The net is easy to put on and take off daily, making routine debris removal fast and low-effort.
• Size allowance for fit: All above ground leaf nets are 3 ft larger than pool size to ensure a proper drape and coverage.
• Two warranty tiers: Deluxe leaf nets include a 2-year limited warranty with 1-year full replacement for defects, while economy nets carry a 1-year limited warranty.
• Deluxe UV protection: The deluxe woven materials include an exclusive UV inhibitor to resist sun damage and extend net life.
• Use alone or with covers: Designed to be used by itself to keep leaves out or in combination with a winter cover to make spring opening much easier.

Who It's For

This leaf net is best for owners of above ground oval pools who want a practical, lightweight barrier against leaves, twigs and larger debris without committing to a heavy solid cover. It suits people who perform daily or weekly skimming and prefer removing bulk debris by hand before storing the net for winter.

Those who need a barrier against very fine debris or complete water isolation during winter should look elsewhere; the net is not a sealed winter cover and customers noted that holes in the webbing let smaller particles such as fine pollen pass through, so it is best paired with a winter cover for full protection.

Pros & Cons
