Evergreen Solid Winter Pool Cover 30 ft x 60 ft Rectangle - Durable

In this review of the Value Plus Choice evergreen winter cover, the bottom line is clear: this solid polyethylene cover is aimed at owners of a 30 ft x 60 ft inground rectangular pool who need heavy-duty winter protection. The reviewer finds it most compelling for regions with harsh winters because the woven, laminated construction and industry-thick black underside help keep snow, ice, leaves and debris out of the pool through the off-season. Installation is straightforward and the 10-year pro-rated warranty gives added peace of mind.

Key Features

• Solid woven polyethylene: Keeps dirt, leaves and branches from decaying in the pool, reducing cleanup in spring.
• Evergreen color: A neutral cover tone that blends into yard surroundings while resisting visible fading from sunlight exposure.
• Extra-strong construction: 8 x 8 scrim count and 2.36 oz/yd2 material weight give the cover enhanced strength and tear resistance.
• Generous overlap and secure loops: A 5 ft overlap and loops every 4 ft allow water tubes to be positioned to hold the cover securely in place.
• Reinforced corners and grommets: Metal grommets and reinforced binding at corners increase durability where tension is highest.
• 10-year pro-rated warranty: Manufacturer warranty provides longer-term protection and value for seasonal use.

Who It's For

The cover is best for homeowners with a standard rectangular inground pool measuring 30 ft x 60 ft (measure inside wall to inside wall) who live in climates that experience snow, ice and strong winter weather and want a solid cover that prevents organic debris from entering the pool. The heavy black underside and treated surface are suited to yards where durability and sun resistance matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of pools with large protruding steps or custom shapes unless they measure the maximum length and width and choose a larger size; also buyers who prefer a mesh cover or who want water tubes included should note that tubes are sold separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid material prevents leaves and dirt from entering the pool, simplifying spring opening.
• Durable 8 x 8 scrim and 2.36 oz/yd2 weight resist tears and abrasions in harsh conditions.
• Reinforced corners and metal grommets improve longevity at high-stress points.
• Includes a 5 ft overlap and secure loop spacing that work well with standard water tubes.

Cons

• Water tubes are not included, so additional purchase is required for complete winter anchoring.
• Custom-shaped pools or pools with steps may require ordering a larger size for full coverage.
