Robelle 24 ft Professional Silver Winter Pool Cover - Extra Heavy Duty

In this review the Robelle 24 ft Professional Silver Winter Pool Cover is evaluated for pool owners who need a heavy-duty, solid winter barrier for a 24 ft round above ground pool. The single biggest reason to buy is its construction: extra heavy polyethylene with a 12 x 12 scrim and a generous 4 ft overlap (28 ft cover size) that simplifies installation and increases durability compared with typical covers. The package also includes a winch and cable so the cover can be secured through grommets for optimal performance in wind and winter weather.

Key Features

• Extra overlap: The 4 ft overlap (cover measures 28 ft with overlap) makes installation easier and helps the cover float loosely on the water as intended.
• Heavy material: Constructed with a woven 12 x 12 scrim and roughly 3.7 oz/yd2 polyethylene for increased puncture and wear resistance over lighter covers.
• Solid design: This is a solid winter cover that does not allow water to pass through, so debris and most precipitation remain above the material.
• Includes winch and cable: The included winch and cable allow the cover to be secured through grommets and tightened around the pool perimeter for wind resistance.
• Industry warranty: Backed by a 15-Year Warranty, offering long-term protection and confidence in construction quality.

Who It's For

The Robelle 24 ft Professional Silver Winter Pool Cover is best for above ground pool owners with a 24 ft round pool who want a robust, solid cover that resists snow and ice and simplifies installation with extra overlap and included hardware. It is also a good choice for customers who value a long warranty and heavier material for colder climates.

Owners who need a permeable cover to let rainwater through or those who require integrated water management accessories (ice equalizers sold separately) should look elsewhere. Also, if you have very large top rails consider sizing up so the cover floats loosely on the water as recommended.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very heavy-duty woven material and 12 x 12 scrim improve tear resistance and longevity.
• Four foot overlap and included winch make installation straightforward compared with thinner covers.
• Solid construction blocks debris and prevents water from passing through the cover surface.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed durability outcomes, with isolated cases of tearing in severe conditions.
• Because it is a solid cover, rain and meltwater must be removed from the top; accessories like ice equalizer pillows are not included.

Our Verdict
