Superior 99% Shading Rate Inground Pool Safety Cover - Tan

Our review of the Superior 99% Shading Rate Inground Pool Safety Cover finds it best suited for homeowners who need a durable winter cover that keeps leaves, snow and fine debris out of a 20x40ft rectangular pool. The bottom line: this mesh cover combines a tight polypropylene fabric and a robust anchoring kit to deliver dependable seasonal protection and improved drainage, so owners spend less time scrubbing and more time opening the pool in spring. It is a practical, safety-focused choice for anyone prioritizing debris exclusion and long-term abrasion resistance.

Key Features

• 99% shading rate: Blocks sunlight effectively to reduce algae growth and limit the amount of fine debris entering the pool.
• Heavy-duty polypropylene mesh: Provides a balance of strength and drainage so water passes through while leaves and snow are kept out.
• Complete installation kit: Comes with drill and tamp style anchors and hardware to secure the cover to an inground installation.
• Double-strapped, triple-stitched construction: Reinforced seams and straps resist abrasion and aging for longer service life.
• Adjustable rope length: Allows a customized fit around a 20x40ft rectangle pool for a taut, stable cover.
• Safety net capability: Designed to increase safety around the pool by reducing the chance of accidental falls into open water.

Who It's For

This cover is ideal for homeowners with a 20x40ft rectangular inground pool who need a winter solution that prioritizes debris exclusion and safety. It fits situations where drainage is important, such as snowy or leaf-prone yards, because the mesh lets water pass while keeping finer material out.

It is less appropriate for those who want a solid, non-porous winter cover that completely blocks water entry, or for owners who need a custom-shaped cover outside standard rectangle dimensions; those shoppers should consider solid covers or custom fabrication options instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 99% shading rate reduces algae growth by blocking sunlight.
• Durable polypropylene mesh with double straps and triple stitching for long-term reliability.
• Included drill and tamp anchor system makes installation straightforward for most DIYers.
• Mesh design allows efficient drainage, preventing standing water buildup.

Cons

• Mesh lets water through, so it does not prevent all water or chemical dilution under the cover.
• Sized for a 20x40ft rectangle only, so irregular pools will need a custom solution.
