Winter Swimming Pool Cover 12 ft x 24 ft Sandstone Tan - Secure Choice

In this review the Secure Choice Winter Swimming Pool Cover for a 12 ft x 24 ft rectangular inground pool is assessed for homeowners who need reliable seasonal protection. The bottom line: this solid, sandstone tan cover is best for pool owners in cold climates who want a heavy-duty, fade-resistant fabric that keeps leaves and debris out all winter. The reviewer found the woven laminated polyethylene material and thick black underside coating deliver durable protection against sun, snow, ice and wind while the 5 ft overlap and reinforced corners make it practical to install and secure.

Key Features

• Solid protection: The cover is a solid design that prevents leaves, dirt and branches from decaying in your pool during winter months.
• Durable material: Woven, laminated polyethylene with a 12 x 12 scrim count and 3.7 oz/yd2 weight gives extra strength and resistance to tearing.
• Weather resistance: Treated to resist sunlight degradation so the sandstone tan color holds up through seasons of exposure.
• Secure fit: A 5 ft overlap and loops every 4 ft allow water tubes to stay in place and help keep the cover tensioned over the pool.
• Reinforced hardware: Metal grommets on each corner and reinforced binding add durability where stress is concentrated.
• Warranty backing: A 15-year pro-rated warranty provides long-term coverage for defects and material degradation.

Who It's For

This cover is ideal for owners of 12 ft x 24 ft rectangular inground pools who live in regions with harsh winter conditions and need a solid barrier against snow, ice and wind. It fits pools measured inside wall to inside wall and includes a 5 ft overlap to simplify installation and accommodate minor size variations.

Those who need very lightweight, breathable covers or an exact-fit custom shape for protruding step sections may prefer a different style; for irregular pools the recommendation is to measure the longest and widest dimensions and consider a larger size if necessary.
