Winter Swimming Pool Cover for 25 ft x 45 ft Inground Rectangular Pool

Our review of the Winter Swimming Pool Cover for a 25 ft x 45 ft inground rectangular pool finds it best for pool owners who want a straightforward, heavy-duty winter shield. The cover's single biggest selling point is its solid, woven laminated polyethylene construction with a thick black underside coating, which is designed to keep leaves, dirt and branches from decaying in the pool through harsh winter weather. For anyone needing a winter cover with reinforced corners, a 5 ft overlap and an 18-year pro-rated warranty, this cover delivers a sensible mix of durability and simple installation.

Key Features

• Solid material: The woven, laminated polyethylene construction blocks sunlight and prevents debris from entering the pool all winter long.
• Extra strength: A 12 x 12 scrim count and 3.7 oz/yd2 material weight give the cover improved tear resistance and longevity in wind and snow.
• Industry-thick underside: The thick black underside coating adds abrasion resistance and helps protect the fabric from water and ground contact.
• Easy to secure: A 5 ft overlap with loops every 4 ft plus reinforced binding and metal grommets on each corner make it straightforward to position and anchor with water tubes.
• Sun protection: The fabric is treated against sunlight degradation so the cover resists UV damage over time.
• Long warranty: An 18-year pro-rated warranty provides extended coverage for manufacturing defects and material failure.

Who It's For

This cover is aimed at owners of rectangular inground pools measuring 25 ft x 45 ft (measure inside wall to inside wall) who need a no-nonsense winter solution that resists snow, ice and debris. It suits seasonal climates with inclement winter weather where a solid cover that prevents organic matter from decaying in the water is important.

It is less appropriate for buyers who need a custom-fit cover for pools with pronounced step bays or unusual protrusions without ordering a larger size, or for those who want a complete kit, since water tubes and anchoring accessories are sold separately.
