Yankee Pool Leaf Net Cover for 20x40 ft Rectangular Pool - Keeps

In this review the Yankee Pool Leaf Net Cover for a 20x40 ft rectangular in-ground pool is evaluated for homeowners who want a simple, low-cost way to keep leaves and debris out of their water. The bottom line: this heavy-duty 0.15 woven mesh net is best for people who need a breathable, debris-blocking cover that reduces skimming and protects filters through the fall and off-season. Its dense mesh and straightforward installation make it a practical tool for routine pool maintenance and seasonal leaf control.

Key Features

• Dense mesh: The 0.15 woven netting uses a fine, heavy-duty weave that effectively prevents leaves and larger debris from entering the pool while letting water pass through.
• Time saving: By stopping most organic matter before it reaches the water, the net reduces the frequency of skimming and lowers routine cleaning time.
• Durable construction: The heavy-duty woven material is designed to resist fraying and tearing under normal use, offering longer service than lighter nets.
• Seasonal protection: The cover serves as a simple addition to winterization, helping keep the pool cleaner during the off-season when leaf fall and debris are common.
• Secure installation: The net can be fastened around rectangular in-ground pools using water weight tubes (sold separately) for a snug fit and reliable debris retention.

Who It's For

This product suits homeowners with 20x40 ft rectangular in-ground pools who want an affordable, practical solution to reduce leaves and keep filtration systems clearer. It is especially useful for yards with heavy tree cover or for anyone who prefers a low-effort cover to complement regular maintenance.

People seeking a rigid, solid winter cover or full dust and light-blocking protection should look elsewhere; this net is intentionally breathable to allow water to pass through and is focused on leaf and large-debris retention rather than forming a watertight barrier.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective leaf retention thanks to dense 0.15 woven mesh that cuts down skimming frequency.
• Easy to install and remove, making seasonal use straightforward for most homeowners.
• Helps prevent filter clogging and reduces organic load in the pool, supporting healthier water maintenance.

Cons

• Durability concerns have been reported by some users who experienced tearing in spots under heavy stress, so rough handling may shorten life span.
