Winter Pool Covers

Protect your pool through the off-season with winter pool covers from GLI Pool Products and Pooltux. PST Pool Supplies stocks mesh safety covers, solid winter covers, and Armor Shield protection systems for inground and above-ground pools — starting from $52.90.

A properly installed winter cover protects the pool structure from freeze damage, prevents debris accumulation during the off-season, and maintains safety by preventing accidental access to the open pool. The cover type significantly impacts spring opening effort — mesh covers allow rainwater to drain through while blocking debris; solid covers keep the pool darker (better for algae prevention) but require a cover pump to manage water accumulation. The key products in this collection: GLI Armor Shield protection (16'x32' oval, 27/28' round) is a padded liner floor pad system that protects above-ground pool liners from sharp objects and ground pressure during the off-season — it installs under the liner, not over the water. The round version includes a liner floor pad. GLI Solid Classic Cover (24' round, with 3' overlap) is a standard solid winter cover for above-ground round pools — the 3' overlap lays flat on the pool deck surface and is held in place by a cable and winch system. Solid covers at $52.90 are the economical above-ground pool winterization choice. GLI Rectangular Mesh Safety Covers (20'x40', available in green and blue, $1,388.10) are premium inground pool safety covers — fine-woven mesh fabric stretched over stainless steel springs anchored to deck anchors installed around the pool perimeter. These covers support the weight of a person walking across them (meeting ASTM F1346 safety standards), preventing accidental submersion while allowing rainwater and snowmelt to drain through naturally. No cover pump is required. Pooltux Royal Mesh Covers (16'x32' blue, $1,069.20; 18'x36' blue, $1,200.10) are similarly constructed premium inground mesh safety covers with tightly woven mesh, brass anchors, and stainless steel springs.

For inground pools in freeze climates, mesh safety covers are the premier winterization solution — they eliminate cover pump maintenance, provide child and pet safety, and last 10–15 years with proper care. For above-ground pools, solid covers with a cover pump provide adequate protection at significantly lower cost. Size the cover to your pool's actual outside dimensions including the deck surround where anchors will be installed.
