Arctic Armor Mesh Safety Cover

This cover is specifically engineered for a 20ft x 40ft rectangular in-ground pool. Because safety covers require a precise fit to maintain tension and meet safety standards, it is not recommended for pools with different dimensions or non-rectangular shapes.

The fine mesh is designed to filter out leaves, twigs, and larger debris while allowing water to pass through. While it prevents solid waste from entering, very fine silt or algae spores can occasionally pass through, though the cover significantly reduces the amount of cleaning required in the spring.

Yes, the cover includes all necessary hardware, including brass anchors, stainless steel springs, and an installation tool. While it is a DIY-friendly project, it requires drilling into your pool deck to install the anchors, so you will need a hammer drill and a bit of patience to ensure proper alignment.

Unlike solid covers that require a cover pump to remove standing water, this mesh cover allows rain and snowmelt to drain directly into the pool. This prevents the weight of standing water from stressing the cover and eliminates the need for manual water removal.

The cover is low-maintenance due to its rot- and mildew-resistant polypropylene construction. You should periodically check that the springs remain under proper tension and clear away any heavy debris that may accumulate on the surface to ensure the cover stays taut.

Yes, this cover is designed to meet or exceed ASTM safety standards. When properly installed with the included anchoring system, it provides a secure, tamper-proof barrier that can support over 4,000 lbs, offering a high level of protection for children and pets.
