Arctic Armor Leaf Net In-Ground Swimming Pool Cover

No, this is designed to be used as a secondary layer. You should install it on top of your existing winter cover to catch debris, making it much easier to remove leaves before they decompose and stain your primary cover.

The net features integrated loops around the perimeter. You will need to use deck weights or water bags to secure these loops, keeping the net taut across the surface of your pool.

The four-foot overlap is essential for ensuring the net extends past the edge of your pool, providing enough slack to accommodate the water level and allowing you to securely anchor the net to your deck without it pulling tight or tearing.

While the mesh is highly effective at catching larger leaves and twigs, it is not designed to filter out fine silt, sand, or very small pine needles. Its primary purpose is to prevent large organic matter from decaying on your winter cover.

Once you remove the net in the spring, rinse it thoroughly with a hose to remove any trapped debris and allow it to dry completely in the sun. Fold it loosely and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the polyethylene material.
