GLI Pool Products Secur-A-Pool Safety Cover

While the mesh material allows water to drain through, it is designed to block sunlight, which significantly inhibits algae growth. However, because it is a mesh cover, some fine silt or sunlight may still penetrate, so we recommend balancing your pool water chemistry before closing for the season.

This cover is sized at 20 feet by 38 feet, which is designed to fit a standard 18-foot by 36-foot rectangular pool. The extra two feet on each side provide the necessary overlap to secure the cover properly to your pool deck.

Yes, this cover is built to meet ASTM F 1346-91 safety standards, meaning it is engineered to act as a safety barrier capable of supporting significant weight. It is designed specifically to prevent accidental entry by children and pets, though it should not be used as a play surface.

The primary advantage of mesh is drainage; it allows rain and snowmelt to pass through into the pool, preventing the dangerous accumulation of standing water on top of the cover. This also makes the cover much lighter and easier to install or remove compared to heavy solid covers.

Yes, this specific model includes a 4-foot by 8-foot step section to accommodate standard pool entry points. Ensure your step dimensions align with this measurement before purchasing to guarantee a secure fit.

Maintenance is minimal. Because the mesh allows water to drain, you don't need to pump off standing water. Simply check the tension of the straps periodically to ensure the cover remains taut and debris-free.
