GLI Secur-A-Pool 18' x 36' Mesh Pool Safety Cover, Blue
Drains itself. Holds weight.
The GLI Secur-A-Pool 18' x 36' mesh safety cover in Blue (SKU PST-201836RECES48SAPBLU) locks an in-ground pool down for the off-season behind a patented polypropylene mesh blend with an increased weave count. Rain and snowmelt drain straight through to the pool while dirt and leaves stay on top, so nothing ponds on the surface and there is no cover pump to run through a freeze. Anchored into the deck, it meets ASTM F 1346-91 and is built to hold the weight of a child or a pet that wanders onto it.
Why PST Customers Pick This
No Standing Water
The mesh weave passes rain and snowmelt through to the pool and holds debris on top. Nothing collects on the surface, so there is no cover pump to power, prime or thaw in January, and no water weight dragging on the seams.
Rated to Hold Weight
Secur-A-Pool meets or exceeds ASTM F 1346-91, the safety cover performance standard. Anchored properly it will support a child or pet that walks onto it, which is the difference between a safety cover and an ordinary winter cover.
Patented Mesh Blend
GLI's polypropylene mesh uses a patented blend with an increased weave count for strength and shade. Tighter weave means more of the sunlight that drives algae gets stopped at the surface, and finer debris stays out of the water.
Brass Anchors, Stainless Springs
Flush-mount solid brass anchors drill into the deck and drop below grade in the summer so nobody catches a toe. Stainless steel springs tension the cover down and give it the controlled flex it needs under a snow load.
Made in the USA
Secur-A-Pool covers are manufactured in the United States. Replacement panels, springs and anchor hardware stay available through the warranty term instead of disappearing when a production run ends.
Opens Without a Fight
The cover releases only with the installation rod, so it is tamper resistant through the winter. In spring, debris that collected on top brushes off and the cover comes up clean enough to fold and bag the same afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a safety cover or a winter cover?
Both. Secur-A-Pool is a true safety cover that meets ASTM F 1346-91, meaning it anchors into the deck and is built to hold weight, and it also does the winter job of keeping the pool clean. An ordinary solid winter cover does neither of those things and should never be walked on.
What size do I order for my pool?
Order by pool size. This cover is cut for a 18' x 36' pool and extends roughly a foot past the edge in each direction so the anchors land in the deck. Measure your water surface at the longest and widest points. If your pool has steps outside the rectangle, order the matching step layout instead of a plain rectangle.
Do I need a cover pump with a mesh cover?
No. Rain and snowmelt drain through the mesh into the pool, so nothing accumulates on the surface and there is no pump to run. Expect the water level to rise over the winter and plan to lower it at opening. You will also see a little more fine sediment than with a solid cover, since the weave passes dust.
What is included and what do I need to install it?
The cover ships with brass deck anchors, stainless steel springs, an installation rod and a storage bag. Installation means drilling anchor holes in the deck at the marked positions, which most owners hire out the first season. Once the anchors are set, taking the cover on and off each year is a one-person job.
How long does the GLI warranty run?
GLI covers Secur-A-Pool with a 15 year limited warranty with 3 year full coverage, then pro-rated for the balance. It applies to defects in materials and workmanship. Ice damage, storm damage and improper anchoring are not covered.
