GLI HyPerLite 16' x 32' Rectangle w/ Center Step Solid Pool Safety Cover, Tan
Total sunblock, 30% lighter carry.
The GLI HyPerLite 16' x 32' Rectangle w/ Center Step solid pool safety cover, Tan (SKU PST-201632RECES48HYPTANP) shuts out 100% of sunlight with PVC-coated polyester fabric that runs about 30% lighter than a standard solid cover, so you get total algae blackout without wrestling a heavyweight tarp across the deck. This configuration is built without a drain panel and pairs with a cover pump to clear surface water. This one is closeout stock at a closeout price, so it ships while supplies last, complete with brass anchors, springs, installation rod, and storage bag under GLI's 15-year limited warranty.
100% Sunblock
Total Blackout Over the Water
HyPerLite's PVC-coated polyester fabric blocks 100% of sunlight, so algae gets nothing to work with between closing and opening. No light means no spring bloom, which usually means less shock, less brushing, and a shorter startup than any mesh cover can give you. The solid deck also keeps dirt, pollen, and organic runoff from ever reaching the water, so what you uncover in April is close to what you covered in October.
Kleen-Screen
Kleen-Screen Drains the Surface
A solid cover has to move rain and snowmelt somewhere. GLI's patented Kleen-Screen drain is a fine mesh panel built into the solid fabric that pulls standing water off the surface while straining out dirt, leaves, and grit so only clean water passes into the pool. Covers ordered without a drain panel use an automatic cover pump instead. Either way, water never sits and stretches the fabric through a freeze and thaw cycle.
Who It's For
Cleanest Spring Openings
Nothing gets to the water: no light, no leaf tea, no runoff. If you hate opening to green water, a solid cover is the strongest answer.
Families With Kids & Pets
Anchored and tensioned to spec, HyPerLite meets or exceeds ASTM F1346-91 for manual safety covers and holds an adult's weight.
Heavy Debris Yards
Improved puncture resistance stands up to falling branches and animal traffic.
Closeout Shoppers
These are covers at closeout pricing in one-off sizes and step layouts. When the size is gone, it is gone.
Why PST Customers Pick This
100% Sunlight Blockage
The solid PVC-coated polyester deck stops every ray, which shuts down algae growth under the cover through the entire off-season.
Kleen-Screen Drain or Cover Pump
Depending on configuration, a fine mesh drain panel or an automatic cover pump clears standing water off the cover, and the drain panel filters out the dirt and leaves that would otherwise wash into the pool.
30% Lighter To Handle
HyPerLite fabric is about 30% lighter than standard solid cover material.
Complete Cover System
Ships with brass deck anchors, springs, the installation rod, anchor key, and a storage bag.
Closeout Pricing
Limited closeout stock in specific sizes and step configurations. Once this size sells out it will not be restocked at this price.
Installation Notice
A safety cover meets ASTM F1346 only when every strap is anchored into sound decking and tensioned per GLI's owner's instructions. Solid covers also depend on the pool staying filled to the level in the manual, since the water supports the cover under snow load. Never leave the cover partially attached, and never drain the pool under an installed solid cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this cover a closeout?
These are one-off HyPerLite covers in specific sizes, colors, and step layouts that are being cleared at closeout pricing, with GLI's 15-year limited warranty. Quantities are single units in most sizes, so once this listing sells out we cannot rebuild it at this price.
Does this cover have a Kleen-Screen drain panel or a cover pump?
Solid covers in this closeout run ship either with GLI's patented Kleen-Screen mesh drain panel sewn into the cover or paired with an automatic cover pump. Both solve the same problem, which is getting rain and snowmelt off the cover surface. Message the PST team with the model number listed above and we will confirm exactly which configuration this cover is before it ships.
How does a solid cover compare to mesh?
Solid HyPerLite blocks 100% of sunlight and keeps all dirt and runoff out of the pool, so spring water is as clean as it gets. Mesh such as GLI Secur-A-Pool lets water pass straight through, which means less maintenance but dirtier water at opening. Choose solid if you want the best possible spring startup, mesh if you want the least winter attention.
How do I pick the right size?
Order by your pool's water surface, not the finished cover dimensions. This listing fits a 16' x 32' pool and is sewn oversized so it overlaps the deck and anchors under tension. Match the step or offset configuration in the title too, since closeout covers are built for one specific layout and cannot be modified.
Can I install this myself?
Yes. You lay the cover out, drill the anchor holes in the deck, thread the springs on the straps, and tension each strap with the included installation rod. If your deck is stamped or specialty concrete, a professional installer is the safer call.
What warranty comes with a closeout cover?
The same as a made-to-order HyPerLite: a 15-year limited warranty with 3 years of full coverage against defects in material and workmanship. Keep your receipt, follow the owner's instructions for anchoring, tensioning, and pool water level, and register the cover after purchase.
