Description
Meyco MeycoLite 18' x 36' Rectangle w/ 1' Offset Step Mesh Pool Safety Cover, Green
Light 4.4 oz mesh, 95% sunblock.
The Meyco MeycoLite 18' x 36' Rectangle w/ 1' Offset Step mesh pool safety cover, Green (SKU PST-MEY1LH18) is the light one: a 4.4 oz per square yard mesh that blocks 95% of the sun's rays and still drains rain and snowmelt straight through to the pool. A 20% tighter weave filters debris out of the runoff, so winter maintenance is close to nothing and there is no cover pump to run. Meyco builds it with 45% stronger webbing, double perimeter webbing, solid brass anchors, stainless steel buckles, and marine-grade thread, all backed by a 12-year warranty.
The Lightest Cover Meyco Builds
At 4.4 oz per square yard, MeycoLite is the easiest cover in the Meyco line to drag out in October and roll up in April. Less fabric weight means less to lift over the deck rail, less to fold, and less strain on your back at both ends of the season, without giving up the tensioned safety barrier you bought the cover for. The material is also treated for colorfastness, so it holds its color instead of bleaching out after a few summers in storage.
Tighter Weave, Cleaner Water
MeycoLite's mesh uses a 20% tighter weave than commodity mesh, which does two jobs at once. It blocks 95% of the sun's rays, so algae never gets the light it needs to bloom under the cover, and it filters the rain and snowmelt passing through, holding fine debris on top instead of dropping it on your pool floor. Water drains itself all winter, so no cover pump has to run and nothing ponds on the surface.
Hardware That Will Not Stain Your Deck
Meyco specs non-corrosive solid brass anchors that sit flush with the deck during swim season, plus stainless steel buckles and aluminum strap tips that will not rust or bleed onto concrete and pavers. Thick straps and double perimeter webbing raise break strength where the load actually lands, and every seam is sewn with white polyester bonded, UV-resistant marine thread. Four U.S. patents back the design, and covers exceed ASTM safety standards.
Who It's For
Families With Kids & Pets
Anchored and tensioned to spec, MeycoLite is a real barrier over the water that exceeds ASTM F1346 requirements for manual safety covers.
One-Person Closings
The lightest fabric Meyco offers makes install and removal manageable when you do not have a crew standing by every fall.
Snow Country Pools
Meltwater drains straight through the mesh instead of ponding, so the cover sheds weight all winter with no cover pump required.
Low-Maintenance Winters
Filtering mesh means little to nothing to do between closing and opening. Blow the debris off in spring and pull the cover.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Exceeds ASTM Standards
Meyco covers are built to exceed the ASTM performance standards for manual safety covers, backed by four U.S. patents.
No Cover Pump Needed
Rain and snowmelt pass through the mesh to the pool, so nothing ponds on the surface and there is no pump to power through a freeze.
20% Tighter Weave
A denser mesh than commodity covers blocks 95% of the sun's rays and strains fine debris out of the water heading into the pool.
Brass & Stainless Hardware
Non-corrosive solid brass anchors sit flush when open. Stainless steel buckles and aluminum tips will not rust or stain decking.
45% Stronger Webbing
Thick straps and double perimeter webbing raise tensile strength where the cover carries load, which is what buys you a longer service life.
Complete Install Kit
Ships with brass deck anchors, stainless steel springs, an installation rod, and a storage bag for the swim season.
Installation Notice
A safety cover performs to ASTM F1346 only when it is fully installed: every strap anchored into sound decking and tensioned per Meyco's installation guide. Drill brass anchors into concrete, stone, or pavers that can carry the load, and never leave the cover partially attached. A loose cover is not a safety barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MeycoLite, RuggedMesh, and PermaGuard?
All three are Meyco safety covers with the same brass and stainless hardware and the same 12-year warranty. MeycoLite is the light standard mesh at 4.4 oz per square yard, blocking 95% of the sun's rays. RuggedMesh is the heavier premium mesh at 6 oz per square yard, blocking 99% and filtering finer debris. PermaGuard is solid and blocks 100%. MeycoLite is the pick when easy handling and price matter most.
How do I pick the right size?
Order by your pool's water surface, not by the finished cover dimensions. This listing fits a 18' x 36' pool, and Meyco sews the cover oversized so it overlaps the deck on all sides and anchors under tension. Measure at the waterline, match the listed size, and match the step or offset configuration in the title if your pool has one.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, if you are comfortable drilling into your deck. You lay the cover out, drill the anchor holes, thread the stainless springs onto the straps, and tension each strap with the included installation rod. Plan on a helper and an afternoon the first year. After that, seasonal on and off runs about 15 to 20 minutes.
Will water sit on top of the cover?
No. The mesh passes rain and snowmelt straight through to the pool, so nothing ponds on the surface and you never need a cover pump. Fine debris stays on top, so blow or brush the cover off before you remove it in spring.
What colors does MeycoLite come in?
Meyco offers MeycoLite in Green, Blue, Black, Gray, and Mocha. Green is the standard stocking color at PST Pool Supplies, and the color of this cover is listed in the title and the spec table above.
What does the Meyco warranty cover?
Every Meyco cover carries a 12-year manufacturer warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Register the cover after purchase: keeps a record of registered covers and their measurements, so a replacement can be rebuilt to your original specs if you ever need one.

Let customers speak for us
The bulb was lost in transit and PST reached out proactively to ask if I wanted a replacement shipped out!
part was an exact fit for my old spa, price was great thanks
Fast shipping and great customer support. I appreciate all of the help in getting my spa up and working.
The cord worked perfectly when I upgraded my older Balboa spa and pump.
I had a leak in which water was leaking out to the waste line. I could hear the water trickling in the waste line. The spider gasket in this kit resolved the issue.
Shipping and delivery were quick. Would definitely order again from PST.
Fit perfectly and works great.
Awesome item. I can control my spa from my phone!! Love it. Item was shipoed out and delivered so fast. Hooking it up was a breeze.
The support staff to make the orders were outstanding; even though I made a quantity error. And the timeliness of all the repair parts I needed to get the OLD Tiger Shark running as good as new was wonderful. My pool is crystal clear.
Fit perfectly on our bubbler lightv
The only place I could find with the part I needed. Delivery was fast and the price was great. Best pool supply store on the web.
Part was easy to find and arrived a couple of days earlier than originally scheduled.
The ceramic spindle in the center of the original impellor broke. Replacement with this part was super easy and pump performs like new.
