Swimline SuperGuard 12' x 28' Above Ground Solid Winter Pool Cover
Shut the pool down for winter.
The Swimline SuperGuard Solid Winter Cover for 12' x 28' above ground pools (SKU PST-PCO81531) lays right on the water and shuts leaves, dirt, rain and sunlight out of your pool from closing day to opening day. The finished cover measures 15' x 31', which is 3' larger than your pool, so there is fabric to fold over the top rail and cinch down with the included coated steel cable and winch. Swimline backs it with a 8-year limited, first year full warranty. The SuperGuard is the entry point in Swimline's solid winter lineup and the one most owners reach for on a straightforward seasonal closing.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Solid, Not Mesh
Nothing passes through the fabric. Leaves, dirt, pollen and sunlight all stay on top, so the water underneath stays clear instead of turning green under a mesh cover.
Cable and Winch Included
Grommets run the full perimeter, the coated steel cable threads through them, and the metal winch pulls the whole cover tight against your top rail.
UV and Chemical Resistant
The polyethylene is treated to take a full season of sun, freeze and thaw plus splash-back from your winterizing chemicals without going brittle at the folds.
The Sensible Closing Cover
SuperGuard is Swimline's entry level solid winter cover. If you close every fall and want the water clean in spring without overthinking it, this is the one.
Run a Cover Pump
Rain and snowmelt pool on any solid cover. A cover pump keeps that weight off the fabric and off your pool wall from the first storm to the spring thaw.
Not a Safety Cover
A solid winter cover is not a safety cover. It floats on the water and will not hold the weight of a child, a pet or an adult, and standing water on top of it is a drowning hazard. Keep a cover pump running on the cover, keep everyone off it, and use an anchored safety cover if you need a real barrier.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What size cover do I order for my pool?
Order by your pool size, not the cover size. Every SuperGuard is cut larger than the pool it is listed for, and the overlap in the title is how much bigger the finished cover is, so the fabric reaches past the wall with room to secure it. Measure the pool itself and match that number.
How does the cover attach to an above ground pool?
The cable threads through the grommets around the edge of the cover, runs around the outside of your top rail, and the winch takes up the slack until the cover is snug. Most owners add cover clips or wall bags in windy spots, and an air pillow underneath to take the pressure of expanding ice off the pool wall.
What is the difference between SuperGuard, SupremeGuard and SilverKing?
All three are solid Swimline winter covers that block water, debris and sunlight, and all three install the same way. The difference is the warranty and the color: SuperGuard is blue with an 8-year warranty and 1 year full, SupremeGuard is green with a 10-year warranty and 1 year full, and SilverKing is silver with a 15-year warranty and 2 years full.
Is a solid winter cover the same as a safety cover?
No, and this is the one thing to get right. A winter cover is a tarp that floats on the water and keeps debris out. It is not a barrier and will not support weight. A safety cover is anchored into the deck with springs and is built to the ASTM F1346 standard. If you need to keep children and pets out of the pool, buy a safety cover.
Can I put the cover on myself?
Two people and about half an hour. Skim the pool, lower the water to the level your closing instructions call for, float the cover out over the water rather than dragging it across the coping, then secure the perimeter. Doing it on a calm day makes the whole job easier.

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.
