Tara 20' x 50' Standard Mesh In-Ground Pool Safety Cover, 5x5 Grid, 4x8 Right Flush Step
Featherweight mesh, certified winter safety.
Tara 20' x 50' Standard Mesh In-Ground Pool Safety Cover (SKU PST-TM2050RERMRFES5BLU, MPN TM2050RERMRFES5GRN) locks down your pool for the winter with a 4.7 oz per square yard woven polypropylene mesh that is independently tested to meet or exceed the ASTM F1346 safety cover standard. Tara Manufacturing sews each cover to order in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama for a 20' x 50' rectangular pool, 4x8 Right Flush Step configuration, on a 5' x 5' double-webbing strap grid. You choose from four mesh colors, Blue, Green, Gray, or Tan, and every cover ships with solid brass deck anchors, stainless steel springs, an installation rod, and a storage bag.
Tested to the ASTM F1346 Safety Standard
Every Tara safety cover is independently tested to meet or exceed ASTM F1346, the performance standard written for swimming pool safety covers. Straps cross the cover in both directions on a 5' x 5' grid, each one double layered, with double perimeter webbing and box tack stitching in UV and chemical resistant thread at every stress point. Anchored and tensioned to the deck, the cover forms a taut barrier over the water so an unattended child or pet is not met with open water.
Light Enough to Handle Alone
At 4.7 oz per square yard, Tara's standard mesh is the lightest cover line the company builds, which matters twice a year when the cover goes on and comes off. The woven polypropylene is impervious to chlorine, resists mildew, and carries high tensile strength for its weight. Rain and snowmelt drain straight through the mesh, so you never haul a cover pump out in January, and spring removal is a quick fold instead of a two-person wrestling match.
Made to Order in Alabama
Tara Manufacturing has been family owned and operated in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama since 1984, and every safety cover is cut and sewn there when you order it. Your cover is built to your pool's exact size and step configuration rather than pulled off a warehouse shelf, with solid brass anchors, 302 grade stainless steel springs, an installation rod, and a storage bag packed in the box. Family craftsmanship backed by a 15 year warranty, with the first 2 years covered in full.
Who It's For
Rectangular In-Ground Pools
Built for standard rectangle pools from 12' x 20' up to 20' x 50', anchored into the surrounding concrete deck on a 5' x 5' strap grid.
Pools with End Steps
Choose the center, left flush, or right flush step version and Tara sews in a 4' x 8' step section that follows your pool's footprint instead of bridging over it.
Snow-Belt Winters
The taut mesh sheds leaves and lets snowmelt drain straight through, so the cover stays flat through freeze and thaw cycles instead of collecting a pond.
Homes with Kids and Pets
Anchored and tensioned, the cover is a taut physical barrier over the water for the months the pool sits unattended, tested to meet or exceed ASTM F1346.
Why PST Customers Pick This
ASTM F1346 Tested
Independently tested to meet or exceed ASTM F1346, the performance standard written for swimming pool safety covers.
Made in the USA
Cut and sewn to order by Tara Manufacturing in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama, family owned and operated since 1984.
Drains on Its Own
Rain and snowmelt pass straight through the woven polypropylene instead of ponding on top, so there is no cover pump to buy, power, or babysit.
Commercial-Grade Hardware
Solid brass concrete deck anchors, 302 grade stainless steel springs with protective covers, and stainless buckles shrug off winter after winter.
5' x 5' Double Webbing
Straps cross the cover every 5 feet in both directions, each double layered, with double perimeter webbing and box tack stitching at the stress points.
Complete Install Kit
Deck anchors, springs, strap hardware, an installation rod, and a storage bag for the swim season all ship in the box.
Anchor It Right
A safety cover only performs to ASTM F1346 when every strap is anchored and properly tensioned per Tara's instructions. Set all anchors in sound concrete, bring each spring to the specified tension, and recheck tension after installation and periodically through the winter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the no step, center step, left step, and right step versions?
The no step cover is a plain rectangle. The step versions add a sewn-in 4' x 8' step section at one end, positioned center, flush left, or flush right, so the cover follows your pool's actual footprint and anchors cleanly around the steps. Pick the version that matches where your pool's steps sit.
Which colors can I order?
Every size and step configuration comes in Blue, Green, Gray, or Tan mesh. Pick your color right on this page, construction, warranty, and price are identical across all four.
How do I size a safety cover for my pool?
Order by your pool's actual water dimensions, not by an existing cover's outer edge. Tara cuts the finished cover larger than a 20' x 50' pool so it overlaps the deck on all sides and anchors into the surrounding concrete. Because each cover is made to order, double-check your measurements before you buy.
Can I install a safety cover myself?
Yes, most pool owners handle it with basic tools. You drill anchor sockets into the concrete deck with a masonry bit, set the included brass anchors, and stretch each spring on with the included installation rod. A second set of hands makes the first fit easier. If your deck is pavers, wood, or stone, contact us before ordering to confirm the right anchoring approach.
Should I step up to the HD mesh or solid cover instead?
This Standard Mesh blocks 95% of sunlight at 4.7 oz, the lightest, easiest-handling cover Tara builds. The HD Heavy Duty Mesh moves to a denser 7.1 oz weave that blocks 99%, and the Solid cover blocks 100% and includes an automatic pump. If your pool fights spring algae or sits in heavy sun, the darker covers open cleaner; if easy on-and-off matters most, stay here.
Does rain or snowmelt collect on top of the cover?
No. Mesh drains water straight through into the pool, so there is nothing to pump off the surface. Leaves and debris stay on top where they dry out and blow or brush off.
What does the 15 year warranty cover?
Tara backs this cover with a 15 year warranty, first 2 years full and the remainder prorated. Keep your proof of purchase, and run any claim through PST Pool Supplies as your authorized Tara dealer.

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.
