Arctic Armor Rugged Mesh Winter Cover for 24' Round Above Ground Pools
Keeps debris out, lets rain drain through.
The Arctic Armor Rugged Mesh Winter Cover for 24' round above ground pools (MPN WC608, SKU PST-WC608) is a black woven polyethylene mesh cover that stops leaves, sticks and other debris on top while rain and melting snow drain through into the pool. It is cut to a 28' round size with a 4' overlap and includes a vinyl-coated cable and metal winch that hold it snug. Lightweight to handle and store, it is backed by an 8-year limited warranty with the first year unconditional on fabric and workmanship.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Rain and Snowmelt Drain Through
Rain and melting snow that land on the cover slowly drain through the mesh into the pool.
Holds Back Leaves and Debris
The woven mesh stops leaves, sticks and other debris on top of the cover, so they stay out of the water while the pool is closed.
Light to Handle and Store
Made from woven, laminated polyethylene strands, the cover stays lightweight, so it is easy to take off in spring and store until next season.
Reinforced Hems
The hems are double-stitched and triple reinforced for added strength around the edge of the cover.
Cable and Winch Included
Metal grommets are spaced every 2 feet. Thread the vinyl-coated cable through them and tighten it with the metal winch so the cover sits snug along the pool wall.
Sized to Your Pool
Cut for a 24' round pool with a 4' overlap, and sized for water lowered up to about 12 inches below the top of the pool.
Not a Safety Cover
Rugged Mesh is a winter cover, made to protect your pool from the elements while it is not in use. It is not a mesh safety cover. Stay off the cover at all times, and never leave children or pets unsupervised near the pool, covered or uncovered.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What size mesh cover do I need?
Order by pool size. This cover is for a 24' round above ground pool and is cut to a 28' round size, which includes the 4' overlap. It is sized for water lowered up to about 12 inches below the top of the pool; if you lower it more than that, order a larger size.
Mesh or solid: which winter cover should I choose?
A solid cover keeps rain and debris on top of the cover. Rugged Mesh lets rain and melting snow slowly drain through into the pool while it holds back leaves, sticks and other debris.
How do I install it?
With one or two helpers, tape over any sharp edges, then center the cover so the overlap is even all the way around. Let it rest on the water and hug the pool wall without stretching it. Thread the cable through the grommets, run both ends into the winch and turn the handle clockwise until the cover is snug along the wall. Do not pump water off the cover in the fall; per the installation guide it slowly drains through the mesh.
What does the 8-year warranty cover?
Year 1 is unconditional on fabric and workmanship. From year 2 through year 8, material degradation earns a pro-rated credit toward the purchase of a new cover. A receipt is required, and you pay handling and shipping on the replacement. Improper installation voids coverage, including an off-center cover or hold-down devices that did not come with the cover. The warranty does not cover damage from wind, snow or heavy rain, or wear at unpadded sharp spots on the top rail.
Isn't a mesh winter cover the same as a mesh safety cover?
No. Rugged Mesh is a winter cover that rests on the water and is held with a cable and winch, and its warranty card states it is not designed or intended as a safety cover. Keep everyone off the cover at all times.
