Closing your above-ground pool for winter? This Robelle Dura-Guard solid cover is built to protect it. It's a heavy-duty polyethylene cover with an 8x8 scrim weave and weighs 2.36 oz/sq yd – that means it's strong and meant to last. The cover is solid, so it doesn't let water through; it just sits on top, and you'll need a pump to remove rainwater. Size note: it's made for a 24-foot round pool, but the actual cover is 28 feet wide. That extra 4 feet is the overlap, which gives you plenty of material to secure it over the top rail. It comes with a winch and cable to tighten it around the pool's perimeter using the grommets. Remember, it's designed to float loosely on the water during winter (an ice equalizer pillow is recommended and sold separately). It's not for summer use, just for winterizing. If your pool has a very large top rail, consider sizing up. A reliable, no-nonsense cover with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
