In about a week’s time many folks will take their last dip in the swimming pool for the 2010 swimming season… and that means most pool owners will soon need to take a trip out to the pool house or shed so they can get out their trusty ‘ole winter cover.
But… What if that trusty ‘ole winter cover has betrayed them by allowing a squirrel, mouse, chipmunk or dinosaur to put holes in it? Or worse yet, what if aliens from another planet used your winter cover to build a fort in the back of the shed and punched holes in it to make windows?

OK, so you survived another brutal winter w/o incident and you find yourself ready to enjoy some nice, warm Spring weather — but the cover on your pool didn’t fare quite as well. Apparently the neighbor’s dog, or a snow-crazed squirrel, ventured out onto the cover at some point, got scared, and ripped the cover in numerous places as it scampered hastily back to the side of the pool.
Lucky for you we compiled a list of replacement winter covers last Fall:
You can also find great selections of Winter covers at the following online swimming pool supply stores:
With the arrival of Fall, many pool owners have started thinking about closing their pools. Unfortunately for some, though, their Winter Cover from last year has seen its last days and they need a new one.
Why invest in a good winter cover? Simple: Keeping grass, leaves, debris, animals, wind blown trash, and dead bugs out of your pool water over the Winter means you will need fewer chemicals in the Spring and spend less time getting your pool back in shape for the swimming season.
Swimming pool covers come many different sizes, colors, thicknesses, and warranties.
Sizing: Buying too small a cover may result in water weight pulling the cover edge in — which means all leaves, bugs, and other debris will end up in your pool. A real mess!
Color: Many pool cover manufacturers color code their winter covers. Each color signifies a manufacturer’s cover grade and corresponding warranty.
Thickness: As a general rule, the thicker the cover the longer it will last and the longer the warranty it will come with. Increased winter cover thickness means increased cost.
Warranties: Pretty much all pool covers come with a warranty and the thicker the cover, the longer the warranty. Usually a longer warranty will mean a higher cost for the cover. Expect that a pool cover manufacturer will have a pro-rated warranty, not a full replacement policy.
