Winter is not kind to any sort of swimming pool, which is why owning a well-constructed pool cover is vital to preserving your above ground pool throughout the winter and all other periods during the year containing inclement weather.
On the Ground Pools website, you will find two types of protective pool covers: 8-12 Year Winter Covers, and 12-15 Year Safety Covers. The main difference between winter covers and safety covers are that safety covers are specifically designed to cover and protect pools built into the ground: winter covers are designed to protect above-ground pools. Each safety cover has numerous hooks running along the edges of the structure that connect to the pavement surrounding the pool. Winter covers, on the other hand, have elastic covering on its edges, allowing it to overlap the sides of the above ground pool with ease. While it is true that the 15-year warranty of the safety cover is enticing, it does you no good if you have an above ground pool, as the design is not currently compatible with the different pool shape. Remember: above ground pools require a winter cover, pools built into the ground require a safety cover. Make sure you remember the differences when buying pool protection!
Every pool cover found at Ground Pools is made from the same brand: “Arctic Armor”. Arctic Armor is made and constructed from the strongest materials and has the best long term value for protecting your above ground pool. The longest the warranty coverage, the stronger and more powerful the cover is. Any pool you have can have a custom pool cover designed to fit its shape and diameter.
