2 thoughts on “Swimming Pool Winter Covers

  1. I have a free form pool with in ground anchors at varying places around the pool. Is it possible to do a large rectangle cover or do I need to do the point A/B measuring for custom covers?

  2. If you get a cover larger than your pool, as you suggest, how do you anchor it down?

    I have a 25′ round above ground pool–with a permanent deck around about a third of the perimeter. The deck prevents me from attaching the cover around the pool exterior using the “typical” round pool method. Last winter (my first attempt using a winter cover), I used the “typical” round pool method for most of the perimeter–but then tried to anchor the cover over the deck using bungee cords across the deck surface. The result was that the wind blew under the deck, under the cover, and lifted the cover like a sail, with enough force that it ripped out the cover’s grommets. How do I prevent this from happening again? Or do I simply have a configuration which isn’t really pool cover-compatible?
