When winterizing a pool, a mesh safety cover acts like a heavy-duty shield, but because it lets water through, it requires a specific winter care approach.
Why Mesh is Great for Winterizing
• Handles Heavy Snow Loads: The tight webbing combined with heavy-duty tension springs allows the cover to stretch tight and support massive snow piles without tearing or pulling up your pool deck anchors.
• No "Ice Slush" Pumping: With a solid cover, freezing rain and melting snow turn into a heavy, frozen swamp on top of your pool that you have to pump off. Mesh allows that water to drain right through, preventing ice accumulation on the surface.
• Easier Spring Handling: Because it doesn't hold water, the cover stays lightweight. When spring arrives, you can simply unhook the springs and roll it up without battling hundreds of pounds of trapped surface water.
