Robelle Heavy Duty Super Oval Pool Cover 18 x 24 ft — Winter Solid, 2.36 oz/yd² with Winch & Cable

Engineered for traditional above-ground pools with standard top rails, this Robelle Super Winter Pool Cover combines a dense 8 x 8 scrim with a 2.36 oz/yd² polyethylene fabric to deliver a rugged, long-lasting barrier for the off-season. The cover’s imperial blue surface and black underside visually identify the winter side and help with UV resistance; it ships with a winch and steel cable for perimeter fastening and includes four feet of overlap for simpler installation.

How does this cover keep my pool safe during winter?

The Robelle solid cover blocks sunlight and prevents rain and snow from passing through the material, reducing algae growth and minimizing evaporation. Its heavy scrim and thicker material resist tearing and stretching under winter loads.

• Solid, non-porous design keeps precipitation out of the pool water.
• 8 x 8 scrim weave strengthens the fabric against rips and wind stress.
• 2.36 oz/yd² polyethylene gives 18% greater weight than typical industry covers.
• Black underside and blue topside for easy orientation and UV performance.

Will this fit my 18 x 24 ft oval above-ground pool and how is it installed?

The cover is sized to fit 18 x 24 ft pools while providing a 4 ft overlap (total 22 x 28 ft), making drape and securing easier. Use the included winch and cable to thread through the perimeter grommets; for decks, water weights and routing the cable under the deck help create a snug closure.

• Designed to cover a pool with an added 4 ft overlap for easier installation.
• Included winch and cable secure cover through perimeter grommets.
• Use vinyl water weights on decks or wrap cable under deck where applicable.
• If your top rail is extra large, consider the next size up to avoid stress on the fabric.

How durable is this Robelle cover and what warranty does it have?

Durability comes from both material weight and scrim density; this cover is constructed about 18% heavier than typical alternatives. Robelle backs its heavy-duty covers with a 10-year warranty, reflecting over five decades of pool-cover experience.

• Heavy-duty polyethylene at 2.36 oz/yd² (approx. 80 g/m²).
• 8 x 8 scrim provides superior thread count per square inch for strength.
• Manufactured 18% heavier than standard covers for extended life.
• 10-year warranty from a brand with more than 50 years in the industry.

What accessories or additional steps improve performance?

The cover performs best when combined with recommended accessories and proper installation techniques that relieve stress and keep water off the cover surface. Robelle suggests optional items to protect decks and stabilize the cover through heavy winter weather.

• Use ice equalizer pillows (sold separately) to reduce ice expansion stress.
• Cover clips and cover wrap (sold separately) add extra securing options.
• For decked pools, employ vinyl water weights on top of the cover.
• Ensure the cover floats loosely on water — choose a larger size if rails are oversized.

Who is this for: Pool owners who close a traditional above-ground oval pool for winter and want a dependable, heavy-duty solid cover with simple installation hardware. This product suits people who prioritize tear resistance, a secure perimeter fastening system, and a long manufacturer warranty.
