Winter Cover Problem

I have a 24 foot round swimming pool with a deck around it and I need to get a winter cover for it, how do I put the cover on?


Hi. You may be better off getting a cover made for an in ground pool. These covers would lay flat beyond your pool and onto your deck. You could then either weight it down with sand bags or possibly install hooks for it.

Unless you can pull the cover over the pool top rails, and down the outside, an above ground pool winter cover will probably not do you much good.

The companies that sell the pool covers also have a good selection of weights to hold the cover in place. Pumps are also available to drain the excess water off of them after a rain.

The photo below shows what seems to be a good idea for securing a winter cover to a deck on an above ground pool. Maybe something like this would work for you.
