Save time and energy on maintenance whenever you are ready to open up again as your pool will be free from debris. FULLY COVER YOUR POOL: The HPI Yard Guard Skirted Winter Cover comes with 2 ft. of overlap allowing for a secure installation. This additional material is used to compensate for lower water levels, use of an air pillow and the swimming pools top rails. Secure this cover to your swimming pool with clips screwed in an upright position on your pools vertical beams and run the cable through the cover and each clip. Includes a vinyl coated cable, winch, clips and screws. DRAIN THE RAIN: Winter covers are designed to protect your swimming pool against rain, snow and high winds. It is highly-recommended that all excess water be removed from atop the cover during the off-season. This will elongate the longevity of the material and can be accomplished with use of a cover pump or siphon. DESIGNED TO DEFEND: Close your swimming pool confidently with double stitched and triple thick hems using UV resistant nylon threads that are used to withstand the sun. This lightweight cover has 8x8 scrim per square inch. WINTER IS COMING: The installation of a winter cover will likely require some assistance from friends, family or a friendly neighbor. In advance of seeking help, the water level should be lowered beneath the skimmer, winter plug inserted and the water winterized with closing chemicals.
