Safety pool Covers - Mesh and Solid

Safety Pool Covers for 20x44 foot Rectangle Pools

Welcome to our selection of high-quality Safety Pool Covers specifically engineered for 20ft x 44ft Rectangle Pools. These covers provide the most crucial barrier of protection against accidental drowning, a significant risk for children and pets.

Find swimming pool safety covers we offer in different material types, including Mesh and Solid covers, and a range of warranties and specifications that will fit your needs. We stock covers for these standard rectangle pool shapes as well as those designed for common step configurations, such as Left Step, Right Step, and Center End Step (CES) sections. All safety covers listed are designed with approximately a 1-foot overlap on all sides (making the cover dimensions 2 feet larger than the pool size, e.g., an 18ft x 34ft cover for a 16ft x 32ft pool). They secure tightly using durable straps connected to recessed brass anchors (standard for concrete decks), with specialized stainless steel springs. Anchors for wood decks anchor tubes are available lawns and loose pavers. Safety covers generally require at least 3 feet of decking all around the pool to anchor the straps effectively.

Safety & Compliance: ASTM F1346-91 Standard

Protecting children from drowning or becoming submerged in a backyard swimming pool requires more than just a single safety device or barrier. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F1346-91 standard requires that a pool cover be able to hold a minimum of 485 pounds per five square feet in order to qualify as a safety cover. This rigorous standard ensures your cover is strong enough to support the weight of a person. Please note that solar pool covers and standard winter pool covers are not safety covers.

Swimming Pool Safety

Mesh Safety Swimming Pool Covers

Mesh safety pool covers are designed for long-term use, such as when closing a pool for winter. Mesh safety pool covers require little maintenance because debris that lands on them blows off the top, and rain and snow drain through the mesh panels; however, with the screen-like material of mesh, some silt and dirt may get through the webbing. On the other hand, because puddles cannot accumulate on the surface, having a mesh-style safety pool cover eliminates the risk of toddlers or pets unexpectedly coming in contact with shallow water.

Solid Safety Swimming Pool Covers

Solid safety pool covers work similarly to mesh covers in that they can be secured to a deck by anchors. Solid safety pool covers may not be best for use in areas that receive heavy rain or snowfall. Unlike mesh covers that allow water to drain through the cover, precipitation can accumulate on a solid cover, creating a puddle of water over the pool. The collected water may tend to sag the cover and present a hazard to any small children or pets who, if unsupervised, wander onto to pool cover. To combat this problem, some manufacturers incorporate drain panels into solid vinyl covers. Small cover pumps that automatically pump water off the cover as soon as it is detected may also be used.
