18 ft Round Above-Ground Pool Leaf Covers

I needed something to keep leaves and acorns off my trampoline; so I draped this over the top of the vertical poles on my trampoline, and - poof, now it's (mostly) junk proof. I have several maple and oak trees around my trampoline, so the kids would complain about landing on acorns and small twigs. I have a 15' round trampoline, so - this is excessively large for that purpose - it hangs down about 3 feet on all sides. Now a quick zap with the leaf blower clears off the trampoline super fast, vs the old broom and dustpan and 'chasing' those darn things around the jumping surface. If you've never tried to sweep up acorns from a surface that dips wherever you're standing, you just don't know how much fun THAT chore is. Even the kids got tired of that game, and were starting to not want to use the trampoline at all. Only the biggest of the kids that we have over hit their heads on it when getting big air - but they don't seem to mind. I have some thoughts of making a couple of arches out of pex or PVC to lift it more out of the way at some point; but for now, this works perfectly.

My above ground pool is set up under a large river birch tree so I can jump in any time of day without worrying about the sun. I keep this net over it any time I'm not in the pool and it has made a world of difference in the cleanliness of my pool and clarity of its water. The birch tree is very messy, plus I live in a location where we've had 95+ temps nearly all of July and so far in August, causing the tree to drop a lot of leaves. But the net catches them, plus small twigs, bugs, and other debris. It does not get everything, however. Tiny bits still get through the open weave of the net. The net is made up of about 1/4" size mesh, so some things do fall into the pool. But I don't mind that because they are easy to sweep up with my little pool vac. This net has made my pool 100% more enjoyable and easy to care for, despite being underneath the tree. I highly recommend it. (I ordered an 18' net to cover my 15' round pool so it would hang over the sides well. Hold it down with clamps when the wind blows. Piece of cake! Update - I made a dome from 6" pvc piping and lifted the net to create a dome. Secured to pool frame with zip ties. No more removing net each time I swim. Easy and works great.

The leaf cover went on very easily. I had no problem putting it on by myself. It is now doing its job of collecting leaves and we plan to take it off before the pool freezes and is covered with snow. I cannot, at this time, testify to its durability because we have not had it long enough but it looks like it is well made.

Appears to be very durable and well-made. Better than expected for the price. Lightweight And easy to handle. It floats within the top 1 inch of the water so wind does not blow it. If you have trees and leaves near your pool, this should save you a lot of time.

This really works very well, we leave it on from fall until spring. Have had it 2 years and still in good shape.

Excellent choice! After two disasters with a solid Intex cover that 1) got slimy, 2) dumped all the debris into the pool, and 3) ripped at the end of each season, we went for this lightweight leaf cover for our above-ground Intex pool. This cover is great! It's easy to use, and keeps most of the leaves and bugs out. The winch allows us to tighten or loosen the cable tension, which is helpful in securing the cover. The mesh is fine enough to keep most of the debris out--unlike the solid cover, which somehow meant that all debris ended up IN the pool when we were trying to take off the cover. Also, because this is mesh, it breathes and doesn't get funky or slimy. It's easy to slip over the pool--literally two minutes, max. Very happy with this purchase.

Not strong enough material

We just had our 12x18 above ground pool replaced. This meant it was open, with no winter cover, way earlier than usual and our neighbor's maple tree had yet to drop it's millions of helicopters. Knowing how many and how fast they've dropped in the past, I knew our skimmer would be clogging in minutes. I didn't see any of these nets on amazon for oval pools, so I picked up this one for an 18' round pool. It worked perfectly. We just used some spring clamps on it and added the winter clips when high winds were expected. It wasn't too difficult to remove, but was best done with 2 people to avoid debris floating off into the pool. Yes, smaller things do get through, but this kept our skimmer from getting clogged up. We'll also use it in the fall when leaves start dropping and over the winter cover until the leaves are done. So far, no issues with durability.

Way better than having to clean up mess in pool using a solid cover
