4 Things to Know About Pool Covers in Snowy Climates

Mesh covers handle snow better than solid ones Mesh covers let water drain through, so you only deal with snow you can brush off or let melt slowly.

Solid covers cause pooling and weight problems Snow melts on solid covers, water pools, and the extra weight can tear the cover or collapse it into the pool.

Solid covers require constant maintenance in winter You would need a pump running all winter and still risk ice damage.

Check the snow load rating Make sure the cover has a snow load rating that exceeds your local snowfall expectations.
