16 x 36 ft Inground Pool Winter Covers

A 16 x 36 ft inground pool takes a 21 x 41 ft or 22 x 42 ft cover. The extra is the overlap, 2.5 or 3 ft on every side, and it laps onto the deck where the water tubes hold it down. Every cover on this page is listed by the pool it fits, and the covers cut for a larger pool that still work here are under Also fits.

Inground winter cover questions

What size winter cover fits a 16 x 36 ft inground pool?

A 21 x 41 ft cover, or a 22 x 42 ft from the Cool Covers King line. The 21 x 41 leaves 2.5 ft of overlap on every side; the King leaves 3 ft.

How many water tubes does a 16 x 36 ft pool need?

16 tubes of 8 ft, or 13 of 10 ft. The 21 x 41 ft cover has a 124 ft edge, and the tubes go end to end around it.

Which covers cut for a bigger pool still work on a 16 x 36 ft pool?

Several, because the overlap only has to stay between 2.5 and 5 ft a side. A 23 x 41 ft cover leaves 3.5 ft on the sides and 2.5 ft on the ends. A 25 x 45 ft leaves 4.5 ft all round, and a 26 x 46 ft leaves the full 5 ft. They are listed under Also fits.

Does a bigger cover mean more water tubes?

Yes. The tubes weight the cover's edge, so a bigger cover is a longer run to fill. The 21 x 41 ft cover is 124 ft around; a 26 x 46 ft cover is 144 ft, which is two more 8 ft tubes.

Solid or mesh for a 16 x 36 ft pool?

Both are here. The solid covers keep light and fine dirt out, so the pool opens cleaner, and you pump the rain and snowmelt off the top. The mesh cover drains itself into the pool and leaves more work in spring.
