PoolTux King99 20 x 40 ft Mesh Safety Cover with Center Step, Blue, CSPTBMP20401

This King99 panel is ordered for a 20 x 40 ft rectangular inground pool with the step centered on one end. The fabric itself measures 22 x 42 ft, so a foot of material reaches the deck on each side once the straps are tensioned onto the anchors. The step panel is 8 ft across and comes 4 ft back at the water line; measure your own step both ways before you commit to it.

• Blue mesh listed at 7 oz with a burst strength of 670 PSI.
• Rain and melting snow drain through the weave into the pool rather than collecting on top.
• The weave holds back 99 percent of ultraviolet light, which slows algae over a closed season.
• A 5 by 5 ft strap grid pulls down through commercial springs for a tight set.
• Brass anchors sit flush with concrete or paver deck and wind up with a hex key.
• Anti rub strips protect webbing and coping where they meet.

ASTM F1346 is what makes this a safety cover rather than a winter cover. Section 7 loads a panel on a pool wider than 8 ft with 485 lb, put on as 210, 225 and 50 lb over one square foot each within a 3 ft radius, and section 7.3 asks for substantially all standing water to be gone half an hour after rain stops. A winter cover is an other cover under section 4 and is not a barrier at all. The label states which one you have, because section 8.12 requires it.
