Pool Guard Pool Covers
Heavy duty three-ply solid PVC laminate, one inch heat welds, and American made hardware. Custom fabricated to your pool with a 10-year limited pro-rated warranty.
Pool Guard pool covers are built for owners who treat the safety of their family, friends, and pets as the first consideration and everything else as secondary. This is a solid safety cover in the most substantial sense of the term: a heavy duty three-ply solid supported PVC laminate engineered for the rigors of outdoor exposure, joined with a full one inch wide heat weld, and locked into your pool deck with American made brass anchors and custom rubber tension straps. The design rests on the pool water and virtually eliminates the entry of debris while covered. Just Pool Covers supplies Pool Guard in two material weights, custom fabricated to your pool using computer aided design and backed by a 10 year limited pro-rated warranty.

Pool Guard Pool Covers
Two Pool Guard Models to Match Your Pool
Pool Guard is offered in two material weights, and the difference between them is straightforward.
Pool Guard features a 15 oz. supported solid PVC material, available in blue, green, and gray. It delivers the full three-ply construction, the one inch heat weld, and the American made hardware system that define the line.
Pool Guard Plus steps up to an upgraded 18 oz. solid supported PVC material, also available in blue, green, and gray. The additional material weight adds substance to a cover that is already built heavy, which appeals to owners dealing with demanding conditions or simply wanting the most robust option in the line.
Both models are custom fabricated to your pool and share the same hardware, seam construction, and warranty coverage. Our team will help you weigh which weight makes sense for your specific situation.
Safety as the Starting Point, Not an Afterthought
There is a reason this cover is named the way it is. A pool sitting uncovered through the off-season is an open feature in your backyard for months at a time, and the people and animals most at risk around it are the ones least equipped to understand the risk. A properly specified, properly anchored solid safety cover addresses that directly.
Pool Guard covers are locked into the pool deck using brass anchors and custom rubber tension straps, which is what allows the cover to sit under real, sustained tension rather than simply lying across the surface. That anchoring system is the functional heart of a safety cover. Tension straps distribute load across the deck perimeter, and brass anchors hold that tension without corroding through seasons of exposure. American made hardware is specified throughout because the anchoring system is the last place you want a component to underperform.
For pools with raised spas, waterfalls, or other custom features, special hardware is available so the cover anchors correctly around those elements instead of leaving a gap where the geometry gets complicated.
Custom Fit Through Computer Aided Design
Every Pool Guard pool cover is custom made using computer aided design and manufacturing, paired with over 20 years of cover craftsmanship. That combination matters because a solid safety cover only performs as designed when it fits the pool precisely.
A cover built to correct measurements sits under even tension across its entire surface. Load from snow, standing water, and debris distributes the way the engineering intended, and the material and seams take stress evenly rather than concentrating it at a few points. A cover that is oversized, undersized, or approximated carries uneven tension, and uneven tension is what causes premature wear at seams, straps, and anchor points.
Freeform pools, kidney shapes, L-shapes, Roman ends, rectangles, and pools with raised walls, spillovers, and waterfalls are all accommodated. The design process is built to handle complicated geometry rather than work around it.
The Problems Pool Guard Pool Covers Solve
Debris is the most visible issue a solid cover addresses. Leaves, needles, seed pods, windblown grit, and fine organic sediment build up relentlessly through fall and winter. Mesh covers filter that material at a particle threshold, which means the finest debris still works its way into the water and settles on the pool floor over months. The three-ply solid PVC laminate in a Pool Guard cover virtually eliminates debris entry entirely, stopping it at the surface where it can be cleared instead of letting it accumulate below.
Sunlight is the second. Light reaching still water for four or five months is what turns a closed pool green, and solid PVC construction blocks it. Removing light removes the condition algae needs to establish itself while the pool sits unused.
Structural durability is the third, and it is where the construction details earn their keep. Covers fail at seams and anchor points far more often than they fail in the middle of a panel. The full one inch wide heat weld addresses seam integrity directly, and brass anchors with custom rubber tension straps handle the load transfer to the deck. Those are deliberate answers to the specific ways solid covers wear out.
Who Pool Guard Pool Covers Are Built For
This cover suits a particular set of priorities especially well:
- Households with young children or pets. Safety is the design premise, and the anchoring system reflects that.
- Owners who want debris kept out entirely. Solid PVC laminate goes further than filtration ever can.
- Pools with challenging features. Special hardware for raised spas, waterfalls, and custom elements means complicated pools get a correct cover.
- Anyone who wants the cleanest spring opening possible. Nothing enters the water for months, and the difference is obvious at cover-off.
- Owners in demanding climates. Three-ply construction, one inch heat welds, and brass hardware are specified for real weather.
- People replacing a cover that failed at the seams or anchors. Those are exactly the points this construction reinforces.
What Comes With Your Pool Guard Pool Cover
Your Pool Guard order includes the custom fabricated cover in your chosen model and color, the American made hardware system with brass anchors and custom rubber tension straps, and the 10 year limited pro-rated warranty. Special hardware for raised spas, waterfalls, and other pool features is available where your pool requires it.
Before fabrication begins, our team confirms your pool's dimensions, features, model preference, and color with you. Blue, green, and gray are available across both Pool Guard and Pool Guard Plus. Green tends to settle into surrounding landscaping, blue reads closest to the water it covers, and gray suits contemporary stone and concrete decking. All three carry identical performance specifications.
Because Pool Guard is a solid cover, water collects on the surface and needs to be managed. Our team will walk you through how that works for your setup so nothing about the arrangement is a surprise after the cover arrives.

The Long-Term Return on a Pool Guard Pool Cover
The value of a heavy duty solid cover compounds across the years you own it. Water that stays clean and undisturbed through the off-season means less shock, fewer chemicals, and a far shorter path from cover-off to first swim. Keeping debris and sediment out of the pool entirely reduces strain on your filtration equipment, which helps extend the working life of components that are expensive to replace. Limiting evaporation while the pool sits unused means less water and less makeup chemistry over the year.
The benefit that matters most to most Pool Guard owners, though, is not on that list. It is knowing that the pool in the backyard is covered, anchored, and secured through every month it is not in use, and not having to think twice about it every time the kids or the dog head outside.

FAQs About Pool Guard Covers
What is the difference between Pool Guard and Pool Guard Plus?
The distinction is material weight. Pool Guard covers feature a 15 oz. supported solid PVC material, while Pool Guard Plus covers step up to an upgraded 18 oz. solid supported PVC material. Both are built on the same heavy duty three-ply solid supported PVC laminate construction, both use the full one inch wide heat weld at the seams, both anchor with the same American made brass hardware and custom rubber tension straps, both are available in blue, green, and gray, and both carry the same 10 year limited pro-rated warranty. The heavier 18 oz. material in Pool Guard Plus adds substance to a cover that is already built for demanding conditions, which is why owners dealing with heavy snow load, significant tree cover, or simply wanting the most robust option in the line tend to gravitate toward it. Our team can walk through your specific conditions and help you decide which weight makes sense.
How does the Pool Guard anchoring system work?
Pool Guard covers are locked into your pool deck using American made hardware, specifically brass anchors set into the deck and custom rubber tension straps that connect the cover to those anchors. The tension straps are what allow the cover to sit under sustained, even tension rather than simply resting loosely over the pool, and that tension is what makes a safety cover function as designed. Load from snow, water, and debris distributes across the anchored perimeter instead of concentrating in one area. Brass is specified for the anchors because it holds up to years of moisture and weather exposure without the corrosion that would compromise the system over time. For pools with raised spas, waterfalls, or other custom features, special hardware is available so the cover anchors correctly around those elements rather than leaving the geometry unaddressed.
Will a Pool Guard cover fit a pool with a raised spa or waterfall?
Yes. Each Pool Guard cover is custom made using computer aided design and manufacturing combined with over 20 years of cover craftsmanship, which means unusual pool geometry is handled through the design process rather than worked around after the fact. Raised spas, waterfalls, and other special pool features are specifically accounted for, and special hardware is available for those applications so the cover anchors properly around them. This matters because the areas where a pool gets complicated are exactly the areas where an ill-fitting cover leaves gaps and uneven tension. Freeform designs, kidney shapes, L-shapes, Roman ends, and pools with raised walls are all accommodated as well. Our team reviews your pool's features in detail before anything is fabricated.
Why does the one inch heat weld matter on a solid pool cover?
Solid pool covers rarely fail in the open middle of a panel. They fail where pieces of material are joined together and where load transfers to the hardware, which makes seam construction one of the most important durability factors in the entire cover. Pool Guard covers feature a full one inch wide heat weld, meaning the seams are fused across a substantial width rather than a minimal one. That added weld width gives the seam more surface area to distribute stress from tension, snow load, and standing water, which directly addresses the most common point of failure in solid cover construction. Combined with the heavy duty three-ply solid supported PVC laminate and the American made brass anchoring hardware, the seam construction is a meaningful part of why this cover is built the way it is.
How well does a Pool Guard cover keep debris out of the pool?
Pool Guard covers are designed to virtually eliminate the entry of debris into your pool while covered, which is the defining advantage of solid PVC construction over mesh alternatives. Mesh covers filter debris at a specific particle size, meaning larger material is stopped while finer sediment, silt, and pollen continue passing through with every rainfall over months of closure. The heavy duty three-ply solid supported PVC laminate in a Pool Guard cover creates a barrier rather than a filter, so leaves, needles, seed pods, dirt, dust, and fine organic material stay on the surface where they can be cleared rather than settling into the water below. The practical result shows up at opening, when the water underneath is dramatically closer to how you left it and the work required before your first swim is substantially reduced.
