SolidMesh pool covers are the newest addition to our lineup, and they exist to solve a tradeoff pool owners have been living with for decades. Solid covers deliver total protection but have always meant wrestling with heavy material twice a year. Mesh covers are light and easy to handle but let water and fine particulate through by design. SolidMesh pool covers close that gap. The patent pending material is engineered to perform like a solid safety cover while staying lightweight like a mesh cover, giving you complete sunlight blockage and superior debris protection without the handling burden that has traditionally come with solid construction. Just Pool Covers supplies SolidMesh custom manufactured to the exact shape and dimensions of your inground pool.

What the SolidMesh Pool Cover Delivers
This hybrid construction brings together the advantages that used to require choosing one or the other:
- 100% shade and sunlight blockage, removing the light algae needs to grow through months of closure.
- Lightweight construction, engineered to handle like mesh rather than traditional solid material.
- Superior debris protection, keeping leaves, needles, dirt, and fine organic matter out of the water.
- Cleaner spring openings, which is the payoff for everything above.
- Exceptional strength and durability built into the material.
- Easier handling than traditional solid covers, at installation, removal, folding, and storage.
- Patent pending technology, newly available and unlike anything else in the category.
Please note that a pump or mesh drain panel is required with SolidMesh, the same as with a traditional solid safety cover.

The Tradeoff SolidMesh Pool Covers Finally Resolve
Anyone who has shopped for a safety cover has run into the same fork in the road. Go solid and you get complete protection, the cleanest possible water at opening, and total light blockage, but you accept heavy material that takes real effort to move on and off the pool each season. Go mesh and you get a cover that drains itself and handles easily, but you accept that rain, snowmelt, and fine sediment will pass into the pool over four or five months of closure.
Neither answer is wrong, but both ask you to give something up. SolidMesh was developed specifically to stop asking. The material is designed to work like a solid safety cover, delivering the same complete barrier to sunlight and the same superior debris protection, while being built light enough to handle the way a mesh cover does. For pool owners who wanted solid performance but were deterred by the weight, this is the product that removes the objection.
The one thing SolidMesh shares with traditional solid covers is drainage. Because the material blocks water rather than filtering it through, surface water has to be managed with either an automatic pump or a mesh drain panel, exactly as it would be with a conventional solid safety cover.
How SolidMesh Pool Covers Change Your Spring Opening
The clearest way to judge a pool cover is to look at the water on the day you take it off. Everything else is specification talk until that moment.
Sunlight is the first factor. Algae needs light, and any cover that transmits light is feeding growth for months at a stretch. SolidMesh blocks 100% of sunlight, which eliminates that variable entirely. There is no percentage to weigh and no partial transmission working against you all winter.
Debris is the second. Leaves, pine needles, seed pods, windblown grit, and fine organic sediment accumulate relentlessly through fall and winter. Mesh covers filter at a particle threshold, which means the finest material still makes its way through and settles on the pool floor. SolidMesh provides superior debris protection by stopping that material at the surface instead.
Put those together and the result is a cleaner spring opening, which is not just a nicer thing to look at. It means less shock, fewer chemicals, shorter filter run times, and considerably less labor between pulling the cover and swimming in the pool.
Setting Up Drainage on a SolidMesh Pool Cover
Because SolidMesh functions as a solid cover, water collects on the surface and needs somewhere to go. You have two options, and the choice is worth thinking through.
An automatic pump rests on the cover and clears standing water on its own as it accumulates. It requires no attention from you after a storm and no presence at the property, which makes it the natural fit for owners who travel, who close a seasonal property, or who simply want the cover to take care of itself.
A mesh drain panel integrates a filtered drainage section into the cover, allowing water to pass through into the pool while the rest of the cover remains a complete barrier. There is no equipment to maintain, nothing to power, and nothing to store at season's end. Water does enter the pool through the panel, so your level will rise somewhat over the off-season, but drainage happens passively without any involvement from you.
Our team will walk through your rainfall, snow load, and how often you are at the property during the off-season before you settle on one.
Who Should Consider a SolidMesh Pool Cover
SolidMesh is built for a specific set of priorities, and it is an especially strong match for:
- Owners who want solid cover protection without solid cover weight. This is the reason the material exists.
- Anyone who has struggled physically with a heavy cover. Easier handling makes twice-yearly installation and removal genuinely more manageable.
- Pools surrounded by mature trees. Superior debris protection outperforms filtration when your yard produces significant organic material.
- Homeowners with a history of spring algae. Complete sunlight blockage removes the condition algae depends on.
- Pool owners who want the shortest possible opening. Cleaner water at cover-off means less work before the first swim.
- Anyone drawn to newer technology. This is a patent pending construction that did not exist as an option until recently.
Why Just Pool Covers Is the Place to Buy It
Just Pool Covers does one thing and does it deliberately. Covers are not a line item in a broad pool catalog for us, they are the whole business, and our team brings more than 25 years of pool industry experience to every conversation we have. That specialization is the difference between being handed a product and being fitted with the correct one.
Our team is recognized for guidance that is honest and specific. If SolidMesh is the right match for your pool, your property, and how you actually use it, we will explain exactly why. If a traditional mesh or solid construction would serve you better given your trees, your climate, or how you handle seasonal maintenance, we will point you there instead. We are experts in how each of these covers performs across many seasons in the real world, and that perspective is the most valuable thing we offer. Personalized service, prompt turnaround, and competitive pricing round out a purchase you can feel confident about.
What You Receive With Your SolidMesh Pool Cover
Every SolidMesh pool cover is custom manufactured to the specific measurements and geometry of your pool. Rectangular pools, freeform designs, kidney shapes, L-shapes, Roman ends, and pools with raised walls, spillovers, or unusual angles are all accommodated, because the cover is built for your pool instead of adapted to it. Fit is not a cosmetic issue. A cover made to correct dimensions sits under proper, even tension across its whole surface, and even tension is what allows the material to perform as engineered season after season.
Your order includes the custom-fabricated SolidMesh cover, the anchoring hardware system that secures it, and your choice of automatic pump or mesh drain panel for drainage. Our team confirms your dimensions, pool features, and drainage preference with you before anything goes into production.
The Ongoing Value of a SolidMesh Pool Cover
A well-chosen cover keeps returning value long past the day you buy it. Water that stays clean and light-free through the off-season means less shock, fewer chemicals, and a shorter path from cover-off to swimming. Keeping debris and fine organic material out of the pool reduces strain on your filtration equipment, which helps extend the working life of components that cost real money to replace. Covering the pool while it sits unused also limits evaporation, meaning less water and less makeup chemistry over the course of a year.
Then there is the part that does not show up on a receipt. Handling the cover twice a year is a task most pool owners quietly dread, and a lighter cover changes that experience meaningfully. Closing and opening stop being something you put off and start being something you just get done.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes SolidMesh different from a regular mesh or solid safety cover?
SolidMesh is a hybrid material designed to eliminate the compromise that has always defined this decision. Traditional solid covers give you a complete barrier to sunlight and debris, which produces excellent water quality at opening, but the material is heavy and handling it twice a year is genuinely demanding. Traditional mesh covers are light and drain on their own, which makes them easy to live with, but they allow water and fine particulate into the pool over months of closure. SolidMesh pool covers are engineered to work like a solid safety cover while being lightweight like a mesh cover, delivering 100% sunlight blockage and superior debris protection with handling that is substantially easier than conventional solid material. It is a patent pending construction, meaning this combination was not available to pool owners until recently.
Do I still need a pump or drain panel with a SolidMesh pool cover?
Yes. Because SolidMesh functions as a solid cover and blocks water rather than filtering it through, rain and snowmelt collect on the surface and need a way off. A pump or mesh drain panel is required, exactly as it would be with a traditional solid safety cover. The automatic pump option sits on the cover and clears standing water on its own as it accumulates, requiring nothing from you and no presence at the property, which suits owners who travel or close a seasonal home. The mesh drain panel builds a filtered drainage section into the cover so water passes through into the pool while the rest of the cover remains a complete barrier, with no equipment to maintain or store. Our team will help you decide based on your climate, typical rainfall and snow load, and how hands-on you want to be.
Will a SolidMesh cover prevent algae in my pool over the winter?
Algae depends on light to grow, and SolidMesh pool covers block 100% of sunlight from reaching the water beneath. That removes the primary condition algae needs during the months your pool sits closed, which is why complete shade coverage is such a significant feature rather than a marketing detail. The cover's superior debris protection compounds the effect, since organic material entering the water is what feeds growth and clouds clarity. Pool owners who have dealt with recurring green or stained water at opening usually see a meaningful difference when they move to a cover with total light blockage. Water chemistry going into the off-season still matters, so the best spring results come from pairing a SolidMesh cover with a proper closing routine.
How much easier is a SolidMesh cover to handle than a solid cover?
Weight is the reason many pool owners rule out solid covers before they seriously consider them, and it is the specific problem SolidMesh was developed to address. The material is engineered for lightweight construction that handles like a mesh cover, which makes installation, removal, folding, and off-season storage considerably more manageable than traditional solid material of the same footprint. That said, a cover for a large pool is still a large piece of material, and most owners find the process goes best with a second person helping regardless of what the cover is made from. If the physical demand of handling a solid cover has been holding you back, SolidMesh is worth a serious look, since it delivers solid cover performance without asking you to accept solid cover weight.
Can SolidMesh pool covers be made for freeform or irregularly shaped pools?
Yes. SolidMesh pool covers are custom manufactured to the exact dimensions and geometry of your pool, so freeform designs, kidney shapes, L-shapes, Roman ends, and pools with raised walls, spa spillovers, waterfalls, or unusual angles are all accommodated. A precise fit matters well beyond appearance, because a cover built to correct measurements sits under even tension across its entire surface, which is how the material is engineered to perform and a major factor in how many seasons it holds up. Covers that are stretched to fit a pool they were not made for carry uneven stress that accelerates wear at seams and anchor points. Our team goes through your pool's measurements and features with you before fabrication begins so the finished SolidMesh cover matches your pool exactly.
