HPI Armor Kote 12' Round Above Ground Winter Pool Cover, 4' Overlap, Tan/Blue | AK12R4

The HPI Armor Kote AK12R4 is a solid winter cover built to protect your 12' round above ground pool through the entire offseason. It is made from premium North American woven polyethylene, which runs about 30% lighter and up to 50% stronger than the typical imported covers you replace every couple of seasons. That combination means it stands up to snow load, wind, and falling debris while staying light enough to handle on your own each fall and spring.

The tan top is coated with a chemical-resistant polymer that shrugs off chlorine and chemical staining, so it keeps its clean look year after year, while the deep blue underside blocks sunlight to stop algae from taking hold in the water underneath. A full 4' of overlap tucks over wide top rails and the included cable and winch cinch it down tight against high winds. Backed by a 20-year warranty, the AK12R4 is built to be the last winter cover you buy for a long time.

Features

Made in North America: Armor Kote is manufactured from premium North American woven polyethylene rather than cheap imports, which is where its strength and long service life come from.

30% Lighter, 50% Stronger: The advanced coating produces a fabric up to 50% stronger yet 30% lighter than standard covers, so it resists tearing and punctures while staying easy to install in the fall and pull off in the spring.

Chemical-Resistant Tan Top: The tan surface is coated with a chemical-resistant polymer that resists chlorine staining, so the cover holds its appearance season after season.

Algae-Blocking Blue Underside: The deep blue underside blocks sunlight from reaching the water, which stops the light-fed algae growth and helps your pool open cleaner in spring.

Full 4' Overlap: The generous 4' of overlap material fits over wide above ground top rails and adds protection against snow, rain, debris, and wind working their way under the cover.

Cable and Winch Included: A heavy-duty cable and winch tightener come with the cover to lock it down around the pool, so there is no extra closing hardware to buy separately.

Reinforced Seams: Superior seam strength and durable hardware help the cover hold up to the pull of wind and the weight of winter without failing at the stitching.

Notes

Air Pillow Recommended: An air pillow is not included but is strongly recommended under a solid cover. It supports snow and rainwater toward the edges for easier removal and lets ice expand toward the center instead of pushing on your pool wall.

Plan for Water Removal: As a solid cover, it holds rain and melting snow on top all winter. A cover pump or siphon keeps standing water from pooling and stressing the fabric.
