When choosing between solid and mesh pool safety covers, it depends on what you are looking for to know which would be better suited for your pool. Mesh safety covers require little maintenance because debris that lands on them blows off the top, and rain and snow drain through the mesh panels. However, some silt and dirt may get through the webbing. Solid covers do not allow materials to enter the pool, but they may not be best for use in areas that receive heavy rain or snowfall. Unlike mesh covers that allow water to drain through the cover, precipitation can accumulate on a solid cover, creating a puddle of water over the pool. The collected water may tend to sag the cover and present a hazard to any small children or pets who, if unsupervised, wander onto to pool cover.
