    New Construction (fiberglass) - Chicago, city proper

    Thanks for all the details and photos. I am dreaming of installing a fiberglass inbound pool at some point. This has been very informational.

    How tight should solid cover be?

    Yes you are correct. I meant to say rip or pull the cover off lol. I used home made bungee cards to secure it so it can flex as needed.

    Mesh or regular winter cover for Intex Ultra Frame?

    I am pretty sure I got it from the In The Swim Catalogue. It’s going on three years and it is holding up well.

    Few closing questions regarding what to remove

    I remove all hoses and take off the top of the sand filter and drain it and cover the opening and leave that out. I put the pump and top of the sand filter in my garage.

    Anyone Using a Mesh Winter Cover?

    Mesh or regular winter cover for Intex Ultra Frame?

    Wintertime pool care for AGP

    I tried a regular winter cover on my old pool and the amount of leaves that collected ripped it loose and that was the end of that pool.
