Preventing water freezing in winter. See pics and explaination

Hi all. Ok I have no sidewalk on back side of my pool. So water can lay up against the shell and pavers. Also with a mesh cover water goes through and gets on mouth of skimmer tile which causes water to freeze and pose problem. So we are ttting to keep water off and just trying to be winter proactive. Do you think I will have a problem if I lay this membrane on the pavers with it overlapping and also lipped into pool to try and keep water off tile. Also I extended it out a foot or so beyond pavers into landscaping to keep water that goes through cover off pavers and try to keep that covered area dry. That make sense? Pretty much I don’t know if it will help but will it cause any problems with having a membrane over the coping like I have it in winter.

So again mesh cover goes ontop as usual at attaches to those spots u see in picture in rocks. Pretty much cover comes out as far as that black membrane.

I vac out skimmers throughout winter so they don’t fill and overflow into skimmer mouth bit water I assume dripping off cover still gets in there. I’m hoping the lip on membrane will push water coming off cover into pool.

It may not accomplish what you want it to accomplish...water can still get under through the overlap.

Using this under the cover should not cause a problem. Many of use use foam under mesh covers to protect the coping...so having something under the cover is not an issue.

Ok I was thinking about the seam. I overlapped a lot.

As long as I can’t hurt anything I’m going to give it a try.
