Above ground and inground solid pool covers are simply solid type covers that are draped across you pool. Most of them are secured by pool cover weights. These are tubes that you fill with water and weigh down and secure the edges of the cover. These are the least expensive to purchase, and have to be tended to and monitored over the winter season so water and snow doesn’t accumulate on top. If not monitored, the weight of the water or snow will weigh down the cover cause it to cave into the pool. This isn’t such an issue with above ground pools because the covers are easier to secure around the top than their inground siblings.

Are leaf net covers considered the same as mesh safety pool covers? Well they basically the same, only leaf net covers are a designed with a tighter woven scrim. They let water through, but keep leaves and most smaller debris out. That way water does not pool up and develop on top. You mostly see these types of covers on above ground pools.

Mesh safety pool covers are considered by many as the top of the line covers. They are designed tight woven scrim and allow water to pass through so you do not have pump any water off the top. They are secured at the edge with spring loaded buckles. They are the best way to secure pool covers, and have an added benefit that if someone falls onto the cover it will not allow the person and cover fall in. These type of pool covers because of their woven design are very strong and very rip resistant.

Solid safety pool covers are secured to you pool the same way as the mesh safety pool covers, just as you guessed it are solid in design.  They are made so no water or debris falls into the pool. These type of pool covers are great for areas with a lot of trees. This is the type of pool cover I have because I live in the woods, and when I uncover the pool in the spring time, my water is nice and clear with no dirt or debris in it.

So I hope this answers any questions on the different types of covers and what mesh safety pool covers are. Any of them will do a decent job for you.
