VEVOR Inground Pool Safety Cover
Best value — The value shock of the category. VEVOR's anchored, spring-tensioned mesh cover installs into brass deck anchors and holds weight like the premium brands — owners who've owned a Loop-Loc say the material is near-identical — but it costs a fraction ($244 for a 14×28 on Amazon on 6 November 2026 and $463 for an 18×40 on 31 October, against $1,700+), carries a 15-year warranty, includes the hardware, and drains through so there's no cover pump. It rates 4.2★ across 454 ratings, with no Vine reviews in the visible cards. The one asterisk: VEVOR doesn't publish an ASTM F1346 certification, so it isn't verified to the safety-cover standard the certified brands carry.
Sold in 18 sizes on this listing — this page is the 18×36 ft. Check the size before you add to cart.
How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

Specs
| Type | Mesh cover (safety-style, anchored) |
| ASTM F1346 | Not published |
| Warranty | 15-year |
| Sizing | Standard rectangle (buy online) |
| Cover pump | No (mesh drains through) |
Pros
- 4.2★ across 454 ratings at a fraction of premium-brand money ($244 for the 14×28 on 6 November 2026, $463 for the 18×40 on 31 October)
- Owners who've replaced a Loop-Loc call the material near-identical; a pool-service pro couldn't tell it from covers costing thousands
- Real deck-anchored, spring-tensioned walk-on cover with hardware included; drains through, so no cover pump
Cons
- Not for you if you need the printed ASTM F1346 certification — VEVOR doesn't publish one, so for the certified guarantee buy the WaterWarden
- Owner-noted vs a Loop-Loc: straps a touch less beefy, 2 rows of stitching instead of 3 — long-term durability is less proven
- You still drill the deck anchors yourself (hammer drill, a few hours)
- Stock is thin: on 31 October 2026 the 18×36 and 20×40 were unavailable, the 16×32 had no buy box, and the 14×28 and 18×40 showed 4 and 1 left; on 6 November Amazon had 1 of the 14×28 left, and VEVOR's own store had it in stock
An owner FAILED A CITY INSPECTION with it, which turns our published caveat into a documented consequence: "Beware. Does Not Meet City Requirements — I purchased this cover for my brand-new swimming pool, only to find out that it does not have an ASTM cer[tification]." That is the exact gap this page already flags, now with an outcome attached. Then fit and hardware: "the cover absolutely does not have 2 feet of overlap. More like 2 inches"; "metal like clasp that you pull cover straps through comes off the spring, after storm cover came off"; "it doesn't fit our pool right and it is very flimsy. The steps don't fit right"; and an owner who counted — "all of the photos show quite a few more safety straps" than shipped.

“The cover material itself as far as I can tell is identical to the Loop Loc. The only differences I can tell are the straps may be a tad less 'beefy' and there's 2 rows of stitching vs 3 rows on the Loop Loc. Time will tell if this is a weakness in the future BUT, I saved $1400.”— Jesse, Amazon · Verified owner (switched from Loop-Loc)
