The GLI Difference.

WHY BUY GLI?

From our family to yours, you can trust that every safety cover is built to ASTM Standards, with superior craftsmanship and industry-best shipping lead times.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ASTM STANDARDS
ASTM, the American Society for Testing and Materials, is an internationally recognized organization that develops technical standards for various materials, products, systems, and services.

Safety Starts Here!

WINTER COVER VS SAFETY COVER
Your standard Winter Cover is no more than a tarp held down with water tubes, providing little to no protection from the accidental intrusion of children or stray animals.
A GLI Safety Cover is a safe solution for any homeowner. Not only will your backyard look great, but installation is easy and the “Peace of Mind” that you will carry throughout the winter months is well worth the investment.

BEFORE
 Standard Winter Cover in spring before pool opening.

Secure-A-Pool® Mesh Safety Cover

If you open early in the spring, don’t have large amounts of leaves and debris in your yard, or you don’t fully winterize your pool but need the security of a safety cover – this is the cover for you!

• New and improved – increased weave count for added strength & shading.
• Lightweight Polypropylene Mesh for easy installation and removal.
• Mesh material eliminates standing water hazards by allowing water and melting snow to drain through.
• Screens out dirt and debris for easy springtime opening.
• The tamper-proof design prevents entry without installation rod – installs and removes in minutes.
• Improves the look of your pool in the off-season.
• Secures pool from children, pets, and stray animals.
• 12-Year Limited Warranty.
• Meets or exceeds ASTM standards – as set forth in ASTM F 1346-91.

Solutions Provided 

• GLI has the solution for everything. With standard pools being a thing of the past, GLI has crafted solutions like wall mount anchors to make covering even the oddest shapes and edges possible.
• SECURE-A-GAP™ (shown above) provides your cover with the perfect fit around protruding pool elements such as rock features and waterfalls without the loss of security that your safety cover provides.

Application Innovation

REDUCED DECK MOUNT SYSTEM – Limited deck space available? GLI’s Reduced Deck Mount System (RDM) utilizes a patented design that allows for the use of full-sized springs to provide proper tension to your safety cover. Our RDM system is another addition to our vast portfolio of safety cover applications to fit your custom needs.	SECURE-A-GAP – Every raised wall application comes complete with stainless steel cable, turnbuckle, and cable mate wall anchors to aid in the installation and removal of your Safety Cover.
CUSTOM WEDGES – Steps and other features can leave exposed areas under the Safety Cover that can be accessible to debris and accidental intrusion. For these applications, GLI can provide custom wedges that will fit into place under the cover and provide an additional barrier of protection.	All GLI safety covers are constructed with heavy-duty polypropylene webbing and UV-treated polyester thread to create the strongest safety covers in the marketplace. Strong enough to support the accidental intrusion of a child (shown above), stray animal, or even a large car (see cover).

Solid Cover Drain Options

• SURE-FLO™ FULL LENGTH DRAIN – The Sure-Flo™ drain is created using ProMesh fabric that runs the full length of the pool, down the center of the cover, increasing the surface drainage area while blocking sunlight, dirt, and debris from getting into your pool. The “Sure-Flo” drain option is ideal for custom shape pools or larger rectangles.

• KLEEN-SCREEN® DRAIN- The patented Kleen-Screen® drain filters dirt particles (as small as talcum powder) and still allows water to drain through, ensuring a safe pool in the off-season and a CLEAN pool on opening day! Comes standard with Solid Safety Covers.

PUMP AVAILABLE

• Prefer a pump in lieu of a drain? GLI offers pumps as an alternative to our Sure-Flo™ & Kleen-Screen® Drain systems.

Material Specifications

HYPERLITE SOLID: 11 oz/yd² knife coated vinyl built with an exotic and high-performance formula that is designed to provide maximum tear strength and excellent resistance to abrasion, chlorine, aging due to UV exposure, and mildew/fungus. This maximum strength fabric features a woven ripstop scrim, and due to its composite construction, maintains a lighter weight than conventional laminate solid fabrics.
PRO MESH: Our exclusive polypropylene-extruded double-layer weave mesh material has been designed to provide maximum shade and high water flow. This proprietary material has greater tear strength, abrasion resistance, and burst strength, than standard mesh materials. Monofilament in the warp and a combination of mono/fibrillated tape in the fill direction enhance the UV properties of this material which weigh 6.5 oz. per square yard and achieves nearly 100% sunlight blockage.
SECURE-A-POOL MESH: GLI’s Secure-A-Pool mesh is constructed utilizing a monofilament fabric that is extruded using virgin resins along with yarns with the highest grade UV stabilization packages available. This time-tested fabric has been engineered to deliver high tensile and abrasion resistance properties for years of trouble-free protection.
WEBBING: 1” wide black polypropylene webbing with a minimum break strength of 2,400 points per single layer. The entire perimeter, 24” underneath, and every tail coming off of the cover’s edge utilizes double reinforced webbing for maximum strength, safety, and abrasion resistance.
CHAFING STRAPS: 1” wide by 24” long, GLI’s chafing straps are made of 100% PVC material and are sewn onto the underside of every Safety Cover strap. Each location is specifically chosen to aid in the protection and longevity of the cover.
THREAD: Dibond is a bonded, twisted continuous filament polyester thread. Combining superior sewing performance with excellent UV and abrasion protection, Dibond is specifically designed to provide resistance against harsh weather making it an excellent thread for outdoor use. GLI uses black thread exclusively due to its inherent resistance to UV rays, and triple stitches every panel joint for maximum strength.
STANDARD & COMMERCIAL SPRINGS: 304 Stainless Steel dual drawbar compression type spring, designed with a special taper at both ends to help keep the cover and spring flush with the deck surface. GLI’s special knurled D-ring attachment eliminates the need for a “buckle” attachment and greatly reduces webbing slippage. Every spring includes a vinyl protector with a patented pin-lock design to prevent them from falling off the spring during installation/removal. Commercial grade springs utilize a 25% larger wire for increased load capacities.
ASTM: All of GLI’s Safety Covers meet or exceed the standards set forth in ASTM F 1346-91 for commercial and residential installations.

Hardware & Accessories

TAMPING PINS REINVENTED – Both the Paver Tube Tamping Pin & Wall Anchor Tamping Pin are steel-constructed, making them less likely to bend or deform. They are specifically designed to meet the requirements of their intended applications eliminating accidents, damage, and unnecessary installation methods.	STRAP HOLD DOWN COLLAR – Designed for elevated spa and deck applications, this collar is used to divert the strap from a vertical orientation to a horizontal direction. This diversion eliminates the need for longer tails that angle down to the main deck level, reducing tripping hazards.
Small (5”) D-Ring Spring, the Standard (8”) D-Ring Spring, and HD (Heavy Duty) D-Ring Spring – each spring is made from sturdy, stainless steel. The attached D-Ring makes for easy adjustments and is used to secure the Safety Cover straps to the anchoring system.	Tired of Losing Your Spring Covers – All GLI springs come with GLI’s locking toggle to prevent the spring cover from slipping off during cover application and removal.
Cover Doctors Patch Kits – Quick At-Home Application Safety Cover Patch Kits are designed to cover holes and tears smaller than 3”. Each kit comes with one 8.5” x 11” self-adhesive sheet for easy application and do-it-yourself sizing.	MARELLI SPRING PROTECTOR – Tired of spring protectors falling off? GLI has the solution for that. The Patented  Patent # 9,027,174) Marelli spring protector ensures that your springs are protected during the off-season, and won’t fall off when the cover is removed. Replace those lost spring protectors with the Marelli, you will not regret it.
2” Brass Anchors – Ideal for resurfaced decks that need longer anchors and are available in place of standard anchors.	9” Paver Tubes & 18” Lawn Tubes – The 9” Paver Tubes are ideal for loose-fitting patio pavers, while the 18” Lawn Tubes ensure your Safety Cover is an ASTM Certified installation when decking is not available. Both come with the brass anchor pre-installed.
