Shop Affordable Pool Covers

Factory Buys stocks a wide range of cheap pool covers suited to above ground swimming pools across a variety of sizes and micron ratings. The collection includes solar blankets, isothermal pool covers, and pool cover and roller combo sets, giving you practical options whether you need a cover only or a complete rolling system. Covers are available in 400 micron and 500 micron thickness options across blue and silver finishes, with dimensions ranging from compact backyard pool sizes through to larger installations. Browse the full pools and accessories range for everything pool related, keep your pool clean with a pool cleaner, or explore the broader pool accessories collection for additional pool maintenance products. Customers consistently praise the quality, value for money, and fast delivery across the Factory Buys range.

What types of pool covers are available

The pool covers collection includes two main product types. Pool covers and solar blankets are sold as standalone items, designed to be placed over the pool surface and removed manually or with a separate roller. Pool cover and roller combo sets include both the blanket and a wheeled roller frame, making it easier to deploy and store the cover without folding it each time.

Solar blankets in this range use a bubble wrap style surface designed to help retain heat and reduce evaporation. Isothermal blankets offer an alternative construction for a different level of insulation. Check each product listing for the specific construction details and confirm the cover type suits your pool and storage setup before purchasing.

Choosing the right size pool cover

Sizing is the most important consideration when buying a cheap pool cover. Pool covers in this range come in a wide variety of dimensions, so measuring your pool accurately before browsing is essential. The dimensions listed on each product are the cover dimensions, not the pool dimensions, so allow for some overlap around the pool edge when selecting a size.

If your pool size falls between two available cover sizes, choosing the larger option gives you more flexibility to trim the cover to fit if needed. Confirm the exact cover dimensions on the product listing before adding to cart. Above ground pools in the Factory Buys range come with stated dimensions that can help you cross-reference the right cover size if you are buying a pool and cover together.

Understanding micron ratings

Pool covers in this range are available in 400 micron and 500 micron thickness options. A higher micron rating generally indicates a thicker, more durable cover that may offer better longevity under regular use and UV exposure. Both ratings are suited to residential above ground pool use, so the choice often comes down to budget and how frequently the cover will be deployed and removed.

Check the product listing for any stated UV rating or warranty information relevant to the cover material, as these details vary across the range.

Pool covers and rollers

Several listings in this range include a roller frame alongside the cover blanket. A roller allows you to wind the cover up neatly rather than folding it, which reduces wear on the material over time and makes daily use more practical. Roller combo sets vary in wheel size and frame dimensions, so confirm the roller width suits your pool edge before purchasing.

For shoppers building out a complete pool setup, Bestway pools and the broader Bestway products range cover pools, pumps, and accessories across a range of sizes. Bestway inflatables are worth exploring for smaller inflatable pool options, and pet swimming pools are available for households with dogs or smaller animals that need their own pool setup.

What type of pool cover suits your pool best: solar blanket, isothermal, or roller combo?

Solar blankets use a bubble wrap style surface designed to retain heat and slow evaporation, and are placed directly on the water. Isothermal covers offer an alternative construction for a different level of insulation. Roller combo sets include both the blanket and a wheeled frame, making them easier to deploy and store without folding the cover each time. Check the product listing for the specific construction details that suit your pool setup.

What size pool cover should you measure for before buying?

Measure your pool's full length and width before browsing. The dimensions listed on each product are the cover dimensions, not the packaged size, so allow for some overlap around the pool edge. If your pool falls between two available sizes, the larger option gives more flexibility to trim the cover to fit. Confirm the exact cover dimensions on the product listing before ordering.

What micron rating should you choose, and how does it affect heat retention and durability?

Covers in this range come in different micron options, with a higher rating generally indicating a thicker, more durable cover that may offer better longevity under regular use and UV exposure. Both lighter and heavier options suit residential above ground pools, so the choice often comes down to budget and how frequently the cover will be used. Check the product listing for the micron rating and any warranty details relevant to the cover material.

Do pool covers come with a roller, and what should you check about storage and setup?

Some listings include a roller frame as part of a combo set, while others are sold as a standalone blanket only. A roller allows you to wind the cover on and off more easily rather than folding it by hand, which reduces wear over time. Check each product listing for what is included and confirm the roller width suits your pool edge before purchasing.
