Swimming Pool Normal pool cover A pool cover is a large sheet of plastic made up of special material. Plastic meets the requirement of being a vapour barrier. But a large sheet of plastic that you get from the lumber store is probably not your best choice. It will be very difficult to handle and store, it tears easily, and sunlight will deteriorate it rapidly. You can use a sheet of plastic, but it will be very inconvenient and it will probably only last 1 to 2 seasons maximum. It's best to use a cover designed specifically for swimming pools. They're made of special materials, such as uv-stabilized polyethylene, polypropylene. They can be transparent or opaque. Covers can even be light or dark colored.
