The GLI Difference.
WHY BUY GLI?
At GLI Pool Products, it is our mission to BRING FAMILIES TOGETHER and KEEP
THEM SAFE. A new safety cover is the first step to creating a safe backyard
during the off-season. 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. ASTM certifications are used
worldwide to ensure product quality and safety. Recognizing the importance of
these safety standards, all of GLI’s safety covers undergo rigorous testing
and compliance to ensure they are manufactured to meet or exceed ASTM F
1346-91.

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.

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.

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

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.
