How low will you be dropping your water level for winter? If you plan to drop your pool water more than a foot, add that distance to your overall length and width measurements.
**A good rule of thumb is to compensate for your water level drop. Any measurement over a foot should be doubled.**For example, the water level is dropped 2 feet below its normal level in our 20'x40' rectangle pool. Therefore, the distance added to both the length and width would be 2 feet. So, we would be looking for a cover meant o for at least a 22'x42' pool.
Another example, the water level is dropped 3 feet; that is 52 feet more than the standard 1-foot. To compensate for the level drop, 4-feet should be added to both length and width. The necessary cover for this example would need to be recommended for at least a 24'x44' pool.

Hello Eric - You'd want to go with a winter cover for a 20'x40' pool if your pool is 18'6"x38'.Reply
Eric Posted: 8/18/2018
my current pool cover is 18'6" by 38'. This does include the length of the center step. Is this the measurement I should order or should it be 18 x 34 plus the center step?Reply

Hello JD - Safety covers have to be specific to the size of the pool. Your pool would require a customer safety cover. If you send us a completed custom safety cover measuring form, we can send you a quote.Reply

Matt - I would figure that the 3' step extension adds 3' to your pool length, making it 43" long. The listed pool size closest to your extended pool dimensions is 20' x 44' which requires a 25' x 49' cover. See our "Swimming Pool Winter Covers" product page for our cover options.Reply

Anna - You will need a 30' x 50' winter pool cover for your 25' x 44' pool. See our "Swimming Pool Winter Covers" product page for our cover options.Reply

My pool is 20' x 40' with a 3 ft. step extension centered on the 20' width (adds 3 ft to the 40' length). What size pool cover do you recommend?Reply

Kathy - According to Step #3 of this guide, you ordered correctly. If your steps are on the right side when standing in the shallow end, you needed a right cover. If you ordered from us, give one of our service reps a call at 888-367-3082 and we will correct your order.Reply

Pool is 18 wide by 36 long. When standing at shallow end steps are on the right hand side of the shallow end. I ordered a right hand step cover and it isn't correct. Should this be a left had cover?Reply
