Description

Eliminate the mess caused by decaying leaves each spring. Install a dirt defender leaf net over your winter cover this fall and make spring opening quick and easy. The leaf net's tight mesh traps even the smallest leaves before they reach your winter cover. Other brands of leaf nets have larger mesh that allows small leaves to pass through to your winter cover and decompose in the spring. Simply lay the dirt defender leaf net on top of your winter cover when you close your pool and remove it before the first snow. Your cover will be virtually leaf free and spring clean-up will be a snap. Eliminates that messy swamp of decaying leaves. Above-ground leaf nets have an extra 3-feet overlap and include a cable and winch to hold it securely in place over your winter cover. Black mesh fabric.

  • Worked Fantastic For My 40’ X 30' Pond
Size: 45' x 25' (Rectangular)
I made a 40’ X 30’ pond in the back of our property this year so I could have water for my bees and the fruit trees and flowers we planted for them. However, the pond is surrounded by trees and leaves falling in the pond will add chemicals to the pond that will cause harm to the fish and other life in the pond. So, we ordered this net that is the perfect size and appears to be great quality. Very happy day one with this product. If anything changes I'll post an update. ... show more

  • Pleasantly Surprised
Size: 20' x 40' (Rectangular)
I am providing this for those looking to keep leaves out of their pool, particularly during fall winter. I has a 18x36 pool and used a relatively strong mesh cover during the winter months in middle TN. I have a solid cover that lays on the water of an unground pool. The mesh lays on top of that with air pillows between the two to keep the mesh above the cover. This aids in blowing leaves off of it. This cover comes in a rather small box. I was skeptical the mess would hold up as it is thinner than my previous one. This new one has been on my pool a couple of weeks (no cover yet). I run rope through the eyelets which are about 4-5 feet apart around the perimeter of the mesh cover. The rope loops over concrete brass hold downs for the cover. This keeps tension on the mesh cover which works well for me. My only concern with this cover is how durable it will remain and the number of years I can reuse it before having to buy another. Bottom line is that this so far seems to be well made and more durable than it appears. Be careful not to snag it on concrete imperfections or other things that could snag it. Be patient spreading it out over your pool. One note for those that are in need of visual perfection. Due to the width, my cover has a seam where two pieces are joined. Conversationally, 15 feet joined with a 5 foot width. Not an issue for me as long as it remains joined and doesn't split apart over time. This mesh cover also has water bag loops spaced around the perimeter for those that need that method of holding it in place. Additionally, we do not get much snow or extended freezing temps, so I can't speculate on cold weather durability. ... show more

  • Working well, strong for it's weight.
Size: 20' x 40' (Rectangular)
I'm using this leaf net for a garden pond actually, not a pool. Although the netting material appears a little thin, it is actually stronger than expected. The hole size is fairly small which is good for keeping most all tiny leaves and such from getting through. I bought a size that was a good deal larger than I needed because I'm using large stones around the edges to keep it in place, just taking the excess over the stone and tucking it in under the backside. My biggest concern, aside from keeping leaves out of the pond, was my dogs. They use the pond for playing and drinking, general good times. The previous net I used was plastic mesh (this new one may be plastic ? but has more of a fabric feel) and very thin strands. By the end of fall, it had numerous rips in it from them stepping on it to get into the shallow water areas and play. The Dirt Defender, in my application, still sags into the water since I don't have any floats or framework across the pond to keep it up, but it's gotten no tears yet despite the same canine treatment. The leaves still get in the water but stay on top of the net where I use a long handled dip net to pull them out every couple days. The water gets discolored brown but the problem of rotting leaves accumulating on the bottom (and robbing oxygen from the fish) is greatly reduced. I'll remove it once most of the leaves are down, another 2-3 weeks, dry and store it until next year. Hopefully I'll get a few season's use out of it. The material along the edges of the leaf net, as another review noted, is the plastic rain tarp type of material. Pretty cheap crinkly stuff. The way I'm using it, it makes no difference though. This cheaper material is my reason for the 4 star vs 5 star rating. ... show more

  • A free form size would be nice but just be creativve
Size: 36' x 18' (Rectangular)
Our freeform pool is barely 20 x 25 and the best option was the 18X36. The net is actually 22 x 40 and is huge so it took some creativity to give us deck space. Cutting is not an option as it would just cause problems so we rolled it as close to our shape and used tie wraps at regular intervals. It's not perfect but I was able to pull the cover off fairly easily to clean and add chemicals. It is sturdy enough yet very light to handle. It takes some adjusting to get all the sides settled, but they adjust nicely once the pump is off and the jets aren't directing it. There is a roll that runs under the waterfall and seems to work fine that way. We are divers and had a supply of soft scuba weights that worked perfectly without spending more on water tubes. They are like little bean bags but drain well and the 3 lb weights did the trick. We are in south Florida and only really need this in the early spring when the winds have been howling and leaves are falling faster than we can skim. However, you CAN easily user your pool net and skim gently across the mesh to clean most of the leaves off. Daytime pictures were hard to get a good angle but hopefully the evening picture gives an idea of how it settled in. So far it has worked well and the price couldn't be beat. ... show more
