Your cart is empty.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.

Works great. Just wish we had bought it sooner. Make sure to get the water weights to hold it in place so the leaves don't blown under the net!

Will also work over the 16’ cattle panel hoop structures to provide safe shelter for the chickens.

During the winter months, my neighbor's trees lose all their leaves and make a mess in my pool. The leaf net was a great leaf catcher and although it still allows the dirt and smaller leaves in the pool, it was quite useful! It's very light, easy to spread across the pool, weighted down with the water bags, stayed put during the wind, and I was able to take it off the pool without dumping the leaves in to the pool. And I did it by myself, I am a 64 year old woman. Now that all the leaves are off the tree I don't need it anymore, but it's good for next Fall. You do need to be careful, it tears easily.

Works great to catch the neighbors big leaves that seem to gravitate over into my pool. Being hurricane season & remembering the years past after storms would come thru.. I ordered this leaf net to save myself a headache. Storm came thru just as I put it on yesterday and wow at the time it saved me today because I didn’t have to get those leaves & sticks out of the bottom of my pool. A leaf blower took care of what was on the net. Little stuff still falls thru but the vacuum can handle that and not get clogged up. I did throw all my floaties in the pool to keep them from blowing away in these storms that are headed our way. No more chasing floaties down🤷🏻♀️I’ll be Sharing this on my social media for friends who have pools and may not have come across this idea yet. I didn’t even know it existed until I spotted it on Amazon looking for a cover for the pool. I may be ordering another to put up incase this one gives out on me one day. I just need to get something proper to hold it down flat but for now these concrete blocks work for me. Mine was perfectly intact when it came..no holes or snags!

We have trees around the property and installed this once the pool was closed and the winter cover installed. Pulled the leaf net out once most leaves had fallen and dumped them on the lawn where we mulched them in with the lawnmower. Great results….will greatly reduce the mess we dealt with last year.

It doesn’t meet my expectation when it comes to the durability of this product, but it was a breeze to install it. So far, some tiny leaves and twigs have found their ways to the bottom of the pool, but overall, it does what it’s supposed to do.

It keeps the leaves off awesome. The actual pool cover was hard to put on and would pool water when it rained. We are in a subtropical area in NSW Australia, so a cover also heated our pool up which we don’t want or need. This is fabulous.

Well, first of all, there are no metal grommets as pictured, but instead there are flexible plastic triangles with holes instead, for tying down. This seems to be just like the leaf net I bought about 3 years ago that is still holding up well, but is not large enough for a dome cover I'm about to construct over my pool.One thing about leaf nets is that once a pile of leaves pile up and touch the water, they will cause a big depression into which even more leaves will fall into and stay because they too get wet and heavy. Before long you accumulate a big soggy mess of leaves in one spot. So either you need some kind of support underneath to lift the net up, or remove the pile. I decided it's time to try to make a pvc dome and cover it with the leaf net. I found all the small parts online for about half the price of the big box stores, (plus a much better choice of parts). They are like 'tinker toys' for adults who like to build things. If it works out well enough I may just leave it up year round which may help keep the algae under control with the filtered light from the net when I double up with my older but smaller net. I'm too old to be working on a tan anyway. Should be the next best thing to having an indoor pool without the expense. I just need to make sure the net does not act like a sail and send my dome into the neighbor's yard. "Honey, there's what looks like a big black fishing net in our backyard."

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.
