Meyco Winter Pool Cover Supply & Installation in Anne Arundel & Prince George's County
Certified Installation of Meyco Winter Covers: The Gold Standard for Winter Pool Protection in Maryland. Custom-measured, construction-grade installations that protect your family and your investment.
The Gold Standard in Winter Pool Protection
A winter pool cover is the only thing standing between your family's safety and Maryland's harsh winter elements.
A winter pool cover is the only thing standing between your family's safety and Maryland's harsh winter elements. While a standard tarp and water bags might keep some debris out, they offer zero protection against accidental submersions and often fail under the weight of Maryland's heavy, wet snow. For homeowners who demand the "Gold Standard" in winter protection, there is only one choice: Meyco Winter Covers.
The Pool Peeps is a certified partner and installer of Meyco Pool Covers throughout Annapolis, Bowie, Severna Park, and Crofton. As the original inventors of the safety pool cover, Meyco sets the industry benchmark for durability, tension, and fit. We don't just "sell covers"—we provide custom-measured, construction-grade installations that ensure your cover performs exactly as engineered to protect your investment.

Why Choose Meyco?
The Original Safety Originators Since 1957
The Safety Originators
Founded in 1957, Meyco pioneered the safety cover industry. Every design element is focused on preventing accidental drowning and protecting your pool's structural integrity.
Maryland-Tough Durability
Built to withstand the specific freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads common in Anne Arundel and Prince George's County winters.
MeycoControl Precision
Every cover is manufactured with drum-tight tolerances that prevent rubbing against coping, extending both cover and pool surface life.
Builder-Preferred Partner
As a company with construction background, The Pool Peeps chooses Meyco because their engineering matches our high standards for pool protection.
Signs Your Current Winter Cover Needs Replacement
If you notice these issues, your safety is compromised:
Gaps at the Coping
If the cover doesn't sit flush against the tile or stone, debris and animals can enter the pool.
Frayed Straps or Rusted Springs
Weak points in the tension system can lead to a total cover collapse under snow.
Standing Water on Top
If your mesh cover is no longer draining, it is likely clogged with fine silt, adding thousands of pounds of stress to your pool deck.
Visible Punctures
Even small holes from falling branches can compromise the weight-bearing integrity of a safety cover.
Choose Your Protection Level
Three primary Meyco options, each tailored to specific backyard environments in Maryland
MeycoLite
The Best-Selling Classic
The original mesh cover that started it all. MeycoLite is famous for its high-strength, lightweight weave that allows water to drain through while keeping out heavy debris.
- High-strength mesh weave
- Water drains through naturally
- Lightweight for easy handling
- Blocks heavy leaves & debris
- 15-year manufacturer warranty
Best For: Pools in Davidsonville or Upper Marlboro with heavy leaf loads but manageable sunlight exposure.
RuggedMesh
Advanced Debris & Sun Protection
RuggedMesh filters out even finer debris and blocks 99% of sunlight, significantly reducing the chance of spring algae blooms.
- Blocks 99% of UV rays
- Filters finer debris than MeycoLite
- Prevents spring algae growth
- Water drains through naturally
- 15-year manufacturer warranty
Best For: Homeowners who want the lightweight benefits of mesh with the water-clarity benefits of a solid cover.
PermaGuard
The Ultimate Solid Defense
The premier solid cover choice. PermaGuard blocks 100% of sunlight and all fine silt, ensuring your pool water remains exactly as clear as the day we closed it.
- Blocks 100% of sunlight
- Blocks all fine silt & debris
- Crystal-clear spring water
- Requires cover pump for rainwater
- 15-year manufacturer warranty
Best For: Pools in Annapolis or Severna Park that get direct, intense sun during the winter months.
Our Certified Installation Process
Installing a safety cover is a mechanical task, not just a manual one. We ensure tension is balanced to prevent damage to your pool's coping or deck.
On-Site Measuring
The Pool Peeps team performs the initial measurement to establish the baseline dimensions of your pool. A Meyco representative then visits your property to conduct a secondary, independent measurement.
Anchor Precision
We drill and set brass anchors into your concrete or pavers, designed to sit flush and "disappear" during the summer.
Tension Balancing
We use heavy-duty stainless steel springs to find the "sweet spot" of tension that protects your coping.
Final Safety Audit
We verify that every strap is adjusted to Meyco's engineering specifications for maximum weight support.

Winter Pool Cover Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for homeowners seeking professional Meyco cover installation in Anne Arundel and Prince George's County.
How much does professional Meyco cover installation cost in Anne Arundel County?
Complete Meyco safety cover installations in Anne Arundel and Prince George's County typically start at $1,200, depending on pool size, shape, and cover type (MeycoLite, RuggedMesh, or PermaGuard). This includes custom manufacturing, brass anchors, and professional installation. Our $100 consultation fee is applied directly to your final purchase price.
How long does it take to install a winter safety cover in Bowie or Annapolis?
Once measurements are confirmed and your custom cover arrives from Meyco (typically 2-3 weeks), the actual installation takes just 2-4 hours. Our team drills anchor holes, installs brass fittings, and tensions the cover to specification. We schedule installations throughout fall in Severna Park, Crofton, and surrounding areas to ensure you're protected before the first snow.
Can you replace my old safety cover using existing anchor holes?
Yes. If you have existing Meyco anchors in good condition, we can measure your current layout for a direct replacement cover. For other brands or damaged anchors, we assess whether existing holes can be used or if new anchor placement is needed. This saves drilling time and preserves your deck integrity in many Anne Arundel and PG County installations.
Which Meyco cover is best for Maryland winters: mesh or solid?
For most Maryland pools in Annapolis, Bowie, and Davidsonville, RuggedMesh offers the best balance—it blocks 99% of sunlight to prevent algae while allowing rainwater to drain naturally. Solid PermaGuard covers are ideal for pools in full sun but require a pump. Mesh MeycoLite works well for shaded pools with heavy leaf debris. We help you choose based on your specific location and tree coverage.
Are the brass anchors safe for bare feet during swimming season?
Yes. Professional Meyco brass anchors screw completely flush with your concrete or paver deck, creating a smooth surface that's safe for bare feet. During summer, you barely notice them. In contrast, store-bought covers use water bags that freeze, leak, and create tripping hazards around your pool deck in Anne Arundel and Prince George's County.
Do you offer winter cover installation in Prince George's County areas like Largo and Laurel?
Yes. The Pool Peeps provides certified Meyco cover installation throughout Prince George's County including Largo, Laurel, College Park, Upper Marlboro, and Greenbelt, as well as all Anne Arundel County locations. We schedule measurements and installations regionally to minimize travel time and provide competitive pricing for MD homeowners.
