For a 16×40 fiberglass Monaco, we recommend the Latham 7000MS Mesh Safety Cover. It's the sweet spot — significantly stronger and better-draining than the entry-level 5000M, without the added weight and maintenance of a solid cover. It's what we'd put on our own pool.
The 5000M is Latham's entry-level mesh safety cover — ASTM F1346 certified and built to keep your pool protected through a NEPA winter. Standard mesh construction allows water to drain through while blocking debris. A solid, reliable option if budget is the primary concern.
| Model | Latham 5000M |
| Cover Type | Mesh — allows water drainage |
| Safety Certification | ASTM F1346 certified |
| Fit | Custom manufactured to pool dimensions |
| Hardware | Stainless steel anchors and springs included |
| Cover Price | $2,369.80 |
| Installation | $500.00 (flat fee) |
| Total | $2,869.80 |
The 5000M is a solid entry-level cover that gets the job done. If budget is the primary driver, this is the pick. That said, the step up to the 7000MS is meaningful — better fabric, better drainage rate, longer service life — and only $662 more all-in.
The 7000MS is Latham's mid-grade mesh cover and the one we recommend for most NEPA pools. Heavier fabric, tighter weave, and a higher drainage rate than the 5000M — it keeps your pool cleaner over winter, holds up longer, and still passes water through so there's no standing water on top. This is the sweet spot between price and performance.
| Model | Latham 7000MS |
| Cover Type | Premium mesh — high-flow drainage |
| Safety Certification | ASTM F1346 certified |
| Fabric | Heavier weave vs. 5000M — better debris blocking |
| Fit | Custom manufactured to pool dimensions |
| Hardware | Stainless steel anchors and springs included |
| Cover Price | $3,031.95 |
| Installation | $500.00 (flat fee) |
| Total | $3,531.95 |
The 7000MS is the cover we'd put on our own fiberglass pool. For $662 more than the 5000M all-in, you get meaningfully better fabric, better debris protection, and a longer life. On a 16×40 Monaco that's a significant amount of cover — the heavier weave makes a real difference over a NEPA winter. This is the pick that balances value and performance best.
The 9000MX is Latham's top-of-the-line mesh cover — the heaviest fabric, tightest weave, and most durable mesh option in the lineup. Maximum debris blocking, maximum longevity. If you want the absolute best mesh cover available and plan to keep it for many seasons, this is it.
| Model | Latham 9000MX |
| Cover Type | Premium mesh — tightest weave available |
| Safety Certification | ASTM F1346 certified |
| Fabric | Heaviest mesh weight in Latham lineup |
| Fit | Custom manufactured to pool dimensions |
| Hardware | Stainless steel anchors and springs included |
| Cover Price | $3,443.18 |
| Installation | $500.00 (flat fee) |
| Total | $3,943.18 |
The 9000MX is for the pool owner who wants the best and plans to keep the cover for many seasons. At $411 more than the 7000MS all-in, you're getting the finest mesh and longest service life available. If you have a lot of trees or debris around the pool, the tighter weave will make a noticeable difference at opening time.
The 1000HS is Latham's solid safety cover — a completely opaque cover that blocks all light, water, and debris from entering the pool. Zero algae growth over winter since no sunlight penetrates. The tradeoff is that rainwater and snowmelt collect on top and must be pumped off — this cover requires active management through the off-season.
| Model | Latham 1000HS |
| Cover Type | Solid — fully opaque, no water drainage |
| Safety Certification | ASTM F1346 certified |
| Light Blocking | 100% — zero algae growth over winter |
| Water Management | Requires pump to remove standing water |
| Fit | Custom manufactured to pool dimensions |
| Hardware | Stainless steel anchors and springs included |
| Cover Price | $3,171.35 |
| Installation | $500.00 (flat fee) |
| Total | $3,671.35 |
The solid cover is the right call if you want the absolute cleanest pool at opening and don't mind checking on it through the winter to pump off standing water. For a fiberglass pool like the Monaco, mesh is typically the easier long-term choice — but if algae has been an issue for you in the past, a solid cover solves that completely.
