Why does Anchor sew webbing on the BOTTOM of mesh covers?

Defender Mesh Safety Pool Covers are made from a heavier, tight-weave poly fabric that blocks 98% of the sunlight. The patented fabric inhibits algae growth and minimizes debris entering the water to present a clean-to -pristine upon opening in the spring. Because of the tight-weave, chemicals loss is reduced from pool water.
