5.0 out of 5 stars Great temporary fix for the lack of pool covers
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021
This year, I got one of those inexpensive inflatable ring pools for the kids. It's 10' wide. I should have immediately purchased the cover when I saw one, but I waited and, of course, now a $20 cover is being sold for $50 by the scalpers.
Anyway, I needed something to keep the bugs out of the pool while we're not using it. This is basically a big round black tarp with grommets to allow the wire to secure it to a pool over winter.

Pros:
It's round, like my pool!
It's easy to cover the pool with. It's much larger than the 10' pool, so I'm not fighting with trying to make it fit.

Cons:
It is just a tarp. Not the most heavy duty either. I'd be quite nervous using it to cover a pool in winter - it seems like the freeze/frost cycle would cause the material to degrade rather quickly.

But! It's the best cover I've found for less than $50, and it'll work.

Pool cover will never last as long as they claim, rivets will only take so much strain. Material does keep dirt out but weave will weaken from weather and will leak dirty water into pool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly thin
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023
This is overall a great buy for the price. It works just as stated. However, I felt the cover was just a tarp. It was the same exact material. I wish it was slightly thicker for better quality.

I recently had the misfortune of purchasing the Winter Block WC18R Aboveground Pool Winter Cover, and I can confidently say it's been a complete disaster from day one. This so-called "winter cover" is more like a recipe for frustration and disappointment. Here's a scathing review of my dreadful experience:

1. Poor Quality Materials: The quality of this cover is shockingly low. It feels as though it's made from the flimsiest material available, more akin to a trash bag than something that should protect your pool throughout the winter.

2. Inadequate Size: Despite being advertised as an 18-foot cover, it barely covers my 16-foot aboveground pool. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, and the edges flap around like a loose flag in the wind.

3. Weak Construction: The stitching and overall construction of the cover are abysmal. It's like they used dental floss to hold it together. I had to reinforce several seams to prevent the cover from falling apart.

4. Useless Tie-Downs: The included tie-downs are an exercise in futility. They snap, break, or come undone with even the slightest breeze. It's like trying to secure your cover with wet spaghetti – utterly useless.

5. Poor Drainage Design: The design of this cover makes it sag in the middle, creating a water pool instead of preventing it. It's like a rainwater reservoir that threatens to collapse under the weight, potentially damaging your pool.

6. Total Lack of Durability: If you expect this cover to withstand the harsh winter elements, think again. It's more likely to give in to the first gust of wind or snowfall. It's like having a paper umbrella in a hurricane.

7. Misleading Advertising: The product description and images are misleading at best. What you see is not what you get, and you end up with a flimsy, ill-fitting, and practically useless piece of pool cover.

8. Wasted Money: This cover is not only a waste of money but also a waste of time and effort. I had to spend extra on a better cover to actually protect my pool from the winter weather.

In conclusion, the Winter Block WC18R Aboveground Pool Winter Cover is an absolute disaster. Its poor quality, inadequate size, weak construction, and useless tie-downs make it a terrible investment. Instead of protecting your pool from the winter, it's more likely to cause you headaches and additional expenses. I strongly advise against purchasing this cover and suggest looking for a more reliable option that won't leave you regretting your choice.

It is black, so leaving it on in the summer it acts as an excellent solar heater

3.0 out of 5 stars Very lightweight, tore easily
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
This round tarp is not nearly as heavy or durable as the second one I bought from another seller for right around the same cost. This one tore some at the edge by the grommets in a few places the first time we used it and is very lightweight, much lighter than the other one we purchased. I am using it but know that it will not last for more than a season at best. But it did arrive quickly and with the items stated.
