We oder 18 ft cover for 16 ft pool. It is so easy to put on, good quality, warms water, durable, and weathered a big wind storm well. Would buy again.

I ordered this cover for my new 18’ x 52” round above ground pool and used it when we closed our pool in early November 2022. It is my first time ever using a solid above ground pool cover, so I didn’t know what to expect. I am actually surprised that it has held up so far (knock on wood) during some of these crazy winds and storms! We used the red “string”/wire/whatever you wanna call it and ratchet that it came with and were able to get it to stay put so far. No extra cables or weights or anything to keep it held down. I bought a small pool cover pump to pump water off of it when we get heavy rains. A good tip is to leave SOME water around the cover (especially if you’re using a pillow!) to keep it from parachuting during heavy winds (although it still will a little bit…especially during really high winds). Use the winch to tie as tight as you can and make sure the cover is secure and you won’t have to worry about it blowing off. I am actually shocked it has stayed on!

Keeping up with pumping water off is kind of annoying but I think it will be worth it not having to deal with a green swamp like we would with a mesh cover. Using a pillow in the center makes pumping water off a LOT easier. Do not drain too much water because this cover is meant to sit ON TOP OF the water! Do not pull it tight! We only drained about 3-4 inches below the skimmer and returns. The lower you drain the water at closing, the more stress you’re putting on your pool’s walls when the heavy rain and snow comes! It is a solid cover so it is NOT necessary to drain so much water like you would with a mesh one. Quality is mid at best, I suppose. It is pretty thin and flimsy but slightly better than just a regular old “tarp”. I plan on only using this for this season since it was cheap and buying another one for next closing.

Overall, I recommend this cover if you can find it for cheap and don’t have high expectations. Forget about the 8 year “warranty”. This will last 2 seasons at best — maybe 3 if you don’t get a lot of heavy winds or rains. It is pretty thin and looks like it could rip easily. It has stayed on and has exceeded my expectations thus far. I will update this review when I take the cover off in late March/early April and let y’all know how it did! So far, so good!

SPRING UPDATE!! Cover lasted all winter up until opening in early April! Never blew off, never ripped, excellent value! I will be buying another one when I close this season since the price is so good. Buy it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Run, Don’t Walk (Away from this pool cover)
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2024
Bought this pool cover in Fall 2023 because our old one failed on us and we didn’t have the budget for a fancy schmancy replacement at that point. We figured we’d get a few years out of it and while we saved for a nicer one, but this one didn’t even make it a year.

The biggest issue with this cover is that it (despite not being a mesh cover) lets rain water up into the pool in certain spots and lets the pool water come up out through the cover. So whereas my wife and I were pumping off the water on top of the cover (as we always do), this cover was letting our pool water up into the pump and out onto the street. By the time we realized what had happened, we lost about a quarter of the remaining pool water that we had after lowering it beneath the skimmer for the winter.

So now, we have to go through the expense of another cover, plus all of the water that we had to replace during opening. Also, because we could not pump water off of the cover, we had to drag the heavy water that was trapped on top of the cover over the edge of the pool when removing the cover.

Honestly, this was by far the worst cover we’ve ever used. I’m surprised this thing has any good reviews on it because this was an epic fail for us.

8 years is a laughably inaccurate life expectancy — this cover didn’t even make it one season.

Do not buy unless you like frustration, wasting money, and doing extra work.

I paid 17.50 two weeks ago and now they are double the price. Glad I bought this when I did. How does this happen? Seems to be strong enough material to cover my pool this winter and keep it protected.

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
We have always had to buy a new cover, every Autumn for the pool. By the time Spring comes around, the covers have rips, tears and are not worth saving. We bought this Autumn 2023 and took it off the pool, May 2024. This is the first cover that we were able to put away for another season! We will be putting back on the pool Autumn 2024. Happy that we don't have to buy another one!!
