  • Worst cover I’ve ever purchased
Style: Cover Size: 32' (Round)
This is by far the worst, cheapest cover I’ve ever purchased. It absolutely disintegrated and didn’t make it halfway through winter. Big gaping holes and we had to fish lots of pieces out when we opened. I specifically looked up which one it was so I never buy another one.

  • Light-duty polyethlene cover
Style: Cover Size: 25' (Round)
I have a 21' above ground pool so I ordered the 21' cover. The cover is actually 25' in diameter so it fits my pool perfectly with plenty of overhang even with an air pillow underneath it. Be aware that you get what you pay for. This cover is made from run-of-the-mill nylon/polyester mesh fabric with a polyethlene coating (the same as those cheap blue poly tarps from the hardware store). I seriously doubt that this tarp will last more than one or two seasons (my previous cover lasted one season and it was made of the same material). The "8-year" warranty is very misleading. Year 1 is 100% covered, year 2 is 50% off retail, year 3 is 40% off retail, year 4 is 30% off retail, year 5 is 20% off retail, year 6 is 15% off retail, year 7 is 10% off retail, and year 8 is 5% off retail. But, again, this is an inexpensive cover and should get the job done for a season or two. It fits perfectly and I'm happy with my purchase. UPDATE 10/31/2014 ================= The cover worked well for one winter season. We removed the cover in the Spring, hosed it off, and stored it in our crawl space until this Autumn. We closed down our pool and re-installed the cover about a month ago. We noticed that there was always a layer of water on top of the cover even after we pumped it dry. We just figured it was rain or dew buildup, but after a dry spell there was still a lot of water on top of the cover. We ended up buying another (same) cover and spent a great deal of time siphoning off the water and removing the old cover to install the new cover. While doing this we noticed lots of tiny holes in the old cover which is how the water was seeping on top. We got the new cover installed and everything is good now. Bottom line: the cover that we purchased a year ago only lasted one season. We're now on our second cover and we expect it to only last one season as well. This cover is pretty inexpensive so you get what you pay for. UPDATE: 09/19/2016 ===================================== I've now gone through THREE of these covers. The first two each lasted about two seasons (which, honestly, is what I was expecting). But the third cover didn't even make it through one season. A few months after covering our pool, the weave began to separate and water would leak up through the cover. Very poor quaity in my opinion. Third time's the charm, we will not order this over again. ... show more

  • Cover has tears in it on one end like it melted in 1 spot
Style: Cover Size: 18-FT x 34-FT
Update: just took cover off 4/29/25 after having covered since 9/24 and on one end of cover that was over top seat of pool in 1 area it's got little tears almost like it melted. Idk if it's a defect or what but it will rip when we try to cover it next year. I will attach pix. It only did it in that area but all of it was attached the same and was in the same weather, etc and nobody has even been to that end of the pool all winter as there's no deck at that end. So we got 1yr out of it. Gonna try to get replacement. 1st reciew before took it off (1st year with this new cover. So far so good. Held up through some rough weather this year!) ... show more

  • Good enough so far for the price! Will update in the spring!
Style: Cover Size: 22' (Round)
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! ... show more

  • Didn’t last 2 years.
Style: Cover Size: 28' (Round)
The first year it is wonderful. In upstate New York, do not trust it the second. We just pulled it off the pool and threw it out because the water on top wasn’t rain, it was the water from the pool seeping through. The amount of particulate that is in the pool makes me want to cry because we closed it up in fall nice and sparkling clean. I knew not to expect 8 years but it definitely should have lasted a generous 3! Looks like I’ll be going back to Ocean State Job Lot in the fall for the next cover. Three stars is generous. Whelp. ... show more
