Mr. Cheap chiming in here. My pool is a 34' x 17' oval. I buy 8-mil black plastic in 20' x 100' rolls, and cut it into 2 40' lengths (get 2 covers out of it). Have 72 2"x8"x16" concrete blocks (about 50 cents each) that I use to hold it down with. Usually get 2-3 years out of each cover, which...

I've used them for over 10 years for solar covers, pool & deck paint, and a few miscellaneous items---never had a problem and prices were best I've found.

I say no. Have owned my 50-yr-old concrete pool with laminated porcelain steel sides for 37 years--and yeah--paint don't last. Can definitely say no to Rumac rubber-base, Ultra-Poly One Coat, and Ultra-Guard. Only luck I've had is using Olympic's Zeron and Gunzite primer. But you're gonna have...

No-No-No to Ultra-Poly One Coat. I have a 50-yr-old inground, concrete bottom & porcelain-laminated steel (not stainless) sides. Paint's supposed to last 15 years, and was developed to coat steel or concrete silos,etc., for caustic chemicals. Only two things it can't guard against are sun and...

My curiosity is aroused. On your website, Step 1--Drain the pool, you have a picture showing the fiberglass side with the skimmer that has numerous round bubbles on the siding. Did you just paint over them, or did you grind them down and patch them or what? As stated, just curious, and...

I wouldn't call it fading, but the concrete bottom is not exactly all the same color. I contribute that to mixing each gallon of paint separately (had to), with some gallons getting more acetone than others, and when the paint started to cure (some areas painted with fresh paint and others...

It has held up better than poxolon, zerex, and that crummy water-based Ramux Crud. I painted with a brush, and wanting to get everything covered, I painted it on thick and ended up with a lot of sag in places. It was real hot when I painted, and where I got it on too thick, it seemed like the...

I painted the whole thing: bottom, sides, and rim. Estimated 800 square ft. Ultra Poly One Coat said coverage would be 100-125 sq. ft. per gallon. I used 5 gallons: 160 sq. ft. per gallon, but all my surfaces were very, very, smooth, especially concrete bottom (had ground paint off bottom 5-6...

I can tell you about it, but can't tell you if it works or not. Have a 46-year old 17' x34' (depth of 3 1/2' to 8 1/2') concrete bottom, laminated porcelain on steel (not stainless) sides, steel rim (not stainless). Couldn't get any type of paint to hold more than a year or two, so decided to...
