winter covers

Replacing a 20 yr old looploc cover. Looking for recommendations that might be more affordable than the loop loc offerings???

Hi - first closing on our new pool and I am going to try out the wrap stuff to seal around the winter cover. Any suggestions or feedback on using this? I am in a coastal/high wind area. Also, how have people worked the stuff around the skimmer??? I usually see this wrap extending like 12" below...
