Intex 22 foot round cover

[cfclay]

Has anyone ever used this before? I bought this before Labor Day and was excited to pull it out of the box. It is exactly what you need for 22 feet, not much more. It has a material similar to the Intex tubes or rafts, and it does not allow for you to weight down the cord around the pool like you would do a sturdy winter cover. In fact, it is a nylon cord, rather than a wire cord or

rope , that runs through the end of the cover.
The cover also has holes distributed throughout it.
Very strange.

That is nothing more than a debris cover. I would fear that a good wind storm would take it right off (I assume that the holes are for wind relief, and to let water on top of the cover to weigh it down.

Are you covering for winter? If you get snow and/or freezing temps I recommend a standard pool cover.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. This is not I was looking for. Last spring I trashed my real winter cover.

It's definitely useless in a wind storm. Learned that during Hurricane Matthew.

It made it 2 weeks it looks like. Very easy to pull out from the bottom of the pool and cover again. For how long, not sure. [emoji3]

Gorilla tape seems to hold it up. But I don't recommend this cover at all. Just trying to patch through one year

That's a great idea. We installed ours this past weekend and it stayed on 2 days. Ugh.

What do you see has now held for seven days in some very high winds I would recommend that you buy a roll of gorilla tape and take some rubbing alcohol and on a warm day wipe clean the surface of the uprights and cover where the tape will be sticking.
