Those are good points thank you so much. Hopefully I made a good choice, if not, you all will hear about it and hopefully it steers someone from this forum away from them. This is why I love this web site. Filled with personal experiences. The below is from the web page.
Strength and Durability
All strap cross-sections and perimeter points feature cross-stitched reinforcement. Specially treated, U.V. resistant polyester thread is used throughout the cover.
Quality Control
Triple white bonded polyester stitching is used on all our webbing seams for visual inspection purposes, ensuring that no stitches are dropped. Consistent quality is ensured throughout the manufacturing process with systematic checks and the issuance of a signed inspection card for every cover. White thread (triple stitching) cross tack & box tack at all perimeter stress points.
Protective Rub Strip
Industry leading 22" soft component rub strips protect the cover and your pool coping from excessive wear.
Double Layered Strapping
A durable grid of strapping on both sides makes our pool covers the strongest per square foot in the industry. Reinforced webbing top and bottom on every seam and around the perimeter. Straps run on both top and bottom of the cover for added strength.
Identification Code
An industry first! Each cover has a registered serial number sewn into the cover perimeter. If the cover ever needs replacement, a duplicate cover matching all straps to your existing anchors is easily manufactured.
Since the late 1800's protective covers have been made under the family name of Hinsperger.
