    I dont post here much, but thought I would toss these photos out and see what you all think. My doughboy pool is 11 years old and its rusted around the bottom very badly. I see the liner coming through the wall in some spots. I am wondering if this is THE LAST summer I can use it or was last...

    Pool covering

    I was wondering, could I use those double chamber water tubes to hold down the cover? Are they any good? I worry about the eyelets taking a beating, as some of my other tarps have done in the past.

    Rust around the bottom
