Finally got our safety cover installed last week and overall came out great but there are slight gaps around the waterfall. They can’t make it completely snug obviously because the rocks are irregularly shaped so it’s pretty good but there are some gaps around the corners. What do people use to seal it up better for the winter?

Nothing. What are you sealing it from?
Post pics of the cover and gaps you think are a problem.

Our cover is attached to the rocks (or in our case, faux rocks), via imbedded pop out hooks and a cable. The cover in that area has padding on the edges that conform to the irregular surface to help 'seal' the pool. If you have that same setup, you may just need to adjust the cable tension. If not, i've seen people slit a pool noodle and slip it over the edge of the cover, which helps fill the irregular gaps. But honestly, if you only have a few small gaps, I wouldnt worry about it.

The pictures don’t show it exactly but there are slight gaps where I can see the water so leaves etc can fall in between.
The waterfall has the anchor bolts and the cable is there to support the cover.
It might just be me being picky about it not being completely sealed but was just curious if others use something to have it completely closed.

Those gaps are not a problem. Stick some cut up pool noodles into the gaps if they bother you.
