Just a rant. Started opening today and my cover just gave out, tearing at the seams. I shouldn't be too upset as this one lasted six years. Usually they only last three years. This is because I installed a non rectangular pool and the automatic cover runs over the concrete and just wears out. My biggest regret is not putting a rectangular pool in and have it run under the coping. Probably would still be on the same one after twenty years. So take note if you want an auto cover.
 
When you get a chance show us pics of your pool and cover tracks so folks see what not to do.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
 
You can see it looks great, nice and flush with the deck. But it's like pulling a wet towel across concrete and rubs the material thin.
