The cover was easy to put on and covers my 24 ft. sufficiently with additional overlap. So far it has stood up to 40 mph gusts without coming off. Good cover for the price.

I've been buying these covers for years, I believe they are also known as Arctic Armour covers. They don't last the 12 years - more like 3-4 years but for the price they are worth it; over the years the price has come down a lot so I have not bothered trying to get a warranty replacement. It is a generous fit and I usually lower the water in the pool to the return and I haven't had an issue yet. The metal locking clip did break somewhat upon first use but it seems to be holding OK. I believe the cover has gotten a little cheaper over the years but then again so has the price; 3 to 4 years usage is pretty good IMO. I certainly would recommend the cover especially for the price Home Depot is selling them for as of fall 2017.

The pool cover was fine but they sure don't make them as thick as the used to. We just put it on the pool and only time will tell. We were very satisfied with the Home Depot sending it to us quickly.

I've had an above ground pool for 42 years and purchased several winter covers over those years. Eventually they all fail but this one takes the cake. My "12 year warranty" cover lasted two winters. Now the mesh fabric is separating and allowing the pool water to come through the cover. The useless warranty says I must return the cover to St. Charles, IL to get a partial, prorated credit towards another one of their covers. First of all, I would never buy another one of their covers. Blue Wave/Arctic Armor is smart enough to know most people are not going to take advantage of the warranty unless they happen to live in St. Charles, IL and can hand-deliver the defective cover. The cost of shipping would be prohibitive. I love Home Depot and spend a lot of money there but this experience puts a bitter taste in my mouth.

    Good value
    Read the directions! This is made of tarp like material and is ment to float on top of the water. Rain water and leaves are collecting on top...I guess I will see how much evaporates and blows away and how much I am left to deal wth this spring. Went on my 16' pool very easily and the wire and ratchet system work well...it has stood up to 40mph winds so far.

        Just installed, all covers are good the first year. I will update after 3 years, I don't think it will make it to 12 years, seems like a typical pool cover which will last 3 years.
