Poly Tarp Swimming Pool Solar Blanket Protective Cover - 20 Feet Wide

We purchased this solar blanket protector to replace a heavy, white tarp that we had been using. Prior to the tarp, our old solar blanket protector was made of some cheap material that didn't even last one season. Instead of the Velcro strips that come with this protector, we prefer to use bungee cords. We learned that removing the cover was annoying when the Velcro stuck on itself in the wrong places. Velcro also collects dirt and debris, so it becomes worthless within a short period of time. This protector is definitely made of a thicker, more durable material than the el cheapo, but is not bulky and hard to handle like the tarp. We hope to get several seasons of use from this one.

Don't do like I did and be too fast to trim your tarp, or it will end up being too short. I would give it 5 stars, but the 'self-stick' velcro doesn't work worth beans. I've ended up sewing on some velcro to get it to stay, otherwise, the tarp does the job. light enough weight that you're not lugging a huge thing across the yard, but protects the solar cover when it's on the reel.

This is a terrible product. I have purchased others that didn't last more than 2 years, but this one tore when I was putting it on. It's just a flimsy sheet of very thin material. it comes with worthless velcro strips.which don't work so I used twine to wrap it around my solar roll. All other items I purchased had zippers which worked well. DON"T BUY IT. Look around for something better.

For ovr 30 years we have used flimsy white plastic covers to put over our solar pool blankets when rolled up. Others only ever lasted one season -- if that long. These covers are used to prevent damage to the solar cover due to UV rays and overheating. This cover is awesome. It is nice and thick and made with ripstop material. I highly recommend it!

The material appears to be OK but the velcro attachments are a joke. You only get 12 in. of stick-on velcro to tie together 20 ft of material against the wind. My old cover is similar but has a sewn-on velcro strip across the entire 20 ft width. For this price I expected much better.

Quality tarp, actually wider than needed so I can double it over and provide better protection to the solar cover and reduce the effects of wind on the tarp. Good price, prompt delivery. No complaints!

When I got this, it wasn't what I expected, having owned one before, my remembering something about cotten in the ad. While the material is strong and protects the rolled-up solar blanket from the sun, the last one I owned began to break down into tiny long white strips that came apart the next season, the pool open for only four months. We shall see, since the plastic ones begin to easy rip also after a season. Hope one day a company comes out with a material the sun's rays cannot disintegrate so easily. As an FYI. I store the solar blanket rolled up in a canvas winter protector with zipper, the blanket now going into its third season.

This works great. I wish they gave you more velcro but I added some of my own and it works great.
