Pool Covers for Inground Pools, Pools Reel up to 18FT, Heavy Duty Waterproof Solar Blanket Cover for Pool

***This is an update to the original review below.*** The seller reached out to me after I left my original review. I explained the situation and provided a couple pictures, and they replaced the solar blanket cover without any issues. I had a replacement solar cover within a few days. I am hoping that this one will last longer than the original. That is yet to be determined, but I am happy that the seller stood behind the product by replacing the original, even though it was past the Amazon return window.I purchased the Ardila Veela solar blanket cover to prevent my solar cover from getting damaged by the summer heat. I purchased this product June of 2022. By August of 2022 it ripped already... The material is very thin and does not hold up to the elements. Definitely wasn't worth the money.

This is a very nice cover that is well made and easy to install with the Velcro tabs BUT, as others have reported, it is about 8 to 10" too short for an 18' solar pool cover. We have to put a towel over one end of our cover. We would return it since it is not as advertised, but we like it too much!

This solar blanket cover is easy to install with multiple Velcro connection points and drawstrings at the ends. It also looks so much better than the reel and solar blanket alone. This is our second purchase because the product does break down over time as it sits out and is fully exposed to the elements. Our first one dry rotted (first the drawstrings broke, then the cover ripped), but we didn’t hesitate to buy a new one. This one seems even thicker and more durable than the last.

This is a useless piece of garbage. See Photos. It is not 18 feet long. In the photos, one end is covered while the other end is sticking out by almost 1 foot. It Is cheap, very thin material. It drapes way down Leaving the solar cover hanging loose and on the ground. I would need bungee chords to securely keep the cover rolled up off the ground and an additional tarp to cover the end that would be exposed to the harsh Northeast winter. If I opened it up sooner, I would have made the return window. I will now search for an effective and durable cover. I will be throwing this in the trash. What a waste of $30.00 and twenty minutes of my time. DO NOT BY THIS TRASH!!!

Fit (length) for my 18ft reel is good. Cover feels very light - like a really thin woven shower curtain. Silver lining on the inside is nice, but not sure how durable the over is. Worried that it will not last the season.I did not like the way it wraps the reel. I have a thick solar blanket and the velcro is spaced pretty far and leaves the cover wrap very loose. It's not adjustable and as you can see in the first picture, is a very "baggy" fit for the cover. The ends can be cinched, but that doesn't really help with the look.TBH, I've used a couple of white narrow tarps and wrapped with some of the nicer flat bungie straps that looked more trim and were more durable (at least 3 seasons in the PNW). Total cost was also less than what I paid for this thin cover. I was hoping that a one piece purpose-made cover would have a more thoughtful design and implementation for this rather simple use case.

I’ve owned two and the draw strings on the end closures kept breaking to the point the ends couldn’t be closed. Ended up just using two bungi cords around each end. The Velcro closures worked great. Would be nice to see design change to put Velcro for end closures.

I purchased this product less than 2 years ago and was only able to use twice. It ripped in multiple places and the closing ends disintegrated. Would not buy again.

We've had solar covers in the past and have sometimes struggled with the straps and rope.But this is easy to use!!The first time we used it was before a storm, 20-30 mph winds. The Velcro made it simple to close the covers.
