Solar Reel Protective Cover for Pool up to 16 FT Wide, Waterproof Pool Reel Cover Solar Blanket Cover for Above Ground and Inground Pools

I have not had it long enough to give a full review. So far, it seems fine. It was easy to put on by myself.

Cover arrived on time seems to be good quality. I ordered the wrong length so mine’s a little big. My pool is 12 foot wide and this one is 16 feet long but it still works. I think it was a good price. I would definitely buy again at the correct size.

You get what you pay for with this reel cover. The fabric is THIN. Thin like rayon but not the same texture. The inner cover is silver reflective and the outside is beige. My in ground pool is 18x22 and this was used for our solar cover. It was a bit big which was fine as long as the wind didn't catch it. The velcro didn't stay attached when that happened so we had to wrap bungee cords around to keep it secure. At the end of our 2nd season when we went to remove the cover it pretty much disintegrated in our hands. Parts of it literally turned into a powder. Our reel is stored out of direct weather and sunlight in the winter so I was pretty surprised how quickly this cover deteriorated. Our solar cover ended up damaged and split in 2 places. A heavy duty tarp would be thicker and likely have done a better job. Invest in a good cover or a good tarp bc this particular product will cost you money in the long run.

Update: only one summer in SFL. Was hoping it'd last longer, but it has been a brutally hot summer. Fabric is shredding, but I guess for the price, I shouldn't complain, but I did drop a star. ...... Bought last Nov, but only putting it on now that "winter" is over. The velcro is sewn on, and the end ties have pull locks so it won't come loose, and it fits perfectly! I didn't rate durability, tho it has a silver coating on the inside that looks promising, but we'll see how it handles a SFL summer. I have bought variations in the past... too loose, velcro came unstuck, turned black in no time, etc. So, this is the best ever.... so far.

Update 9/25. 2nd purchase lasted only 1 season also. Only use it for a few months a year but it does get sun on it during the summer. Disintegrates at the end of each season so only lasts through a spring and part of fall. 2x now did not even make it till October in NJ from 1st May use. UPDATE 9/1/24: *****Worked well for Fall 23. Spring 24 ropes on ends broke but replaced easily enough. Brough back out for Cool nights starting Late Aug 24(only used for a couple of months each shoulder season. Cover itself started to rip in a couple of places as I guess it just degrades in the sun. So you can get maybe 5 months out if it. Never found another one that last though so might just purchase again. *******This reel cover is much different then what comes with a solar cover purchase. It seems like it weill last longer than the white single layer covers that usually start disintegrating after a couple of seasons. This has an outer tan layer and an inner reflective/insulatin layer. I actually thought it was inside out at first but the pictures showed the tan is on the outside and the reflective side is to be inside. It fit my 20 foot reel fine and closed well around the ends(unlike the typical ones). Lots of reviews complained about too little velcro which may be valid but the velcro for these covers in the sun never last. This one has ties on the end which is good and I always use thin/rope or thick twin to ti tie the cover on in a few places--takes about 30 seconds. So only 2 weeks with the product but I hope it lasts well.

This works great! It’s easy to use, reasonably priced, looks so much better than the plastic we used to use. You can throw in washing machine when gets dirty. Our last one lasted four years. We cannot say enough good things about this cover. Try it, you will love it!

Easily installed, great fit and extends the life of your pool's solar blanket. Great price too!

We bought this solar blanket cover early in the summer and I have to say, we've been really happy with it. It is easy to put on and take off, the velcro makes it so easy to secure, and it has lasted really well compared to the previous covers we have bought. Great product!

Affordable but the fabric weakens over time and after a bit over a year it ripped when I pulled it off. May be better off paying a bit extra for a better quality.

Worked for it's purpose. Fit our cover.

Très bon produit. Bon choix de grandeur. Léger, facile d'utilisation, se pli et s'instale facilement autour du rouleau solaire.

Product does not seem very durable, and I would have definitely paid more for a cover that had velcro across the whole length of the cover as opposed to a 6 inch peice every 5 ish feet.
