Dirt Defender 8-Year 20-Feet x 40-Feet Rectangular In-Ground Winter Pool Cover

Fall 2019: I bought this because of the low price and it’s a breeze to install. I’ll eat my hat if it last eight years. But I just needed to keep leaves and pine needles out of my pool during the winter months. For that it works great. It is in no way a safety cover and a fallen tree branch would probably poke a hole in it.Spring 2020 Update: After a moderate winter, the cover did the basic job of keeping debris out of the pool, But a couple wind storms ripped half a dozen grommets out of the cover and that allowed the tarp to develop long rips and worn spots. It was not salvageable for a pool cover, although I was able to cut it up in sections and use those to drag leaves to the street and cover some other smaller things... so not all was lost.Overall, it will last only a year or two as a pool cover. But considering the price, I could buy a new one of these tarps every year for 20 years and still spend less than I would on a "real" pool cover.Fall 2020:Ordered a new one for this fall/winter. The only thing I would add is that the tarp’s grommets cannot take very much tension. If you are going to drape this over something and lightly secure it with rope or bungee cords it will do fine. But if you need to put any tension on the tarp or pull it tight, the grommets will start to pullout within minutes.

good price and big enough for my pool. Use for couple months. very good for Sydney's weather.

Bought the 20 x 40 size for my in-ground pool. The tarp is extremely thin, but was hoping for the best since they have an 8 year pro-rated warranty. Install went as expected. Unfortunately, 6 months later, the tarp ripped in several places as I was opening the pool for the summer. Warranty claim requires shipment back to the manufacturer in the US. Shipping costs were excessive, so its going straight into the garbage. Lesson learned. DO NOT BUY.

Good quality and does the trick for a pool cover

Only filters light for one season.Have to replace yearly
