Swimming Pool Solar Reel Protective Cover for Pools up to 18' Wide - Poly Tarp Swimming Pool Solar Blanket Protective Cover - Reel Protective Cover for Pools - Winter Cover (Cover Only)

***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.

Seems like a good product, only piece I would improve is the velco pieces are placed 2/3rds away from the end and they were not able to be used on mine due to the size of the rolled cover. Maybe they can provide velco ties to wrap around the cover as I had to use bungie type ties.

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.

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.
