How does this fit around the top of the pool? do you have to tie it down? clips? snaps?

It has a tethered rope that runs along the outside edge that you can tighten once it is on.

It's not very impressive. It does not truly fit the 8 foot pool, and just floats in the middle of the water.
1732206
It just floats, it is the exact size of the pool. The edges sort of tuck under the inflatable ring along the top.

It doesn't fit over the edges, it is just a circle cut to lay just inside the rim so that it rests on the pool water itself and floats. If you're hoping to use it as a pool cover too in order to prevent debris, then carefully consider the amount of debris and type. My pool is under a covered patio and I still prefer the separate pool cover that goes all the way around the rim and is secured by a draw string.

This is simply a solar cover to heat the water. It sits on top of the water with no ties clip or snaps. It's primary design is not to keep debris out of the pool, but to warm it.

I used it for something other than a pool cover, however I can tell you it does not come with any clips, snaps or ties.

It just sets on top of the water. It's pretty windy here though and it stays put just due to the water clinging to it

This cover just sits on top of the water. You need to get one the same size diameter or smaller than your pool. Laying flat like it does, the wind never seems to be able to get underneath it. Just vision, Blue Industrial Strength Bubble Wrap. Heats the pool up nice, helps keep the warmth in at night. Even helps with chlorine retention.

There is a nylon cord that is sewn in around the perimeter similar to a hooded sweatshirt. On our pool, we've tied it once when we first put it on and ever since then we've just stretched it on and off. hasn't budged so far. Note, that keeping a couple of those cheap foam noodles underneath it when it is on is a big help.

Just the top needs to be anchored in, the bottom comes with bumpers and rest against the side of the pool

It's round Dana. It's a good idea to order a size smaller than your pool so the solar cover doesn't interfere with your ladder and the skimmer basket. Or you will have to cut to make that adjustment. We never had to cut at all with ours.

I agree that one does not HAVE to screw this into the pool top rail. However, you will need several people to roll it up, as another person suggested. I'm thinking that if one is clever enough, you could figure out how to clamp it on. The only problem is that a clamp may interfere with the handle, unless you only clamp one end. The other problem with clamping is that there isn't much of a surface to clamp. But, like i said, if one was clever enough, you might be able to find a way to do it.

...it has a slight tendency to 'slide around a bit' in a strong wind, but it seems surface tension always kept it on the pool. If you wanted to, I suppose you could install a few grommets, and tie it off at the corners of the pool. It is a pretty decent cover, and it does work well, by the way....

Hi Tyson! We have a security fence around our pool. We have a nylon rope tied to the fence and use an inexpensive carbeener to link the two together. I will take a pic and upload later so you can see what I mean. It works awesome!!

It does stay upright using the stakes and tie down. However if you have a large concrete apron around you pool you might have trouble using the stakes for the tie down.

Yes. It fits an 18' metal frame, round pool. Has zip closures for each or every other post. Along with pull string tie

Yes it attaches around the top with Velcro, then the sides are elastic and just tuck around. I like mine.

There is no loop at the top of the liner. The liner lays over top of the pool wall, the plastic clip goes over that to hold the liner to the wall, the metal frame fits over the plastic clip and lastly the top edging goes on last. Does that help?

We lift our ladder out of the pool when we cover it. It can easily be cut. Easy to pull back onto pool but we use two people to make it easier. Otherwise you just walk around pool and adjust it. To keep in place, we tie rope crisscrossed over pool but I am looking into bungee cords.

If you lay it out flat on the ground, you'll see some of the holes in some of the areas. Feed the string through the holes around the outside - not back and forth across. Then just kinda pull the cover over the pool. If you have two people it's easier. Once on the top of the pool, pull the strings tight and loop them under the corners. It's really and not very friendly design...

It is supposed to fit tightly. I got a size larger than my usual size, but now I wish I had not. When it is wet it stretches a bit. A friend of mine got her usual size and it fit well. I would advise you to buy your usual size. I hope this helps. By the way, I love this product. I do aquatic exercise, and the pool isn't always as warm as I would like, but this makes a big difference.

I have it for a larger pool but it does not attach to the sides. The only thing is if it is not filled with water it can be a bit unstable.

Darissa it just lays on top, no hooks. It does what it is supposed to do, keeps things from floating in your pool while not in use, also helps warm your pool. I use this cover and recommend it. Great summer cover. Hope my answers help.

It has plastic ring holes on the pool and plastic rods on the hood that snap in to the holes. It attaches securely and I've used it with and without the hood.
