Have a 16ft. above ground pool, can't find one to fit the 16ft. pool. Should I get 15ft. or 18ft. with the overhang?

I'd get the 18ft so you can have some overhang and to make sure you don't get anything in the pool that you don't want in there.

I would get a whole different cover. We bought ours last year, we have trees above our pool that drop seeds. When the sun hit the pool the cover fell into shreds. It was floating in pieces on our pool? We had to open our pool in March.

Perhaps check where u got your pool. If not get bigger for sure. I don't recommend this specific product!!

I agree with the last two responses. Bigger is better for covers, so go with the overhang. And, I would, and will, find a better reviewed product since my cover started shredding after one winter/spring use.

Get the 18 Ft. with the overhang. I have a 24 ft. round and I like the overhang because I hang empty coffee and bleach containers filled with sand from it and it keeps the cover from sagging in the middle when there is snow or rain water on it. Hope this helps.

go with the 18 you will be glad you did, not sure if this is new to you but make sure you pump the water off the cover all but maybe an inch. I learned the hard way an inch keeps the wind from getting underneath any more than that well lets just say the more water on the cover the less in your pool.

We use it for an Intex above ground pool. It is a couple feet too big. The options were to cut it to fit or fold it over. Truthfully, laziness got the best of me and we just fold it to fit. I hope this answers your question.

Its good for any size above ground pool. Only if its big you need to leave it more time doing the job.It is very helpfull since you have to do less work.

We originally ordered a 15 ft. And returned it for an 18. We had to trim very little. We like the 18 as it helps keep leaves and grass from getting in pool and is easy to rinse off. I can't really answer the question you ask about warming the water

go to this link for poolskim and at the bottom you will need to purchase either the 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch adapter depending on your return size. It was worth every penny no more floating leaves in my pool http://www.poolskimusa.com/install.htm

No, it's not going to reach all the way across your pool. The top of my pool is 15ft, and I use a 18ft cover, being a little big is fine. I just fold mine under, I don't believe you want to cut it.

Hello there! This pool cover is meant for 24' round pools. I would recommend going with PCO818 for a 16' pool.

I actually have 18x48 intex pool and it works for me. It has 50' clearance from the ground. I use the ladder that comes with the pool on the other side in the water. So this ladder's top step sits on top of the support pieces of the intex ladder. This way 2' gap is closed and they both sit on the pool wall. I also bought the widest plastic zip ties from Home Depot and secured both ladders to each other and to the pool wall. I have been using it for two pool seasons and so far so good. Also, the lock that comes with the enclosure is crap and it rusts after a few weeks. I would recommend buying a stainless steel one from hardware store.

I have a 16 also. Bought the 15 . It works fine for me. Just a tiny bit short that doesn't make a difference. Still keeps our pool warm!

We have 12ft. And yes we tuck it in bc it's not big enough to go over. It has worked fine for us this way. I think u have to buy one that is 3 ft bigger to fit over and I wasn't willing to spend the extra money. This cover works great we had a few real hot days it brought the temp in our pool up to 106F it was awesome.

Either one would work I suppose. I would personally go with the 18". We also have 2' overlap with that cover for our pool and we notice it keeps more of the bugs/dirt ect. out as it leaves no room for things to get in. Helps with preventing rain water from getting in and the water getting more cold.Just a thought!

I m not sure the brand of my above ground pool but it is a metal framed pool n the liner I bought worked great....I don't know if it matters the brand, what matters most I believe is the size ....just make sure u size it correctly so that u have enough liner to overlap the frame n so it ll fit right for it to go over the frame...mine sn 18ft pool n I bought an 18 foot liner and it fits over it perfectly. the gauge is also important as well, the higher the number the thicker the plastic and the better the liner will last .

This cover is intended for the 12 foot intex pools. I have a 12 foot and the cover fits perfectly, if your pool is 15 I could see it being way too small.

I would agree with Derek, but if cost is not an issue, I would go with the 16x32 and cut the side the two feet. I have mine on a reel and the extra 2 feet is rolled up. For ease of use, I would get a reel to roll the pool cover up. After I put my pool cover on a reel and my neighbors saw how easy it was to cover and uncover the pool they got a reel. Believe me, it makes using a pool cover a snap.

this cover is 18 feet it should be 18 give or take an inch. Sounds like its possible you have a 15 or 16 foot pool. to measure your pool go from wall to wall at the widest point.

I have a 24' round above ground pool,I ordered the 24' cover.it comes 28'. That is 24/28 foot Diameter,or the distance acrocc the cover.Circumfrence is the distance around the covers The extra 4 ft allows the cover to hang over the edge for a better fit and easy intsallation.

I have no clue about above ground pools but I would think it should work fine. It is of good quality and heavy enough to stay put. A little tricky to pull off so you would have to figure out a way to do that. We like the pool cover and use it in FL over the winter months. Don't use in the summer.
