Pros
- Cut for a 12×24 oval metal-frame pool specifically — the wall type is in the option name, which no scrim cover on this page offers
- The cheapest fabric cover for a 12×24 oval, about $76, against $90 for its own steel-wall cut and about $100 for the UIRWAY
Cons
- Buy the RIGHT CUT: the steel-wall 12×24 sits one line below in the same menu at $89.99, wider for the rim — on a steel-wall pool this one will run short
- Must be weighted or anchored at the edges and the listing never says so
- Its rating is the LISTING's pooled score across 38 sizes and shapes, not this cut's — see the ratings note
The same coating failure as the UIRWAY, and it leads the tail: the top critical review is a 1-star titled "Melts/sticks to itself/black marks on pool", posted with video. Then the seams — "after 2 months the tape that seals over the joint stitching wore out and started to come loose", "leaking at the seams on top" at 33 days, and an owner who worked out that "the seams start to stretch and allow the water to seep in". Third, water pooling: "it settles water a lot when rain falls", and when you pull the cover off, most of that water ends up in the pool. Consistent with the anchoring catch we already publish rather than replacing it.

Record
- — Carded as the 12×24 metal-frame oval cut so a reader lands on the exact size and wall type; the pooled listing rating is declared on the card.
✓ Safety: no active recall — Winter/debris cover — NOT a safety cover: holds no weight and carries no ASTM F1346 rating; never let a child or pet onto it. CPSC recall API checked 2026-09-04 (saferproducts.gov, ProductName=QH.HOME) → 0 records; class query "pool cover" returns only Endless Pools #25339 (retractable safety cover, 2025) and Anchor Industries #16732 (safety covers, 2016) — both a different product class, opened and confirmed.
