The pool cover works as intended, seems durable, and was relatively easy to install. You are going to need the proper tools, but with a good hammer drill, it isn't too hard. The only negative of the installation is that they don't include a drill-hole diagram. This means you need to measure the entire cover precisely from strap to strap, and drill your holes that way. The good news is, since the straps feed through the springs and are adjustable, you can be off by a bit and still get a good fit.
