When they say "up to a pool 18' wide", this is not quite correct. What they mean is that the cover is exactly 18' long. I have an 18' wide pool, and the solar blanket fits it exactly, yet the cover only barely reaches both ends of the rolled-up blanket. It certainly does not completely cover the ends the way it is shown in the picture. I cannot get it even to reach both ends of the roll (see pictures). I would say this is for a 17' wide blanket at the most. It needs to be a minimum of 6" longer, probably a full 12" longer, to cover both ends of the blanket, as shown in the picture in the online ad. I only just received the cover, so I cannot speak to durability, it is certainly easy to use, and the Velcro strips are very useful to help keep the cover in place.
The picture is misleading, it is too short for an 18' wide blanket.
