What if the pool cover does not have any holes? 16 feet

Honestly, I don't "get " your question. But I think you're talking about the holes manufactured into the cover. First, it'd be like covering up a ballon second, more debris can get in the pool. Then third, I think if it steams diring summer, it might balloon up and pop off the top. Hope that helps.

Probably. I have a 21 foot pool and the cover I got is much bigger than 21 feet around. It is a good quality cover. Hope that helps.

My pool is an 18 FT round the cover was a little big and I did have to trim it.

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.

You would have to find a 30 ft pole to roll the cover. You need a deck, since this is for in ground pools.

The description says 25 feet, but I don't think the one I have is that long. It's about 12-15 feet, plenty to reach from the center of the cover to the edge of the pool.

A smaller cover will almost work as well as a big cover to keep the pool warmer and to help lower evaporation rates. It would still be better to get a slightly too big cover to keep dirt/bugs/debris out of pool. All the mess on the 15' cover will fall in the 16' pool when you take the cover off.

I don't really think it matters that much. I haven't tucked mine under anything, and the worst thing that will happen with it not being a tight fit, is that some debris could get into your pool.

This not true. We got a flimsy small cover. It barely 6" extra with to cover all around the pool. According to this pic I should have had 15" drop all around the pool. Also the cover faded away due to chlorine and sun exposure. I'm still looking for a sturdy cover. I am not sure may be I got a wrong shipment from INTEX.

There isn't anything to attach the cover to. You could put Velcro on the edge of a tarp and the sides of the pool, maybe. You could just lay a tarp on top, but the wind would blow it off.

It will work if you can keep the pump at angel, if not the pool cover will stuck to the bottom of the pump. I was thinking to rig a round metal mesh to put at the bottom of the pump so the pool cover will not stick to it.

Maybe. My pool is 6ft at the deep end, inground. Pool length is 29ft. I think size, not depth, is a bigger factor.

I have the 18 ft cover and an Intex pool, the cover touches all the sides with a couple of inches left over. I never trimmed mine, as it finds it way down naturally and lays pretty flat. I am not sure if a 15 ft cover would be as generous as this one, if it were, I would say you are probably safe. I have a lot of bunching up in areas that aren't laying flat. Ironically, that is where the water is the warmest. Just know, personally, I think trimming it would be a pain. It is a very large piece of plastic and even standing in the pool, as you cut, you might end up with those little bubble pieces.

Yes my pool is 16' x 32' and I was able to make work. This size pool would be no problem

First, this is almost a perfect cover. It easily and securely attaches to the pool frame, and it is made of sturdy material. However, as you suspected, it has those #&^%)!#! holes, but this fault can be remedied. We had a lot of crap in the pool this spring, and ended up having to replace the water. I cleaned up the cover and taped up the holes on both sides with Gorilla tape. I should have done it when I first bought it. Other than that, it's a great product, and hopefully with the holes sealed up it should help preserve our pool water this next winter.
