I don't know much about covers, it is just fabric, so I felt I needed the foam cover over the hottub to hold it up.

I haven't used it around an in ground pool. When applying the surface must be dry. After it dries it will withstand anything you can throw at it. Mine has lasted a year and a half so far. Rain, snow, ice. It has persevered. I don't see why it would not work well for your purpose.

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

...it has a slight tendency to 'slide around a bit' in a strong wind, but it seems surface tension always kept it on the pool. If you wanted to, I suppose you could install a few grommets, and tie it off at the corners of the pool. It is a pretty decent cover, and it does work well, by the way....

I'm sure you could fasten something to the edges of the pool and the cover (similar to how the cover would attach to the cover reel). I don't think there is much of a need for that however. A little bit of water always seems to come on top of the cover to weigh it down on top of the "suction" the cover and water create together. It's a great cover for the price, even compared to more expensive covers. Good luck

No, that is the size but I can't imagine why you'd want it not in complete contact with the water. When exposed to the sun the water keeps the plastic from overheating (by exchanging the heat of the plastic into the water) thus preventing the plastic from rapid deterioration. If your having trouble with the plastic blowing off of the covered pool you might try weighting the plastic down with something, perhaps an un-coiled garden hose?

Yes I do use a cover it is also a rectangular intex cover that fits snugly down over he sides of the pool. And we just used clear plastic for underneath the pool and spread sand onto the plastic, seemed to work real well for us.

It will work, just not as well. The biggest robber of heat from your pool is actually the wind, not the outside temperature. So 4 feet of exposed area is not going to completely negate having the cover, but also not as good as it could be. Hope that helps.

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.

Hi there - I'm not certain if it can be used outside. Since it does contain a plug-in heating pad inside the cushion, my concern would be that the electric cord would come into contact with water. Something to think about . . . I did see other pads in Amazon that are made for outdoor use. Why not take a look at those? Good luck!

unless you are going to use it in the garden after hydration on the cover, it would be a waste of money. And once hydrated on the cover you would have to have a method of removal that wouldn't damage the pool cover.

Well, the covering is a plush type carpet so I would say no. Unless you plan to re-cover it with a type of turf or rug type carpet, I would not expect it to do well outside

Good Afternoon Mr. FisherThank you for your interest in our product. The item that you are inquiring about is designed to accomplish three things. The first is to retain the heat, secondly, increase the water temperature, and lastly to prevent water evaporation. It is recommended that the cover remains on the pool any time that it is not in use. The instance in which the cover should not remain on the pool is when chemicals have been added to prevent deterioration of the items integrity.

I would not recommend using this blanket as a waterproof tarp. A tent or tarp over the bed may be the best option. Moisture does bead and roll off the blanket. And the blanket is quite warm for colder temps. Size may be an issue too. I am not sure what an outdoor bed is, so I feel I am not qualified to answer this question.

Definitely not! It's just a plastic housing with a couple screws holding it together. If you were to put it under a plastic outlet cover or something, it might be fine near the pool. But it wouldn't survive immersion or splashing by any means.

you don't want to cut it since it drapes over the sides a bit..by doing that, any rainwater is caught on the cover and you can slowly pull cover off without getting any debris in the pool with the water.
