I'm trying to get another winter or two out of my safety-mesh, which has a hole somewhere between the size of a of golf ball and a racket ball in one panel. But we've put out so much on re-modeling that putting off spending another thousand on the cover before I have to is tough.

We expanded the pool deck on the east end. Not a lot but now we can put a couple of lounge chairs in the enclosure, where we couldn't before. It also covers the pump and filter but the access is OK. So I had to install deck anchors for the cover replacing the edge anchors at that end.
