Pool Cover Clips

[Steveromo]

Thanks for the reply -- and for not mentioning the typo's (I meant "newbie" and "taut.") ... my thinking is that a tightly-secured cover would not be threatened by high winds, and preventing puddles would mean less maintenance. The question then becomes, what is the best way to make the cover tightly-secured? Does anyone utilize this method? Does it work? If so, how do you accomplish it? Thanks again.

The only "tightly secured" covers I've seen are mesh. Those ARE tight, but they have 2000# test straps every 3' to 5'. If you stress a conventional water proof cover like that, you'll just rip it. If you want to look at the "safety covers", check out these two sites:
