    Thanks again, Tenax. I looked at the website, but the widest they have is 20 ft.

    Our pool is 14' width at the narrowest swim point, and 22' width, if I measure into the grotto from the near side raised beam. There's also a gradient beach entry, which makes the shape even stranger.....probably going to need a 30' foot width if I use one piece to cover the entry and opposing grotto further down the pool.

    Is there any disadvantage in having 2- half pool covers? Maybe I could economically (without delving into the custom-cover netherworld) cover the odd shapes with 2 regular covers, turned sideways and cut to shape?

    I'm just worried about having 2 pieces and finding out later that the wind picks them up because of the seam.

    Thanks again,

    STS

    i won't know on the warranty, P, until i decide i need to use it nevertheless, if for 100 bucks it lasts 3 years, i'll be thrilled

    texas, i've seen other people talking about using multiple pieces and they don't seem to have an issue with it..i haven't myself, but i can say my cover has been through 70KM per hour winds during 2 rainstorms this year. there is a 2 inch gap around the entire edge of the cover and it sits about 2 inches below the edge of the pool at the waterline..so, i watched with great curiosity to see if it would be picked up..not a budge..the water "adhesion" seems quite able to overcome, even though the cover doesn't rest completely flat against the water at all points, all the time (it will have small ridges here and there when i put it back on everytime)
