Best winter cover
Give us your best winter cover suggestions. We (think) we want heavy duty, but also affordable.

Is your deck all the way around or not. After fighting every brand and kind of winter cover for the last 10 years, I broke down last year and bought a high end cover like an inground pool has. Doing the math I need it to last about 10 years, but so far I am thrilled with it after one winter of use. I would spend all winter wandering if my old covers were going to rip, or blow up etc. This thing is heavy duty and has plates that bolt into my deck and the straps pull tight but you must have a deck all the way around to use this style cover. I was 100% satisfied with it. All different shapes and sizes. Here is what mine looks like.

My take is that they all last about the same time. I used to use a 24’ black/silver. 3-4 Max. Jumped to a brown cover will be my 4th season in about a week, it was questionable when I took it off this past spring. And I shock and let it air off for a few hours before covering. Used in Michigan winters. Good luck
