my pool is 13x30 with a small wading area, can this cover be cut for this without ruining the cover?

yes, I cut mine, I recommend cutting it in a curve rather than a 90 degree cut if u must make a corner, this will reduce the chance of a tear

Yes. I would recommend a smaller size than 20x40. Use a 16x32 size so you have less to cut. Be sure to use a good razor knife and a straight edge. I have to slice about 6-8 inches as the blanket seems to always be 20.5 ft wide and I have to cut the extra inches off. Also be sure the knife blade goes all the way through the blanket. Pretty easy but go slow, once it's cut there is no do over.

Yes, it is easy to trim the cover to size. I recommend not trimming the end that connects to your roller. It messes up the rolling process. Keep that end straight, but the rest can be cut to match any shape pool without hurting the cover.

The hole should be cut in the pool already, you will need to cut the liner if it is a new liner. It can be cut easily with a sharpknife and I believe there are instructions on how to cut it. I hope this helps.

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.

No this would only cover part of your pool. It would be better to buy an oval cover.

Same answer as David. My pool is 32x14 and I cut it in 1/2. It makes it lighter to get out. No offence to women, but my wife can remove it when it's in 2 pieces. She said she couldn't do it if it was 1 piece. Plus: If it's one piece, it might end up bending or breaking the bars when you take the cover out of the pool.

You can cut any foam with a bread knife but you would hafta carefully re sew the cover back together afterward. Snap a chalk line on foam to keep cut straight. Good luck

If there were any seams, I cut them off to make the cover fit my kidney shaped pool. I don't see any indication that the cover can easily rip. Except for the problem of delaminating, the cover is durable, helps keep the pool clean, and greatly reduces evaporation.

I'm not really sure. Our pool is 12' by 28' and I had to cut the reel down by about 4' just to fit the concrete pad. So I'm fairly confident, considering how easily it handles our cover, that it could take any cover you could fit on it. It really seems very well made! We love it!!

Wouldn't see why not. Get the rectangular size that is sufficient to cover the entire pool. Lay it out flat over the pool. It will initially likely extend beyond the edges of your pool. Then using a pair of sharp scissors, you can trim it very easily as you follow the contour of your pool's edge. The cover we purchased was somewhat larger than the pool (ours is rectangular), so it was a matter following the outer edge of the pool with the scissors to obtain the perfect fit. Hope that helps.

you can cut it as I called the manufacturer and they said it would not void the warranty. However ours started falling apart after a couple of months. the edges just deteriated and started to tear every time we went to put it on or off the pool and the little air pockets all started to come off in little dots clogging the filter. We cut it up and threw it in the trash. Would not reccomend this product.

the "footprint" would be too small and would damage the pool!!! suggest that you use a 'shower mat' to protect the pool..

I have a 18 foot diameter pool and the 18 covers it perfectly. you could cut the 18 down.

No. It'll have an extra few inches on all sides so you can completely cover the pool and tighten the drawstring.Cheers!

It depends on the shape. If a rectangle the no you wouldn't but it might be a bit heavy to carry. I have a round 28 foot pool and cut it in half to make it easier to take off and put on.

We don't have a regular pool cover, but I don't see why not. You might want to find another place that sells them though just to ask that question. I'd hate for you to buy this on my say so and then find out it didn't work!

Not sure because the cover would be larger than the pad but I think the foam would be alright to cut just the cover would be larger. We returned ours because to smell was so strong even after months. It may air out in the summer but we got tired of waiting so we sent it back.

No instructions came with my cover. I think it depends on how much water is in the pool as to how snug it fits. The ends flapped a little but if you put the rope under each corner diagonally and straight across the sides it should fit good. Just make sure the rope is tied tight. I have the part that is tied on the long side, don't know if it makes a difference where it is or not.
