Works great to catch the neighbors big leaves that seem to gravitate over into my pool. Being hurricane season & remembering the years past after storms would come thru.. I ordered this leaf net to save myself a headache. Storm came thru just as I put it on yesterday and wow at the time it saved me today because I didn’t have to get those leaves & sticks out of the bottom of my pool. A leaf blower took care of what was on the net. Little stuff still falls thru but the vacuum can handle that and not get clogged up. I did throw all my floaties in the pool to keep them from blowing away in these storms that are headed our way. No more chasing floaties down??‍♀️I’ll be Sharing this on my social media for friends who have pools and may not have come across this idea yet. I didn’t even know it existed until I spotted it on Amazon looking for a cover for the pool. I may be ordering another to put up incase this one gives out on me one day. I just need to get something proper to hold it down flat but for now these concrete blocks work for me. Mine was perfectly intact when it came..no holes or snags!
