At first I had bought a blue Bestway Plabne at the hardware store for a few Euros. The quality of these plans can be described as deficient (was therefore a waste of money). Due to another review here on Amazon, I decided to order this tarpaulin for our pool. The quality of this Intex Plane is really very good - no comparison with the cheaper and after unpacking and cheap-looking blue "crumbs Plane" from Bestway. For this, the Intex Plane is dark and therefore makes the water a little bit warmer and one (s) may these plans even alone on the (3.05 meters) Pool cuffs. Therefore, a strong buy recommendation on my part.
