what to do with old worn out pool covers

[mariane]

I have several old torn worn out pool covers and was wondering what others have done with them. I have used one or two for covering patio furniture but don't need that many for furniture. LOL
Seems like there must be something else I can do with them besides tossing in the trash. I have to replace them every 3-4 years and have also acquired several from my sister when she tore down her pool.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Cut them up and use for landscaping fabric in flower beds?

Lol. Timely thread. I just put my new cover on today and when it flattens itself out in a day or two I'll cut it.

Here's what I intend on doing... I'm going to keep the old ratty one stored. And it's what I'm going to use for the first few weeks after I open... That way i can just leave it on all the time even when I'm adding chemicals or slamming and not have to worry about the cover getting damaged.

If I had read this a few days ago when I was doing my landscaping I might have taken woodyp's idea though. Oh well.

Fingaling: Is this a solar cover or winter cover? Mine are winter covers. I like that idea for our solar cover.

Too funny. :jocolor:

Yes. Mines a solar cover. I haven't had to replace a winter cover yet.
