We are thinking of ordering an 18' pontoon cover. Our boat has no support poles....are the necessary? We are concerned the water will pool.

Mine didn't fit, so I never used it. I have the same problem of trying to keep the snow off. Sorry I wasn't help on this one!

First I suggest buying a foot bigger it runs a little small. I don't have the support poles either so I went and bought some PVC pipe and made my own. Once I did that water didnt pool up.

If the boat sits out in the open you will need the support poles otherwise it will fill up with warer

You will need center supports the cover it self is nice and heavy I'm very happy with mine

yes i made my own out of pvc pipe it looks like a old covered wagon but works good and stays dry

We have a mooring cover and then put this over the mooring cover. Water goes still goes through both of them and our mooring cover is only l year old. Your best bet is to get sunbrella mooring cover made in Amish country, Erb`s Tap Shop and then you won`t get water in the pontoon. We`ve had 3 or 4 mooring covers made there and they are really reasonable and work good. The one we have now came new with our new pontoon and soon we will have them make us a new mooring cover.

Well honestly I bought this one for my Hot tub so I don't need the pole. However I will say that this is very sturdy so what ever pole is sturdy too would be a good match!! It really is an awesome skimmer. :)

You will need a foot and half more on each side, for poles and boards. We love our pool and very glad we bought it. The picture shows pool sides are on ground but it actually says to put on boards.

No , you need to get one of their Metal Frame sets. They are designed for cover, filters, etc. Much nicer pools for adults and young children. This of for infants/babies and has no support structure to attach anything to. Their frames sets are stable unlike this junk.

The sections should match up to the support posts holding your pool. I believe this kit covered just over half of my 18' pool.

I know what you mean. We have ours along a metal fence around our pool. I used three black heavy zip ties to secure the pole to the post. The posts are square sided, about 2" per side. I also used the bottom sections of the previous lamp posts for a little extra height (about a foot or so). We get apocalyptic force winds around our area so we need to secure them as much as possible. Other than that, they're very nice. Good luck.

Sorry mate not sure what a pontoon fishing chair is but as long as you can place the cover over the chair it will do the job. we are very happy with the quality and fit if you send me your email address I am willing to send you some pictures of our cover over the chair. just measure the chair and look at the product meaurements and as long as they match, happy days.

Thanks anyway. I found the item at West Marine and was not inclined to use. (Not heavy enough for me) I'm going to fiberglass and reuse the bronze/brass fitting that came with boat which is in perfect condition.

Hi Karen yes it might bunch a little? I have a 27ft by 16ft pool and you need two people to reel the cover up keeping it straight. Also if you have the choice go with a metal handle my plastic handles that attached to the pole broke. Good luck with your purchase.

when the pool is full the supports are no more than 2 feet. Probably but 18 inches. You

A large or small propane tank may be used. We use ours on the pontoon with a regular grill sized tank of propane. You will need the correct hose to connect. Purchased ours at Lowe's. Or you can use the small camping size propane and attach directly to the grill connector.

I am sure this would tip over when the boat starts moving. You would be best served looking for another option. That's my opinion anyway. Good Luck!

Your solar cover should be fine. We have a 12 mil for a 16x28 pool. My 8 year old can roll it up and 12 yr old helps me lift it completely off when needed. If to a second post, my 8 yr old can do this too. Only recommendation is to buy a 'clip' or two for each end as the liner likes to unroll both at the same time. The aluminum rod is light weight but seems very strong.

I guess there's enough attachments for it, but it would probably make it to heavy to float at that point. They make bigger poles that float so you don't have to do that.

I don't really know...I don't have a 22' pontoon boat.... but what I have is a 18' tent trailer and I place it in the place where the kitchen table sits. This area is probably a 3 x 3 foot spot and it works fine for the wife.

We live in Miami and have fairly windy days in the summer with heavy rain. We have installed our canopy using aircraft cable to trees at the perimeter of our yard, tightened up with turnbuckles and removable using lockable steel caribiners at the canopy corners. We just didn't want the look of giant poles, so our canopy looks more like a floating sail overhead. :-) Also, if you use a post you actually need to sink the poles deeper than 3 feet...the rule of thumb is 1/3 below ground, 2/3 above. So for a sail mounted 8' high, you would need a 12' pole with 4' buried. Steel pipe 3.5-4" is recommended, especially for bigger sails in a windy area.

You will need a pump. This has a separate air bladder and shell. The bladder requires some pressure to make the boat still, and you cannot blow enough pressure with your lungs to do a good job. I bought a different brand of pump because it was cheaper. It works well, but the fit on the valves is a little tight, so I recommend you purchase the Advanced elements brand pump. Read the instructions before unpacking. Follow the instructions. With the presure right, the inside acts as a backrest, and the paddling effort is ok. If it is too soft, no back support, and paddleing is rather slow. Follow the instructions, and it is a nice compromise of cost, convenient storage, and efficiency. You will need a pump.
