Blue Wave 48-inch Peel and Stick Above Ground Pool Cove Foam, 19 Pack – Liner Protection & Floor Support – Made of High-Density Waterproof Foam – Easy to Install Above Ground Pool Accessories

This coving works great. The peel and stick tape was sufficiently sticky to adhere to the walls of my aluminum pool. The foam is not too firm where it won't bend into the corners, and not too soft where it gets crushed or doesn't hold its shape. It's easy to install.

Purchased these when installing an 18 foot above ground pool. There were more than enough pieces included to go around the inside. Several of the reviews mentioned them not sticking very well and recommended a spray adhesive which I already had in my garage but did not end up needing because I cleaned the wall with rubbing alcohol first where the adhesive would be sticking and had no problems.

Good product. I had a little extra for my 24' pool. Super sticky, stuck them to the pool wall and they never came loose.

Purchased and installed these recently. The product overall is great. Very easy to install and trim as needed when installing the last piece. Tip - Clean your pool walls with rubbing alcohol where the tape will make contact with the metal.. This will take any oil residue and dirt off the metal and give the tape a better bond. I did have an adhesion issue on 2 of the coves strips. I ended up just putting a piece of duct tape on each of those near the top portion that allowed it to be stuck to the wall until the liner was installed and I started to fill. The end result is a picture perfect cove that is durable. No way you could ever achieve this with sand. For those wondering, I ended up removing a full wheel barrow of sand from my pool ( 18' round replacement liner) that made up the old sand cove. I then spread some of the existing sand to the base of the foam cove to give a nice transition without any holes or gaps. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5: they need to make the tape stronger for a better bond.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I needed to replace the liner in my above ground pool after 20 years of service. As I did back then I installed cove base around the pool wall circumference over a bottom liner pad. Cove base is relatively inexpensive, easy to apply and cheap insurance for your pool liner. It serves as a gentle transition between vertical & horizontal eliminating most of the stress to the liner in that area. A good bottom pad shields the liner from any sharp stones or other items that may be present in the base material. These two items (I feel) were the main reasons I got so many years out of my pool liner.

works good

I read alot of reviews before ordering, many good and even more bad saying they didn't stick but I decided to order anyway. I was very happy, they all stuck well on our 24' above ground and were easy to work with, I also saw some pics and videos where they duck taped the seams between and did that also. I expect them to hold up well for years to come.

This is quite good. Performance is solid and quality is there. Just a small quirk that keeps it from 5 stars. Your mileage may vary.

Here's the skinny, had to take down old pool and new pool was ordered as was these Blue Wave cradle for the bottom. These are very kool as they keep a curveachure off the wall and bottom of pool. Next summer pool will go up. The foam will stay in place (sticky tape) as pool installers use packed sand and that washes away in time. Blue Wave foam is certainly the way to go.

Work very well

as expected

The fact that the pool liner Has a nice curve at the bottom instead of a 90' angle is amazing Peel and stick

The product was easy to install- especially compared to shaping sand. Only bad thing was that a few of the pieces seemed to have too little glue and did not want to stick easily.
