This item is much larger than expected. It's very sturdy, although once it's about half full, there is no moving it, so make sure it's in place before filling much. It's impossible to move using the supplied hook-holds, so we simply rolled it away from the patio door toward the edge of the pool and emptied it directly into the pool, then draped it over the patio chairs to dry before rolling it up and storing it away. For such a large item, it stores away fairly compact. We are please with its performance, it def keep water from getting past it.
