Frustration With Pool Covers, where to buy them?

Matt from Henderson

Hi everyone, just a quick message. I brought one of those bestway 10 foot round pools a while back. Now I am in searching to find a pool cover for my pool at home. I went to Mega Mitre 10 Lincoln Road to get one which was advertised online. The lady I spoke to said that the ones they had were left of the 10ft pool covers were at another store called Hauraki Ranges. They apparently had 9-10 in stock. Too far to travel plus I don't have a car. I went to Para Rubber to enquire the same thing. I received a answer phone message yesterday saying that they had completely ran out of the 10ft covers for these pools as well.

This does not make sense to me. You buy the pool but the pool cover of your size pool in not in West Auckland or in another part of the country. Very silly in my mind. All well, gonna buy a tarpaulin for the pool. Has anyone had similar issues with pools or pool covers as such?
