Pool Skimmer Net - Dual-Layer Mesh - 20 in - Aluminum | Extra Large Frame, ABS Coated Edges, Deep Bag Design, Fits Standard Telescoping Poles, Spas And Ponds, Side Guard Panels

It is big, wide and has a deep net. Takes a little more effort to move, but captures so much in one pass, it's worth it.

I repurchased this same net after using the last one continuously for 8 years. The only reason I purchased a new one is that the old one had a small tear in the net that allowed debris to get through. Quality net for a great price.

Love this net! When my pools get insanely full of leaves there is nothing that will clean the pool quicker! The 17.5 inch nets took FOREVER. this one is no time at all! It is a bit harder to move but thats understood from the increase of drag from the size of the net. Only one thing I would change. The material of the net is easily ripped so switch to the window screen type material... and decrease the spacing in between strands as it allows very fine particles of debris to go through it. Of course this will increase drag again. But wow. I love this net!! If your pool is ALWAYS full of leaves, this should be your first choice!

Catches alot, easy to clean

There are many more reviews on the 18" FibroPRO than on this one, so I was hesitant to purchase the larger one, but I'm glad I did.I was concerned that this 24" behemoth might be too big and unwieldy to handle, but not at all. It is no more cumbersome than the average 18" net, yet the capacity is much greater and the extra width is a blessing. I often blow my yard debris into the pool and then skim it out. Having an extra 6" of width makes the skimming much faster. It's also great for grabbing those long palm frond strings that tend to quickly overwhelm smaller nets. The dimensions of the opening at its widest points are 22.25" x 10.75".Construction-wise, this net can hold it's own against any I've used. The aluminum frame is sturdy and strong. The mesh seems to be very well double stitched. The additional protective mesh layer seems to be causing some confusion, but it works something like this: the net itself is very soft and malleable - not like the window screen style mesh that some other nets use. It is more like soft nylon that ball/equipment storage bags are made of. On pools like mine that have lots of rock landscaping and Pebble Tec, the soft net would be prone to snagging on things, so there is a protective half net partially attached to the front. This protective net has roughly 2" of stronger screen-like gusseting near the leading edge of the leaf rake, then the rest is a larger-holed mesh that is only attached on the sides. Kind of like an apron. It has no functional value other than to protect the rest of the net. It is not sewn together on the bottom, so cleaning out anything trapped between the layers is never a problem. Really quite an ingenious design.I can't yet comment on the long-term durability of this purchase. I live in Las Vegas where the sun pretty much destroys everything. I keep my brushes and vacuums in a shed, but my nets generally hang on a shaded wall outside. So we'll see how it holds up over time.

The few negative reviews on this almost made me not buy it but I am so glad I tried it. I wish I knew about this leaf catcher 20 years ago it can hold so much more. I've been trying to do it with a flat one for years which was easy on top but very hard down deep. I got about 10 bags of leaves of this size which is WAY more than my Polaris can collect spending hours and hours in the pool. finally to those people who thought the net was not properly sewn together notice in my pictures if you just turn it inside out it will now catch the leaves just fine. it needs to have one part not sewn together so that the leaves that fall into the middle can easily come out later when you're dumping them in case they got between the two layers of mesh. so it is by design not faulty manufacturing that a part of the netting is not sewn together. Also notice when you turn it over one way the lip more easily scoops up leaves than the other side by the angle of the lip. see my pictures (the last one is my old net with a hole for comparison)

The net detached from the frame pretty early on. Worked maybe 4 or 5 months. It was good while it lasted.

We purchases this net 2 yes ago and it’s still holding up strong in the Arizona heat. It’s sun faded but still in perfect condition and no holes in the net! The pole itself I bought elsewhere didn’t last as long. Great product.
