Welcome to the Monty site! I looked into a cover this year and decided on a 30' by 60' tarp just because the cost of the covers was twice as much. I just put it on with help and tied it by a rope. It has been very windy and it has held up well. However, I think the covers are made from thicker material, so you probably get what you pay for, but this does work. The goal for me is to just keep the leaves and UV rays to a minimum. I will say once I buttoned it up it seems I immediatly started finding evidence of mice. So, I am now on a new quest.
