I have an 18X18 space to cover, will the cover stretch much, or should I get a smaller 16X16 and stretch it as much as possible?

I wouldn't purchase a smaller size! It doesn't stretch! I would purchase the size you need!

Hello , the ideal size you would want is a 17x17 if it will be directly attached to the house. 16-16.5 if you need hardware on 4 corners Hope this helps. this has helped many people. http://backyardcity.com/Shade-Sails/Shade-Sails-Installation.htm

you need a small one as you have to install the hardware on each sides as well...you may check youtube for some tips on how to install the shades

Sure...let me get by tape measure...basically, plan for 16.5" cubed, and you'll have breathing room. 16" is cutting it close.

I had a 16" mattress, and the cover fit, so I suggest a smaller casing (7-12") if you want a snug fit.

Don't do it. I have a 17' and used the 18' and it didn't fit right and now it's messed up

I would get the large size. It's gonna be a tight fit. Try boiling it a few minutes in water. That will make it stretch better.

I think you should be okay. The fabric is nice a soft, so it might stretch just a bit.

If I were you I would go with the next size up for fuller coverage. We have a 17' bass boat with center console and it fits just right with the chairs removed. It won't quite fit over the motor, and I wish it did. I wouldn't take my boat down the road with this cover on.

The cover(s) worked out very well with our 16" tires, and these could probably have even gone an inch bigger, as there is still room. Hope this helps!

I recommend the 17-inch. It's not cumbersome, yet allows space on the edges so you can easily grab it and move it around. I think the 15-inch would just feel too small.

obviously there will be some slack because of your dimensions. this is a great temporary cover. it will last you about a year for a waterproof cover, then a water repellent after that. the sun will break it down quickly. id recommend a good fabric sealer to spray on it.

I made mine 12'' wide by 24'' long. I don't see why 16x16 would be a problem. Just make sure it's secured to the wall well. These are really sturdy

I would definitely say go with the 18". Unless you have long legs the 20" might be too much of a stretch and end up being rather uncomfortable

go with the 18 you will be glad you did, not sure if this is new to you but make sure you pump the water off the cover all but maybe an inch. I learned the hard way an inch keeps the wind from getting underneath any more than that well lets just say the more water on the cover the less in your pool.

I would love to help you but I purchased a 16 x 20 to fit a 11x 14 matted print. I can tell you the frame is awesome.

I was able to cover 8ft by 12ft area with no problem, and I was making large thick cones. I'm sure I could have covered a much larger space if I had wanted to stretch it out more.

Dear Rose, the 18' is a little big on the 16' pool but works great, by far the best cover I've bought, and I've bought several.

It would cover most of it but it would not be a proper fit. The 18 foot cover I got was totally round. Imagine putting a 10 foot round table cloth on a 10 foot by 5 foot rectangular table. That is about what you would be doing.
