    I had my wife do this two years ago and she just said “ok what’s the big deal?” I had just spent all spring getting the yard in shape.

  2. I think this might have more to do with chlorine instead of just the cover being on the grass. Maybe not, but it would super heat the ground which would be ok for most grass.

    Same thing happens with the kids slip ‘n slide – definitely not chlorine damage.

    Zone 8a hybrid bermuda here. We had a flip cup slip and slide party for 4 years straight in our yard before kids. Used dawn dish soap and it was a 20×10 brown rectangle at the end of the day. Apparently dishsoap acts as a surfactant and a a week after fertilizer it was the greenest thickest patch in my yard.

    Similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago, daughter had some blow up sun tanning pool she bought herself from Temu and it cooked my lawn underneath it. Took the grass about 3 weeks to outgrow the dead stuff,

    Same thing happened to my lawn….except it was aliens and my butt is sore.

  7. I left the backwash hose out once and had a 2” line on the grass for weeks.

    Slip and slides do the same thing just a heads up

    I’m actually curious if that greens back up. I assume it would. My Bermuda did (well, it was just a spot covered for a day or two that yellowed out), but it’s Bermuda.

    Maybe this is a more efficient way to perform soil solarization…

  11. Man, this is a great opportunity to make a perfectly round firepit lol

  12. Wonder if it would work as well on weeds. I HATE dallis grass!

  13. Alright that’s crazy that it did that in an hour

    But honestly when I move shit off the grass I just think about how my kid had a blast playing with it and that makes me feel good. Having a soft lawn to play in is ideal, but if they fuck it up, they had a good time, and that’s the most important thing

    Did something similar with my truck’s bed mat. Set it on the ground for an hour and it looked like this after. Parents were not happy.

    Wish there was a pool cover big enough for my whole yard.

  16. Your dog doesn’t remember taking a piss that big lol

  17. Lots of gassing off from the pool that collects and condensates onto the cover. Flipped or rinsed off and it would happed as harshly
