The plastic goes chalky, then brittle, and eventually a heel or a piece of deck furniture puts a crack through it. A cracked lid is worth changing quickly, both because someone can step through it and because the opening is no longer covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting the right one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkimmer lids are one of the easiest parts to order wrong, since a dozen models use a round lid of roughly the same size.
