I was wondering if anyone had a plan to make a reel for a solar blanket? 20X16 oval above ground but has a deck built around it.

Make a reel? Reels come in all sizes and quality levels. They also come designed for in-ground and above-ground pools, and even for round and oval pools, where they swing away.
I'm on my second. My first had the plastic ends, rollers and cranks and fell apart after 3 years. My current one had metal frames at the ends, with ball bearings and seems to be indestructible after about 5 years, looking like it's not going to fail anytime within the foreseeable future.

I am looking for a reel for our solar cover for our 21x43 AGP. Can you tell me what brand and/or where you bought yours or put up a link to where I could shop them out? Thanks

There are a number of on-line retailers. That IS a wide cover you need. Try Specialty Pool Products as one and Poolsupplies dot com as another, but there are many more.
