Our cover has been rolled on the reel and sitting on the end of our oval pool for over a month now (I now know that's a bad thing). So we want to unroll it and lay it out on the driveway (concrete) and spray it off real good and let it dry before we fold it up and bungee it for the winter (will store in the basement of the house). Can the solar cover lay on concrete to dry or will that damage the cover/driveway? Thanks for answering probably a dumb question from a newbie pool owner.

You wouldn't think it should damage anything, but make sure there are no oil or chemical spills on the concrete before laying it out. You wouldn't want to end up with something that will melt the cover or end up in the pool eventually.

It should only take about 1/2 hour to dry the top side, then just pull it over itself half way, this should dry half the other side and the concrete it was lying on, then flip it to the dry spot, and everything should be good half an hour later.
Concrete and cover should be fine I do mine on the grass or the gravel driveway
