storing solar cover on rail

[Watermom]

I already had pics showing what I did here on the forum in the following thread: Watermom's Solar Blanket Solution for her24' AG Pool.

Good luck. Like Al said, solar covers are a big pain for round pools but they retain SO much heat that it is worth the hassle. The way I have been doing it the past few years is pretty easy and manageable for just one person to take it on and off by themselves.

Those clips are nothing more than slices of the pipe. You can use a table saw, bandsaw, radial arm saw, miter saw or anything to give a clean straight cut. I think I made them about 3/8" wide. I then used a hand saw to cut a segment out of the circle. Use a half round file or coarse sandpaper to take off any sharp edges. The width of the clip and amount you cut out determines how much of a 'grab' it gives.

Edit: To attach the end caps all you need to do is smear some silicone seal on the pipe and tap the cap on. Since you don't have a pressure issue you don't need the PVC cement, all the joint has to be is waterproof.
