storing solar cover on rail

[Nectarologist]

I use the pvc J hooks to store the cover (solar saddle). It works GREAT! I simply stand outside the pool and drag the cover over the rail and let it rest in the hooks. When I'm ready to get out I drag it over the rail and into the pool. Since you have a fence see how you could mount them to the fence. I have a 27' round pool. I do it by myself and my wife has if I'm not around. It's so easy I don't give it any thought. It makes a cumbersome and annoying task as easy as possible. I haven't tried rolling them but for me it seems quicker than rolling 4 sections of cover. Search for "Solar Saddle." It's expensive for what it is (simple pvc) but it will last and last. I couldn't be hapier. With what you describe just make sure you pull the cover up as you fold it so the water drains off. If I didn't have the solar saddle I would cut the cover into 4 as suggested. I hadn't thought of that. I have a large deck area on one side so I'd probably just stack them rather than roll but it's a very clever idea and may be your best opton if you can't secure the solar saddle to the railing (or don't want to use it). Watermom's method is much cheaper than the solar saddle. Good luck!

The solar saddle looks interesting. But, my 4 month old golden retriever puppies would have a party with that! I'm sure they would chew it up. But, it may work for someone else. Thanks for sharing!
