I was originally going to buy the feherguard, it's a relatively easy system to use with or without a deck.
The surface rider sits across the center of a round pool or about 1/4 in from one end on an oval pool., you connect the straps straight down onto the cover so when you roll it up it will fold the blanket in teh middle (on a round pool) and roll it up folded on itself.
You then need two people - one on each end - to lift up the reel and carry it off the end of the pool and set it down on the ground/deck.
I was going to buy their Premium one since it is MUCH better in design, it comes with female receivers you fasten to the top rail where it sits, you can then lift out one side and swing it out of the way and rest it in a 3rd receiver you mount on the deck at the appropriate location. If you do not have a deck, install a 4x4 post cut at the same height as the top rail at the appropriate point off the pool - mount a third receiver on it and set the the male end back into it.
The nice thing about the premium is it's a one person removal compared to 2.
Oh, BTW - The way to install it off to one end is to use 2 more 4x4 posts at the right spacing off the sides of the pool - let me try and draw something up on this......back later with pic attachment....
