    When you roll up the cover, you need to cover it to protect it from the sun's UV and from heating up (it IS a greenhouse after all. Therefore you need a pool cover cover. I have a large white plastic sheet with velcro. Poconos uses old bed sheets.

    Whatever works.

    If you are refering to a winter cover...

    I am going to get a net to go over the winter cover, this way after the trees do their thing in the fall, I can remove the net and leaves and stuff and reinstall the net only to do it again in spring and hopefully save days of work cleaning the decomposing, smelly leaves off the winter cover before I attempt to remove it.

    If you are refering to a solar cover...

    I dont have the patience...on..off..on...off

    Yes a winter cover. Seems like they are a TON more work than they are worth. Stuff ends up dumping in there when you take it off anyway. Im thinking about just using a net and no cover. Just took cover off yesterday - Right now I am vacuming to waste...gotta get the swamp clean so we can start swimmin!
