that's where i was going to get mine...i ended up finding them at a hardware store in canada called canadian tire..not really cheaper, but they were there when i needed them. 4 came in a pack..i have yet to have one come off..my 13 son or 1 are basically the ones who put the cover on or off..he's just a little guy and he has no problem pulling the cover back onto an 18 x 30 pool and i left the ropes i attached long enough that they can easily come to the side or end of the pool (so we don't have to ever go swimming to get at them).it really honestly is a 2 or 3 minute job for one of us to put it back on or take off.
