Solar Blankets....really worth the trouble ????

This may be a dumb question, but after you install your noodles, how would you roll/store each quarter, they would have to lie flat thus taking up all kinds of space, or you would have to install/remove noodles all the time - sounds like more work than rolling the thing up....

Hi Matt,

What I planned to do was install the noodles in two section, on each side. Between each of the two sections would be a break, allowing enough room for the noodled cover to fold on top of itself. This way it would be able to fold very similar to the way I fold my quartered pieces now. Multiple times on the outer curve and once in half on the radius length.

But after seeing the suggestion from Shelley...I think I may head in this direction. (thanks for the ideas Shelley).

It did take alot of nerve to cut a brand new 24' solar cover. But I figured...as it is now...I'm not using it at all. And pulling the entire cover out of a 30" opening simply was not working! I could see being even more hesitant to cut the new cover if I had a large decked surface to pull the entire cover onto...but I didn't.

happy swimmin',
