Managing the solar cover - our solution

[matt4x4]

I think we'd ALL really like to see some pics of your design as well as the pics for the proceedure. Sounds like you made a cumbersome task (for one person) relatively easy.

Here are the pictures:

The URL is also posted in the long thread "Solar Blankets....really worth the trouble ????" I apologize for the duplication. My mistake for starting a new thread when a perfectly fine discussion about this very thing was already going on.

Hey, that's brilliant!
good for you for inventing this...
I love the idea of the balls for pulling the cover with a leaf net.

( btw, love the view that you have too! )

Thanks!

Our view is truly spectacular. We're already up on a hill and put the pool on the ridge behind the house. Oh yes, it was tricky getting the sand truck up there but they managed. The water delivery had to be piggybacked, big 18 wheeler on the road at the bottom of the hill dumping water into a smaller truck which made it up the driveway and then laid a loooooong hose up the hill. They had to refill the little truck twice.

Where in NS are you? We have friends in St. Margaret's Bay. Gorgeous place!
