i love the idea of the pcv pipe..i was not looking forward to trying to "fold" the cover or roll it up conventionally..that also allows me to store in my garage rather than basement ***uming one thing.that cold weather won't hurt it? still a question in my mind...

otherwise, my thinking is i would get or construct a pipe long enough so that there was a foot on either end open..that then would be 2 clear suspension points (something like those bigger pipe hangar brackets......that i think would bear os the weight..but i would then use 2 nylon straps with foam pieces for padding about a 3rd and 2/3 of the way down the pvc pipe..the nylon straps would anchor on the wall on big nails..

something like that..that's how i "envision it. i also like it cause as i roll the cover onto the pipe i can do the cleaning of the outside bit by bit before storage.
