We leave the diving board and slide out there (considering buying covers this year). The ladder comes out and either hangs on the fence or in the garage. The DE filter gets washed & drained and is put in the garage. We have a quick disconnect on the power supply for the pump. It gets drained (plugs in the basket for safe keeping) and sits in the garage next to the filter. Per my recent post, we usually leave the light wrapped up on the deck under the diving board. We have a RubberMaid storage shed we keep the rest of the small parts in (skimmer baskets, return eyes, extra plugs, DE powder).
