Where do you store all of your pool stuff for winter

Hi, Ted,

The bolts need to be protected by graphite paste or waterproof grease

That's a good tip. Do ya'll grease up the anchor bolts for ladders as well?

Our ladder is stored in a shed. The pump and multiport valve were brought in for the winter. Sand filter was drained and covered with the drain exposed so any additional can drip out. The solar cover was cleaned and rolled up on the ground mouted reel, bungied, covered with a poly cover (also bungied) and given a forward 1/2 turn each day to get any remaining moisture to fall out. It will stay out there for the winter. The area is protected from wind so it won't move much till spring.

Our board is 23 years old and we've had no problems with it. Maybe we've been lucky. THe gel coat is a little faded, (as is that of our boat), but other than that it seems fine. Liek I said, we're probably getting a cover for it though.

Some stuff goes in the basement, some in the shed.

Dave, how're you doing these days?
I don't bother with the anchor bolts nor wedges, it's so rarely a problem that it's not worth the time. However, cleaning out the anchor cups is a good idea every few seasons. Nice 'seeing' you again -Ted

Our diving board stand has U shaped steel or aluminum legs and are cemented into the ground. Only the board comes off.
We spent the day cleaning and reorganizing the basement and found plenty of room for the equipment.
Thanks for the advise. I probably wouldn't have cleaned out my basement for a long while without it!
