    I cut my in half and used this:

    So far it seems to work pretty well and fairly easy to pull the cover out of the pool.

    Mas,
    So you are happy with the roller? I will only use the cover for 3- 4 months a year so I want to store it out of the way after that. Does it really roll up as easy as the demo video shows? Any cons about the product you can think of?
    This could be exactly what I am looking for as I have a 20 x 42 that is too big to handle in 1 piece.
    Thanks in advance,

    Nothing is ever as easy as shown in the adds but I would say for the most part it rolls up pretty easy. Depending on the shape of the pool and where you put the poles, very very key, unrolling can be a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it and learn how it behaves, it is pretty easy. I can do it by myself and I will say that it is far far easier than pulling it out by hand. Also. if you cannot use a conventional roller due to the shape of the pool, then it is the only way to go.
