How do you store your solar cover?

[matkot]

I have an irregular shaped pool & also keep toys around the pool that makes it difficult to have a solar reel nearby. What we did is cut the solar cover in half (voiding the warranty, but making it so much easier to handle) and cut it to fit the shape of the pool. Me and my wife or even my 7 year old daughter will each grab an end and pull the cover up on the decking folding it accordian style (similar to a tarp). Fold the cover in half (and half again) and store it along the fence (out of the sunlight and hidden behind some shrubs. When we need to put it back on the pool, we just reverse the process. It's worked for me for the last 2 years and the benefits of having a solar cover outway the 5 minutes that it takes us to remove the cover. I've attached a picture of the pool (minus the solar cover).
