    I would not do that, unless you are super careful I will bet the top of the chain links will tear the cover when you take the cover off the fense.

    I roll my 16x32 cover onto about a 15' piece of 2" PVC pipe, then lift it out of the water, set it along the fence out of the way, then cover it with white bedsheets. It's a 12 mil and somewhat heavy but manageable by myself. Only disadvantage is I have to get in the pool to roll it up. Whatever you do don't leave it exposed to direct sun when rolled. Infrared penetrates to the middle and you can melt the plastic. Also voids the warranty. I can post pics of the process if anyone is interested.
