We have an IG pool so hooks around the pool isn't a viable solution for us. We have an irregularally shaped 40x20 pool and the cover is heavy and cumbersome. We found that if we fan fold the cover about 3 to 4 feet then roll the cover up and put it into one of those very large trash cans with wheels and a hinged lid we can move it quite easily to the garage, shed, down to the basement, etc.

I put a couple of holes in the bottom to allow any water that remains on the cover to drain out. This seems to work quite well.
