Large solar cover help

[CarlD]

That's a big cover!

I have a 16x40 and, with a good reel it's not too hard to roll up. I CAN cover it myself but it's far, far easier with two.

Thank you all for your help. I sounds like the easier part is getting the cover off the reel and on the pool. The harder part sounds like getting the cover back on the reel straight. One of the covers I saw has 5 or 6 nylon straps that attach to the end of the cover the then the reel, naybe that helps getting the cover to start straight when starting to reel.

i think that's true, rich..and that's how mine is..a bunch of straps..it's not tough or a big deal though if it doesn't go on even..when i roll mine up, it can wrinkle a bit..but i just move the reel aside and give a quick tug if it needs it on the end and it's fine.
