I am about to install the reel but I don't have that much space. Can I make the reel length less than the 24' dia? Also, to lessen the management of the reel can it be permanently on the outside edge of the pool? Newdude Gold Supporter.
TFP Guide. Jun 16, 11, NY. The reel is needed to support the cover so you need it pretty much as wide as the cover. You could probably have it 6 inches smaller on both ends but that wont help your space issue much. Many members have built a reel holder outside their AG pool and keep it rolled up nearby. You could also cut the cover into 2 pieces to have two 12 footers. The remote control makes it easy for one person to operate and works both in extension and retraction.
We are so happy we finally invested in a solar blanket reel! It has simplified our life greatly! As we get older, we are not as capable of pulling the solar cover over on our own, and the remote control is a blessing! Click Here for Details. With majority of pool owners striving to be more environmentally friendly these days adding a solar cover to your pool is a logical and cost effective step as they help to reduce both water and chemical consumption.
Unfortunately solar covers are usually an afterthought on most swimming pools. This can make installation of a reel system difficult as you have to work around existing obstructions such as ladders, stair rails, diving boards and water features to mention a few.
Sometimes planning a solar reel installation is daunting. You may consider using two smaller solar blankets to cover larger pools. Hopefully by now you are comfortable with the process of sizing and customizing a solar blanket as necessary. Doing so will probably help to retain more heat since the cover will be able to sit flat on the water and reduce gaps, but you will also still be able to show off the uniqueness and shape of your freeform pool, even with the solar cover on.

Hi Nick — thanks for the question. Solar covers are attached to solar cover reels by the use of straps and clips. They are screwed to the reel, and on the other end, they are run thru a 2-pc clamp or clip, which pinches to attach to the solar blanket.
