We bought this reel last summer and it has worked out good with alterations. We did not want to drill holes on our pool railing so we went to lowes and bought 2 round wood fence posts and put them in the ground. No concrete was necessary, we just filled in around the posts with gravel. We also did not use the included clips. They were junk and did not stay put so we just bought some thin vinyl rope to attach to cover to the reel and it has worked fine.It rolls on and off just fine without having to get into the pool, and I am able to do it myself. I agree with others that say the pole is not very strong. It does bow a little bit when cover is rolled up on it, but still does the job and has not broke. Hope this helped!

It works perfect! We didn't want to drill holes in the rail of our pool so I pounded 2" angle iron into the ground 14' apart. I then took 1" black pipe with a floor flange screwed on the end, facing up and bolted it to the angle iron. The base of the reel bolted nicely to the floor flange so I have the reel on the outside edge of the pool. I just fold the edge of my 21' solar cover in and roll it up. The included cordage to connect roller to the cover is a little short for this installation but NBD to fix. FYI, 1-1/4" black pipe floor plate would have a little more play than 1" if you try this

Ok, so I'm looking at 3.5 stars but of course can only go 3 or 4. This works as it should so nothing much else to say on that. The downgrade is for the clips that connect the cover to the straps, they are a little weak. I had a pretty good wind over the pool, three clips came unsnapped. Time will tell how they hold up to the weather.

Read what other people say too. My pool is 15 x 30. This piece of crap might be good for a 12 x 12. I bought it a while ago, so I am stuck with it. I will be retro fitting it to make it functional. The pole is weak and sags, the plastic ends pop off when rolling it up. Avoid this at all costs

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2014
Size: 18' WideVerified Purchase
Would have liked better instructions for putting it together. Wife was almost frantic when I explained to her how I was going to have to connect it to the cover. She hated the idea of putting holes in the cover and cutting extra places to make it work. After all was said and done the thing works like a charm and is light enough for her to handle by herself. (66 yr old, 5 ft tall) Still need to make a couple more slits to compensate for size of cover, but it does work good on a 15 ft round pool.

I ordered this for my 18 ft pool. Directions are not very clear. After quite awhile trying to figure it out we got it together. It works wonderfully. Only suggestion is it needs stronger poles in the middle.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2014

I installed this reel on my 24x12x52 intex ultra frame pool.On the mounts I was only able to use two screws to mount it as my pool is not wide enough on the corners to put all 3 in, not a big deal it's still solid.only problem with this reel is because my pool is 24 feet long when rolling up the reel the solar blanket gets to be about 10 inches thick when fully rolled up there is only room for maybe 6 inches max!!! Total design flaw!!! The nice thing is I'm able to quickly remove it and my wife and I reel in the most of the blanket then flap it over the side of the pool about 3 feet.l personally would use a different reel then this one. I might go yo Home Depot and see if I can get some fittings that will allow me to raise the reel so I can fully reel the solar blanket in. Hope this helps!!
