Sun2Solar Solar Cover White Reel System for Round or Oval Above-Ground Swimming Pools | Fits Pools up to 21-Feet Wide Without Decking | Easy One-Person Operation

I almost NEVER leave reviews, this is an exception because this reel is everything as advertised. Easy 1 man operation, works smoothly and nearly effortlessly. I’m 83, and can handle it easily! Love being able to swing it out of the way so we can enjoy the view from ou pool deck. This is my third an final reel! It’s amazing!!!

Works great

Bought for 15x30 oval above ground pool. Works great so far. If you use the handle to roll up cover, It can come out of the holder. I take my time and use two hands and it does just fine. I bought an extra kit without the poles and mounted another swivel stand on one side of the pool to swing the cover out the f the way. Works great. This is the best I’ve enjoyed my pool in 15 years Update: this lasted for seven seasons. Probably would have lasted longer if I took better care of it. Every year, I just reel up the solar cover and leave it to ver the pool, then cover the pool at the end of the season. This year heavy snow caused the pole to collapse in the middle. Over all. Very pleased!

3 stars due to the completely useless instructions included with the reel. They do not provide any specific details or steps...just a jist of what you are supposed to accomplish while you spend time figuring out exactly how to accomplish said visuals...especially proper strap placement to get your cover to unreel correctly behind the reel. Through a few trial and errors...we figured it out but too much time wasted staring at instructions with a wtf look...that being said....once it is done CORRECTLY...it does make removing the cover and recovering much easier. A more in depth set of instructions would have made the rating higher. It does hold the cover well and just bows down a bit in the middle. Seems like it will last awhile. We purchased this for an above ground 24' round so it was fun figuring out how to mount it on the pool and exactly where the straps needed to be to work right. Worth the money but plan on figuring out the installation yourself.

I did a lot of research before purchasing a cover roller because there are quite a lot of options, they are all at least $200.00, and a lot of them have a frightening amount of negative reviews. I came across this cover roller and the reviews for my size pool were good, the only poor reviews I see are for pools 22-24' in diameter. Ours is a 15x30' oval and we didn't even use all of the pieces to extend the roller arms across the pool, 5 came in the box and only three were needed to span our pool, I like having the extra pieces should they be needed. No sag in the roller (yet) and the lift away design makes it perfect for one person to remove the cover. The only negative I have to say is the straps that come with it require you to puncture holes in the cover in order to attach, which I could see becoming a large rip down the line. I opted to purchase a set of heavy duty clams (last picture) to attach the straps to the cover, the hardware that came to attach the cover was still usable to secure the straps to the clamps.

I read the reviews and they were mixed so I took a chance. It’s not very well made. The bearings fall out so I had to duct tape them in. It’s heavy and not easy to use for one person. Also, my solar cover does not fit well on it even though I ordered a 21’ reel and it does not lay it perfectly on the pool. It stays folded in half and I have to pull it apart.

Does not wind up and down very smooth. Hard to use with only one person

We have a 15x30 oval pool, and decided to mount these to pressure treated 4x4 posts just above and just past one end to get it out of the way, and because we weren't keen on drilling through the pool edge. Works great so far. You can really be creative with the design since it can be mounted independent of the pool. The plastic pieces just aren't as thick and sturdy as I would like, and I plan to keep an eye on them for stress cracks. Worth the money so far for the super easy and quick on and off of the cover. Would buy again.
