Hi All,
After a wonderfull first year with our new pool (BBB since day 1.) we closed this fall.
We live in south eastern PA, and have had a lot of snow this year.
Additionally, wehere we live, we have al lot of wind.
At one point, we had 5' of snow on our pool cover (yes, that is 5 feet.)
Now that the snow is begining to melt, I have found some damage.
Specifically, to the springy, hook things that attach the cover to screw bolts embeded in the deck.
Two hooks slipped from their bolts (and of course this is causing the others to bear more weight.)
One screw/bolt was broken/sheared off at the base.
There is still a portion of the pool that I have not been able to inspect (because the snow has not melted completely.)
What could/should I do differently to avoid this kind of damage in the future?
Thanks,
-Ken-
