Hi, I've been struggling for years with our solar cover and have read a few posts here and elsewhere that lead me to believe that some folks have been successful with using portable rollers on the freeform pools.
We are limited by a rock wall on the northern side, a diving rock on the deep end (west side) and a small flower bed on the south side. I've included a pic of the pool taken from the deep end and a satellite image. in the satellite photo, the brownish area above the pool is a mulch bed that is behind a rock wall, so we can't put a rod there. the brownish area in the middle of the kidney shape is a small flower bed that has about 1 ft tall day lilies in it. the gray square in the bottom left is a diving rock on the deep end.
I was thinking I could put the roller on the shallow end parallel to the fence and pull it across and then add a small piece in the area that is getting missed by the roller. (I included a pic that shows the general path of the roller in my plan) Am I crazy?
thanks for the input!
