First of all – thank you for answering my posts! Although we are new pool owners, you have given our family a sense of confidence.
We have installed an automatic cover, which as you know, was very expensive. Although it can be used as a winter cover, I am thinking about protecting it throughout the winter.
I have heard of people using a standard tarp with water bags, but I would like to brainstorm a few more ideas. Has anyone done this?
One of my ideas may be considered overkill, but I have always been that type of person. I am thinking about buying or making a steel tube / canvas structure that can carry a snow load. It would look like a carport without sides. I think a dome shape would be pretty cool. Basically I just need something to keep water, snow, ice and leaves off my cover!
What do you think?
Thanks!
Dave
