Best way to install winter cover

[IIIpgCIii]

Hi,

This is my first year with a pool. It is above ground, with pavers installed all around it. What is the best way to secure a winter cover? I didn't buy one yet. But I am not sure I have enough room to winch it around correctly. Any advice?

Welcome to TFP! Curious, do you have enough room around all sides to where you might be able to anchor something in the ground to serve as tiedown points?

A small border of pavers and grass all around the pool. Except for the paver steps in the picture

I'm curious to see what other AGP owners might recommend, hut I see the following options:
1. Suspend/drape ropes over the tiled decking attached to weighted items
2. Secure to anchors inserted to the ground
3. Combination of 1 & 2
4. Drill/faster anchor points into the tiled wall/decking
5. Don't us a cover at all (optional)

Let the comments begin!

Thanks for the suggestions. Should I order a cover for my pool size, or go bigger? It is a 15x24 pool.

I would think you want a bit of overlap over the top rail and/or to support addition room underneath should you elect to place something underneath on the water to help with water run-off. But I'd like to see some fellow AGP owners chime-in.
