In remodeling our 15x50' pool, we're adding a spillway from the new spa on the middle of the long side. The design necessitates switching our pool cover track from being mounted under the coping to an encapsulated track. (Our old track didn't stay in old our coping very well, so this has seemed like a good thing.) This means though that the track will be a littler further away from the cover on each side (~2"?). Our current cover is <3 years old and in good shape. We had originally planned with our PB on reusing it, with adapters or longer arms on the ends to reach the new track. But, that was either too long ago to remember or something has changed and they now think we need a whole new cover.
Has anyone had success switching track mount locations without getting a new cover? Any pointers on where to look or what might work? Or, is this a bad idea and we should bite the bullet on a new cover? (The surface area to cover isn't changing. Only the track location.) If we do have to get something new, are there any better options to look at besides the standard coverstar/fabric auto covers? Thanks for any suggestions!
For fun (unrelated to this question), here are 2 pics from the construction in progress. There are A LOT of pipes now.
