I had one but they proved to be a nightmare in the wind... they turn into a sail especially if your pool is overflow type.
I do have the storage mechanism... you are welcome to it.

Thanks for your response - sorry it took a longer to come back to you, but got family over!!
I also have an overflow pool so Groucho think I will forget it!! But thanks for the offer.
Have a good week all
Regards
Kate

I have used solar covers brought over on TA from the UK for many years.
You can't possibly use one on "overflow", I always had it on main drain and a few inches below the top.
Last year when I had my pool and patio refurbished I got rid of the stupid overflow design and now have a full length skimmer on the deep end.
No more nasty plastic grills, dirty overflow chanels and worn out ridge tiles

That's really interesting.
Any chance of a photo or two please?

Mark, who did the conversion for you?
It does look great but I notice no steps at deep end... is that not risky when cramp can strike and skimmer pools not as easy to get out if the worst happens...?
