What size pool cover are you using and what thickness (mil) is it? Does the pole sag?

Our cover was about 14' wide by 38' long and not super thick. Our pole did not sag. we are actually pleased with our purchase.

We have a very thick solar pad, don't know what (mil) exactly but it is heavy.... The pole is very sturdy & doesn't sag but we have an odd shaped pool and thus the cover is wider on the far end, making rolling it onto the pole tricky. It is very sturdy and is better than others I have seen.

I'm using a 18'x36' cover and the pole does flex or sag when you have the whole tarp on it. For summer storage, i have folded the tarp in half and removed one of the sections of the pole. It stays straight doing it this way. Not sure how thick (mil) the tarp is, but it is great to close the pool with.

I bought the 58001 on 8/28/11. Have I been satisfied with it? No. I wish I had paid more money and bought a better one from In the Swim; one that had a crank on both ends. I paid $193.22 for mine, but it is not worth it to me. My pool is 20'x40' and this set has a hard time holding the weight of a cover this heavy. It would be so much easier to roll the cover up if it had a double crank as my last pole did. I hope that this post will be of some help to you.

I'm sorry for my last answer. My response was for another item I just purchased. I would contact the seller because I have a cement pool.

You would have to find a 30 ft pole to roll the cover. You need a deck, since this is for in ground pools.

I own this ladder and am very pleased with it. We currently do not use a pool cover, but the one we have is big enough to fit over the ladder without removing the ladder. I think it all depends on the type of pool cover and the size of the pool cover.

I would agree, I have a thicker one and it is somewhat difficult. And, it does not roll up as tightly as the videos show. Mine still wraps around itself better than it goes back on the pool. Oh, and one of the tubes bent

16'I bought also in Amazon Poolmaster 18616 16' Telescopic Pole with Ribbed Finish - Basic Collection and works perfectly

We mounted ours on one end, but it's only a 20-ft long pool so the thickness of the rolled up cover wouldn't be nearly as much as for a 33 ft pool.

You'll need a 16' cover for a 16' pool. I'm pretty sure the 18' will be too big. This cover will only work for a round, metal frame pool. I'm very satisfied with this cover. The clips attach to the steel legs and it also has a draw string. It also holds up to the wind real well. You should get about 2 years use out of it.

The unit can expand so that the cover is inside of the wheels. The shaft is 16" off the ground. I used a 16'x32' high quality cover that lasted five years. It was so water logged that two people could not lift it. But the reel pulled it off the pool and moved it to my drive way.

I have a 12 mil solar cover and the Solar Roller works fine with that. My pool is small (13' x 26'). I cut the solar cover in half as instructed for the Solar Roller. They rollers do feel "flimsy" but they are durable. I rolled them up and hung them on ladder racks in the garage for the summer as I didn't need the cover. The key is not to bend the roller much and let the water pour out as you roll them up, prior to lifting them out of the pool and then carry them in the middle with both hands. It should weigh less than 30 lbs. I guess it could depend on the size your pool.

The tube is 3" and Amazon should be showing you that item for purchase on this product page. However, that's not important since this setup won't work for you. The longest length of pole is 20 feet which will be too short for your 20' wide pool, and the 3" pole that I have does flex quite a bit with the cover rolled up at 16'. I would assume 20 feet would be worse. Think you're going to have to move on to a more commercial roller with a longer, more rigid pole.Hope that helps.

I have a 28 foot pool. The hangover would be the only thing that you would have to worry about, but I would suggest figuring out your spacing before you drill any holes to make sure it will hold the entire cover without too much hangover. That said, I believe it should work out for you!

My pool is 54" and has no issue. You'd have to have a pole long enough for it if yours is 10ft deep. The pole controls it.

If it's a metal pool you shouldn't have that problem. I had the thickest cover the clear one and never had a problem. My pool was a 24" round and 4 1/2 feet deep.

This is for inground pools and they do not have 30ft pole. So answer is no.

Either one would work I suppose. I would personally go with the 18". We also have 2' overlap with that cover for our pool and we notice it keeps more of the bugs/dirt ect. out as it leaves no room for things to get in. Helps with preventing rain water from getting in and the water getting more cold.Just a thought!
