Do you cut this to fit around your ladder? and how big a pain is it to remove and reinstall every time you use the pool?

We lift our ladder out of the pool when we cover it. It can easily be cut. Easy to pull back onto pool but we use two people to make it easier. Otherwise you just walk around pool and adjust it. To keep in place, we tie rope crisscrossed over pool but I am looking into bungee cords.

I cut it into 3rds which makes it easier to remove by myself. For the ladder I just cut 2 slits so that it would slide next to the ladder handles but still cover the entire water surface.

I have an 18' cover to fit a 20' pool - no need to take out the ladder. We've had it blown off the pool once by a 50 mph wind, but otherwise it stays put. We have a PVC pipe to roll the cover up on when we're using the pool. I can roll it up by myself, but it is easier with someone at the other end of the pipe.

Yes, I had to drill through my top rail. I cant think of any way you could get around drilling. The result is 2 screw heads visible on the top of the rail. I just made sure the holes lined up perpendicular to the pool wall and they really arent noticable or bothersome. It's worth the tradeoff, ive had mine for 2 seasons now and they're great!

I think I found it on google, but what I did was drop front of track set it on short ladder. Took end off of track pulled out old one. Then I slid new one in place then activated opener to open. It sucked it right in. The you need to put back to gether. Then you have to make adjustments for open and close positions. Took about 30 minutes.

I don't find it difficult to remove alone. Its just a large piece of bubble wrap. Its not really heavy but is a little bulky. I just roll it up, starting at one side, sliding it across the water as I roll. I hang it over our swing set if I need to rinse chemical residue off. Its not a cover though, its a solar pad. It will not keep your pool clean. It lays on the water surface.

Hey JENNIFER, this is what I did: With the pool filled to the proper level that we like I had my wife hold the outside piece in place then I went into the pool sith the inside piece and put it into place and pushed a screw through and tightened it loosely then pushed the other through and started them all loosely and after all started then tightened then. So now at this point you have inner and outer part screwed together ( but no hole in the pool other than the screw holes that you make using the screws and your hand pressure). Now you can close the valve on the skimmer and use a razor blade to cut out the opening!!! Hope that helps you a little. I was skeptical when my wife brought this skimmer home, but I must say it does an awesome job and work PERFECT!!!

Very Easy to install - Find the place on the hand rail where you want it to be. 1st make sure to have the screw head facing out so you can use the screwdriver to tighten. There is a slot to place the other part in (comes in 2parts) pull the 2 parts together around the hand rail line up the holes and tighten slightly position the guard where you want on the rail the fully tighten. (NOT to tight that it would break.) So far working great for us. We bought them so our pool sweeper would not get caught in the ladder. Hope this is clear and good luck.

Yes, you will have to cut your cover in half, but it doesn't prevent the cover from covering your pool just the same. I also have an approximately 20' x 40' pool with an odd shape and I love this roller system. I'm pretty small and it allows me to remove the cover by myself, something I couldn't do before.

No, it's not difficult to cut it to fit around anything. Just use regular household type scissors. This weed cloth is way more durable than the junk they sell at the nurseries too. I installed this in my front flowerbeds 3 years ago, and then put mulch on top and I only have easy to remove weeds on the top of the weed cloth still.

Ypu can cut it down to what your needs are. We had to trim ours to fit our pool.

The instructions say to remove the existing feet before installing the levelers. It didn't ruin my ladder. I have a 16' "Werner" aluminum extension ladder. The existing feet are held on by a 7/16" nut and bolt. They can be removed easily, and if saved, can be reinstalled easily if you take the levelers off again.

It is installed by the two screws that come with the guard. There are two pieces, one wraps around the ladder tube and then you screw it into the other piece. I think it is easier to install before you put the ladder in the water, otherwise you will have to screw while in the water. I actually needed two on one ladder, because that polaris climbs the wall....Hope this helps

U need the clips for the top of the liner onto the frame. They are usually brittal and will brake when you take them off. I also bought the foam copeing. They are better than using sand. Check out replacing a pool liner on youtube. They offer alot of tips.

do you have a intex pool? if so you have to cut the bottom piece off and slide the 1/4/ inch pipe into you return on the pool use a clamp to hold it in place

Yes. It's very easy to cut it to fit the shape of your pool. Having two people to do it is recommended.

To clip over the metal panels. I do not know what brand of my pool is it came with the house I bought. I watched several online videos to figure out how to do it. The most important thing that I learned was to not put that retainer molding on until the pool was about three quarters full. I highly recommend looking at some videos. Unfortunately it was so long ago I can't remember what websites I looked on

I bought this ladder a couple of years ago and I have a 15' x 4' pool and it worked great. It's much sturdier than the one that came with the pool. It's heavy and you have to leave it in the pool and can get a little scummy just because it's in the pool and it's kind of hard to clean, but all in all I'd give it a thumbs up.

installation is very simple......assemble circular plastic piece around the ladder frame and tighten the screw that comes with each guard. Takes all of a minute or two per guard. Don't fully tighten the screw until you've adjusted the guard where you want it to be on the ladder and against the wall of the pool.
