Re: Raised Wall Safety Covers And SnowQuote:
You're just getting end-of-year pool guy wind-down syndrome. It starts with double-thinking things like raised beam anchors popping out, or a winter plug you think you may have forgotten to put in. Next thing you know, you're having bad dreams about forgetting clients, pools cracking --- to waking up in a shudder from the phone ringing and it's just some damn telemarketer on the other end. And all you can hear ... is the sounds of .... "when are you going to be done?" "when are you going to be done?" "when are you going to be done?" "when are you going to be done?" .... yes ... go to sleep Ray .... I'll wake you in March

Re: Raised Wall Safety Covers And Snow
We tried the above ground pillow under the cover deal this year. Actually three taped together. We'll see how they hold up.
This particular cover has uncurled an eyebolt two years ago ...so we welded them shut! So last winter it ripped the same one out of the wall! This year we moved the anchors down the wall a bit and put pillows under the cover.It has a vanishing edge so the water level is lower than a standard winterized pools' water level. Do you perform any winter maintenance on a regular schedule? Scott
