Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pool Cover Reel, Aluminum Solar Cover Reel 22 ft, Inground Swimming Pool Cover Reel Set with Rubber Wheels and Sandbags, Fits for 5-22 ft Width Swimming Pools

Sturdy, great hardware, easy to assemble my pool is 16 feet wide I made the real 18 feet wide to allow space on each side I would recommend it. It comes with two sandbags to put on the end also.

It does what it advertises. The instructions for placement of the cover reel relative to the kidney-shaped pool were actually accurate (and therefore helpful). The pre-drilled holes on the pole were not accurate relative to the instrutions however it did not hinder assembly. The aluminum is soft and the thread on the screw holder is already rusting. I don't expect this years on end but for the price, and getting a cover so we could heat pump to extend our pool season, it was worth it.

The instructions provided were for a different roller. I had to guess where everything went. Once I sorted it out the roller seems to be good value for money.

The roller arrived on time, and everything was in good condition. The instructions for assembly were a little vague, the sections of tubes fit together nicely, but the hardware, and screws could have been better quality, so that everything stayed together. I’m sure there are some tips and tricks, depending on the application, the dimensions of your pool and surrounding surfaces, but until you build one, you just don’t know. If I had to start over, or put another one together, I would make it a little bit wider than the actual solar blanket, at least 12 inches, that would make rolling and unrolling easier, and if you’re doing it in a strong wind, it wouldn’t bunch up too much. All things considered, I’m happy with it, and glad to finally have one.
