Well the ice is gone here in New York and the work on the above ground
swimming pool has commenced. I've descided after finding that tire
tubes collapsed and the so called blanket or air pillow collapsed in
the ice under the winter cover that I have another idea. this would keep
the winter cover up off the ice which develops here during the winter.
sort of like a spider web design . I'm going to buy a bunch of cotton
clothes line and with the help of others tie this clothesline together
in a clump, if you would and then have each of the strands run out and
over the edge of the pool to be anchored somehow on the ground outside
the pool. Not sure how this will work by the raised deck. but if you get
my drift. something more solid to help hold the winter cover up off the
water.. of course it would help if I bought a new cover because
apparently this cover has many pin holes allowing melting ice/ rain to
drip or run down into the pool.Now if we could market this idea it would
be great. I'll experiement as soon as the water is warm enough to get
in but the idea of a large spider web type of home made thingee
sounds good. Lee
