I have a 32' by 14' blanket what more do I need to reel up the blanket? Does the "reel system" cover those needs?

We did not like this reel system. It broker and we were only able to use it one season.

In addition to the "reel system" you need the pole. The "reel system" is the stands, reels, collars, straps and clamps.

The height doesn't matter. This is a blanket that's fits on top of the water inside a 12' pool. You could also use it for a 14' or 15' pool as well since this doesn't go over the outside to actually keep out debris.

Although my pool is only 12X24 you would need a roller that is at least 22 feet in length. The model I puchased extends to 18 feet. Make sure you purchase the wheels. It's a great product and works very well. It took a few hours to assemble and set up with the strapping which allows you to lift the cover from the pool as you roll it up. Hope this helps.

Our cover is on a reel at the deep end of our pool so as we roll it up we can pick any leaves or sticks off. What little that does get in the pool we just skim off. Plus we really don't get very much in the pool area...lucky us!

I have a 12mil cover on a 20x40 pool. I can just barely see a hint of bowing but it's not a problem at all (after ~3 months so far). The reel seems strong and I'm happy with it so far.

Yes. I would recommend a smaller size than 20x40. Use a 16x32 size so you have less to cut. Be sure to use a good razor knife and a straight edge. I have to slice about 6-8 inches as the blanket seems to always be 20.5 ft wide and I have to cut the extra inches off. Also be sure the knife blade goes all the way through the blanket. Pretty easy but go slow, once it's cut there is no do over.

It really depends on the quality of the reel; but my reel is the middle level quality and has no problem supporting the 12 mil cover. I also have a 20x40 pool so it is a fairly heavy cover.

NO. I have about 30' of 50' roll,it is too large maybe 25' rolled tight would fit.

I bought 12x30 and wish I bought 12x50. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and it will work perfectly. It's important that you drape the net loosely so it catches the ball. Ours was up the entire winter in NY and still works beautifully.

Normally all reels are made to fit all rods. You might want to ask the manufacturer.

I use 25Ib braid, works well for me, really depends on what your fishing for, reel can handel a wide range.

Your solar cover should be fine. We have a 12 mil for a 16x28 pool. My 8 year old can roll it up and 12 yr old helps me lift it completely off when needed. If to a second post, my 8 yr old can do this too. Only recommendation is to buy a 'clip' or two for each end as the liner likes to unroll both at the same time. The aluminum rod is light weight but seems very strong.

I bought this for spare parts. It doesn't come with the rod between the two reels. It should work for above ground as long as you can attach to part that holds up the rod to the ground. There is only about 6 inch clearance between the rod and the ground. You will have to determine the diameter of the cover when its rolled up.

Thought I'd respond anyway. I have a heavy duty 3/4" hose that is 75' long on my reel. I have a little room to spare. I could probably roll up another 15' neatly. If you need an exact measurement I'd contact Eley directly. If you buy the reel you'll be more than happy. It's a first class product all the way. Best of luck.

You could spool many reels. Tell me what reels you are wanting to spool. the reels themselves and the packaging tells you of line capacity with different diameters! There is never a need to find the midpoint of a spool unless you are fishing sea fishing rigs? Even then it would be highly unlikely??? I could be missing the question here entirely however!

I have the roller on a 16x36 pool and it does not seem to have any deflection in the middle. I don't remember the thickness of our cover so I don't know if you will have any additional weight due to the thickness of the cover. But you have 4 more feet in both directions, which will definitely add more weight. The biggest thing to question is how much the wider span will increase that load in the middle of the reel. Without actually having the weights and distances in front of me I can't give you a load increase to base your choice on. The only thing I can say is that the reel seems to be solidly built...and while it isn't the easiest thing to put together and required another set of hands...it has done exactly what I needed for the year that I have had it. Not a ton of help, but hopefully it gives you something to go on.

My pool is approximately 12 1/2 feet and the blanket fits it well, so I dont think you should have a problem.
