Pros: Keeps cover off the grass and deck
Cons: Directions look like they were a copy of a copy of a copy
I like this thing. The saddle isn't the perfect solution, but my wife and I find it much better than dealing with a reel. It broke my heart to drill into my rails, but it was worth it to keep the cover off of the grass. Getting the cover on and off takes about 3-4 minutes, but it's so much easier and cleaner now. I would advice that you actually place the hook brackets 3 or 6" closer together than the directions say. When I set it up per the directions for my 24' pool the edges of the cover sagged and touched the ground. Moved the outer hooks in 6" it was much better.
I think it took about an hour to put all of the hooks in so setup was not difficult.
