## Description

Non-corroding aluminum reel fits under most diving boards. Engineered for smaller hotel and motel pools, this reel is designed for heavy use. Its powder-coated heavy gauge aluminum frame is super strong, lightweight, and will never rust or corrode. The large stainless steel crank with handle at one end makes turning the reel easy. Precision sealed bearings allow a single person to effortlessly glide the solar blanket off your pool. Our premium reel is built with a heavy-duty tube that will not sag or flex. It will support solar blankets up to 24-feet wide by 50-feet long. Standing only 12-inch high, this low profile reel can fit under most diving boards for easy storage when not in use. Includes all straps and necessary hardware. Base and frame are aluminum. Optional locking casters can be added for easy portability. 1-Year warranty.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    FYI: The tube works fine, but I was surprised to find that only the tube arrived-no base.I had to modify the old base.
  

*by P***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2018*

The GLI solar cover reel package arrived without the base, upon which the tube rests and thereby allows the cover to be reeled off the pool. Even though the picture clearly shows the item having both the tube and the base, apparently the base is sold separately. Clearly false advertising.

    Good value, easy to use... Made in china
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012*

EDIT: the turquoise straps that attach the reel to the blanket are an utter waste. Less then one season and they literally turned to dust in my hands. Guess that's why they include twice as many straps as one needs... Wish I would have kept them :-(I took a bit of a risk ordering this but was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality. Although not mentioned, this reel comes with straps to attach a cover! In fact, it includes twice the number of straps that a typical install requires. (10 straps) Alll hardware is included plus a driver bit for the tek screws that attach the straps. The pole is a three part design that has the two outer pieces connect with the third larger diameter section. The pieces must be drilled with the included drill bit and bolted together.Assembly took about 20 minutes. The instructions are complete and easy to follow.Now the bad stuff, if you already have a cover for a pool that has an irregular shape, the straps may not work without modification. The instructions have you fold the cover and secure the grommets through the folded over portion. The instructions suggest that you cut your cover about 6 inches longer in order to accommodate this method of securing. This isn't a big deal unless you have an irregular shaped pool and a solar cover that is already cut. To address this, I made some elongated washers out of some old thin cutting boards I had and placed them I between the securing grommet and solar cover to provide additional tear resistance.I'm not knocking the product, as you can see by my 5 star rating. It was just a unique issue I ran into.This product is made in china. One of the bolt heads was deformed so much that a closed end 6 point wrench would not turn the bolt. I don't think they make bolts like that in Youngstown Ohio where the company is headquartered.

    Solar Blanket Reel
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2013*

Living on the coast I had to consider the wind and elements.  This reel best met my needs.  It was rust-resistant aluminum and appeared to have a good, simple design that sets low to the ground.  However, since the reel handIe turns so easily, I would have liked a simple brake to set to prevent the reel from unwinding when the wind blows.  I found that a looped cord secured the reel handle from unwinding in the wind.  Note: Do not discard the leftover pieces of the reel attachment straps because they can be handy as replacements, if needed.
