How to Adjust the Height of a Retractable Cover Pool

Retractable pool covers allow your pool cover to be rolled up on a stand while the pool is being used and unrolled when it is not being used to prevent debris from entering the pool. The height of the pool cover stand will depend on how long your pool is or how thick the cover is. The longer your pool the more cover you will roll on to the stand, which will require the stand to be higher to accommodate the large cover. Most pool covers operate the same way and adjust the same way.
