Picture, if you will, the reel system out over one end of the pool by about 6 - 8' from one end and straddling the width of the pool. With the straps coming down from the tubing to the cover at that 6' to 8' area directly below the reel tubing. When you are ready to roll up the cover it should reel up onto the reel from both directions of each end of the pool. It is a bit tricky to do but works great when done right. Just reverse everything when covering the pool.
