I need help deciding between these 2 pool covers, for my bubble cover of 5m by 8 metres.
1)
- 180 euros
- 12 kg
- 2 wheels on each side
2)
- 220 euros
- 10.5 kg
- 2 wheels on only 1 side
I lean towards the first one, but my main concern is with the wheels. Does having 4 wheels instead of 2 means it is less stable ? I am worried about it tipping over when I try to put the cover, alone, back on the pool.
Any advice? Thanks!

Re: Choosing roller for cover
I have two of the bottom picture. After having that I wouldn't want the one with wheels on both sides, the wind seems to grab these and blow them in the pool, With the castor wheels I think that would make it easier. Mine is 3 years old and still looks and operates as it should.

Ok, thanks, I'll go with the second one then. Thanks for your help!

Re: Choosing roller for cover
I suggest laying it over on its side while the cover is on the pool, that seems to keep the cover from blowing and pulling it in the pool. For the most part it floats so it isn't a huge deal if it goes in though. Maybe we just have bad crosswinds at my house too.

I see, thanks for that. I was actually not thinking about when there's wind, but the moment I turn the wheel to remove the cover from the pool. I am hoping to do that alone, but not sure if the castor wheels would allow that.
