Hi Lou & Aggie and or Cougina.
I've done something like that. I hope they fold it so that you can set it up on one side of the pool, pull it off the axl, (we used a round metal scaffolding bar). So you pull it all the way to the far side and then flip it open to cover the left side of the pool and to cover the right side of the pool. Do you see what i mean?
We made a model first out of some sleepingbag or something, because we were talking endlessly and it can be really stressful to talk and understand what you want to say but because the matter is so foreign to our brain that you can't get the others to understand. And they have the same going on.
We were three to figure it out. And we had a video about how to not do it, by Butler. He had to redo it. Well avoid that. The good news is he did it alone and with his wife.
We were three, one couple and me.
The problem was, the factory had folded it wrong, so we had to find a big flat place close by and refold it. The farmer had a huge flat place we could use to fold it just right and lift it with the tractor and drive it to the edge of the pool.
Then we were five to pull it across, it went much easier than expected and their pond liner was a bit longer, 75 feet by 50 feet.
Then fold it open to the two sides was doable with three.
If you don't see what i mean, i can send pictures, but the poolowners are a bit private, so i've gotto ask if that's ok first.
It's a real big undertaking, don't underestimate it and work it out now, so you can properly explain the factory guys, who might any way think "Fuck it, we'll quickly fold it and bring it, not our problem..". Here they had said, of course we do it like that, we do this all the time! It took quite some puzzling to find out it was wrong in the first place, so you will want to avoid that situation when you have a crew waiting for you. And have the plan B ready for if the factory fucks up.
