After 18 years of having a 24' above ground pool this is how I handle the cover situation. I installed small tarp hooks on each post about 12" below the top rail and use 3/16" nylon string across the top of the cover from post to opposite post. Then I cut small plastic strips from milk jug and put those under the strings on top of the post. Pull the strings extremely tight. Then install the wire thru the eyelets and tighten. Keep any water pumped off the cover while the cover is on. A syphon hose works good too. You will not need the pillow. I live out in the country here in central Texas and get lots of wind which is what tears up the covers. Using this method a cover usually last 5-6 years. Buy the covers with a 10 years warranty and you wont have to buy another one for several years. They keep replacing the torn ones under warranty. This sounds like alot of work but once the hooks are installed it only takes about 30 minutes to install the cover by myself. I roll up the strings and save them from year to year. The wind is my biggest enemy here. If you can keep the wind from blowing the cover it will last alot longer.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
