the founding History! Why are there thousands of SOLAR SADDLES ® purchased yearly by satisfied customers internationally? 27 years ago, we solved the safe storing with an A/G SWIMMING POOL COVER HOLDER. • We had two A/G pools in our family. Like all owners of above-ground pools, we all dealt with the painful task of safely managing and storing the SOLAR COVER off the deck, ground, and grass and out of the way, safely. • We decided to find a way to conquer that painful chore. We time tested many designs using polymer and metal prototypes. We named the product in generic terms, "SOLAR COVER HOLDER". To be mounted under the top rail. • We time tested using different metal tubing assembled with nuts and bolts, these failed our test, they left many snags and wear points to destroy covers and were so strong they pulled bolt heads through or bent the top rails. • Time-tested results lead us to produce a smooth round fully assembled one-piece tube of flexible polymer material in a J or U shape and they worked very well. • Our goal was to create a safe and effective SOLAR COVER HOLDER and we uncovered the needs of our goal. We used polymer to prevent both short and long-term damaging results. • Using any metal holders during our long-term testing developed always developed either short or long-term damage to the pool or solar cover. • We also added flexible trim-able polymer mounting brackets and shear pins for additional safety. We were looking for a long solar cover life and a safe accessory to attach to our pools and we found the material and design. • We solved solar cover management. With the success of a single-piece holder, 5 per set, and how they were liked so well by local users we had to present it commercially to all above-ground pool users. SOLAR SADDLE ® IS THE ORIGINAL AWARD WINNING MICHIGAN INVENTED POLYMER, "SOLAR COVER HOLDER", NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ELIMINATED THE USE OF ALL-METAL HANGERS. THIS DESIGN DOES AWAY WITH MOST POTENTIAL DAMAGING ISSUES, MISUSE ASIDE. THE DESIGN MAIN FACTOR OF OVERALL SAFETY ELIMINATES ISSUES OF DAMAGING YOUR COVER AND POOL; BENDING YOUR TOP RAIL OR YOUR POOL IS NOT AN AREA OF CONCERN. ALSO, BEING A SINGLE STRUCTURE ELIMINATES WASTING TIME ON AN ASSEMBLY PROJECT. WE HAVE ALSO PERFORMED TIMELY SAFETY TESTS ON OUR PRODUCT TO DISCOVER FUTURE USE DAMAGE DEVELOPMENTS TO SUPPORT CONFIDENCE IN OUR PRODUCT. ANY PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT MEET THESE HIGH STANDARDS SHOULD BE THOUGHTFULLY EVALUATED AND RECONSIDERED. |
SOLAR SADDLE ® custom, VERY forgiving, flexible, polymer saddles arrive fully assembled. The CHINESE FAKE requires sorting and manual wrenching the assembly of 70 damaging, rigid metal pieces. The Solar Saddle ® one-piece polymer hanger construction design can be installed on the pool faster than the China FAKE can be assembled. FAKES, by design just fall short! |
Solar Saddle ® - A Very EZ, Safe and Convenient one-step Solar Cover Storage System.
• Being flexible is one major important safety feature of the Solar Saddle ® cover holder, Patent awarded.
• Keeps cover clean, off the grass and debris and pool deck area cluttered free with solar cover stored out of the way.
• Extend your solar cover life, save money, and stop killing your grass and transferring debris from the ground to pool water.

• Polymer mount brackets on round tube frames, i.e., Intex, easily trim sharp corners and mount vertically to uprights with self-tapping screws. **
• Flexible and flimsy are two different things, a steel cable is flexible and yet, extremely strong, not flimsy.
• Flexibility is a built-in safety function to protect your pool, solar cover, and swimmers.
•The China rigid metal mounting bracket worried a user to the point of cutting through the wall of his pool; for safety, he ground off all the pointed metal corners.
• Unlike rigid metal, polymer saddles will not destroy top rails, scrap paint off, or crush plastic top rails among other issues.
• Mounting bracket can be trimmed easily to mounted under plastic waffle top rails.
• Flexible design feature prevents mounting bolt heads from being pulled through the top rail.
• Safety, Duty Flex, mounting features, flexible mounting brackets, and shear pins reduce abuse of pool and are replaceable.
• Smooth thoughtfully designed one-piece saddle construction, no assembly required, 5 per set.

Verified Purchase
I bought this to store our solar cover. Easy to install using a drill and 1 1/2 screws.
Some reviews say it does not
work on the Intex pools but it works great.
I am pleased with my purchase and recommend it to keep your cover clean off the ground.
By Kassi
Used on my 22x52 Intex ultra frame pool works great.
Rating 5 of 5
I was very hesitant to buy these for my pool because nowhere did it say or show different ways to attach them.
If you have an area to screw it onto the pool frame (using a 1 1/2 inch screw) it will work on any pool.
Great product Review by Pat

Easy to install. The product is stronger than I thought it would be. We installed it on the long side of an 18 X 34 pool.
We used the 5 saddles and they hold the solar cover just fine off the ground.

The great product saves lots of time and mess
I just want to follow up on how I mounted the saddles on a Watson pool with the waffle top rail. I did my research and talked to lots of people and reviewed
the manufacturers,
solarsaddle.net, website and found that if you trim a small amount of the bracket it will fit between the waffles just great, and it did.
I talked with the customer service and
they said that was fine to do since lots do it.
Many reviews said it is flimsy it is not it is safe to use and the materials are very tough.
Love it!! Review by cakers
Rating 5 of 5
Every summer since we have had a pool the solar blanket was always wadded up on the deck and was such a pain to put on and take off.
It was usually never put on and therefore the water was usually cold.
I have to say that even my anti-pool husband commented on how easy it
was to cover and uncover the pool.
Our pool is 24' round and I have a 27' cover to go over the sides. I can now do it by myself in a matter
of minutes.
I suffer from disc disease in my back and it was not a problem going on or off! Well worth the money!!!!
For your family's safety and your pool's damage protection do not in any way attach any device that does not give way when sitting on
or can be
used for a ladder or any mounting method that acts as a lever or clamps on your poolside without safety features.
Including flexible mounting brackets
and shear pins, Please think about it!!
You or your insurance will not want to cover the cost of damage caused by it caving in or scrapping the sidewall and/or ripping
off the top rail.
Safety features must be included on all mounted products such as flexible mounting brackets and shear pins as mentioned above.
Safety First always!
Caution - Solar cover reels may be harmful to your health.
