For covers with a winch: Insert one cable end through the hole at one end of the winch and into the center spindle.
To loosen or remove cable, turn turnbuckle in the opposite direction. Place the brass anchor into the hole and tamp it down carefully until flush with the deck using the tamper tool.Īdditionally, how do you remove a winch from a pool cover? Remove the anchor insert from the anchor. Vacuum or flush out the concrete dust in the bottom of the hole.
Subsequently, question is, how do you replace pool anchors in concrete? Drill about 2-1/4″ inches into the deck using a rotary hammer drill with a 3/4 inch masonry bit. Then tamp the anchor into the hole, using a tamping tool so you don't damage the hex key hole, or bend the top rim of the anchor. After drilling the hole, remove the dust with a blower, wet-dry vac or with a garden hose. If it's possible to remove the anchor, replace it by putting a new brass cover anchor in the opening.Ĭorrespondingly, how do you anchor a pool cover?īe sure to hold the drill perpendicular to the deck, to create a vertical hole. If the opening is raised, grab the edges with pliers so you can turn the pool cover anchor. Just tap the head of the screwdriver into the opening with a hammer and use pliers to turn the screwdriver.
