and then for the bracket I initially made one myself out of aluminum, it was just a piece of you-know-what 20 gauge aluminum sheeting that I had sitting around and just cut it with a angle grinder and drill some holes, but that didn't quite hold up to the weight or force of the cover so I went to a store and bought a hinge. So what I did was instead of buying $150 ropes, because one of the main weak point seems to be the webbing, that's so I got/made a bracket that attaches to the part of the cover with the metal plate that has four screws, there's one on each side that's where the webbing on the Rope bolts to, and then used a rope stop that I got from Lowe's. So I read about the normal cost like $800 or more even and I do a lot of stuff myself and make things although I have no training for this and only have about $200 worth of tools to do it with so anyone could do what I've done. its a coverstar pool cover put in in April of 2014 so it's been about three and a half years when one ropes broke and the other was very close to going right at the webbing. I just wanted to share what I did when our pool ropes broke.
