As others have noted, this item is ONLY the aluminum poles. You have to purchase a crank/stand separately. Putting this together was a bit of a challenge to say the least and required a few trips to the hardware store. You basically have to telescope the poles to your desired length, drill through the metal, and then install bolts at right angles to one another all the way through the poles. I had a few challenges with installation: (1) The bolts included were different lengths, despite the directions saying that they should all be the same. (2) The "pre-drilled" holes are not at right angles to one another. As a result, I had to drill additional holes from scratch to get the bolts in the correct orientation. (3) The included straps that connect to the solar cover are quite short (roughly 2 feet each), so if your pool is anything other than perfectly rectangular, you're going to need longer straps. (4) Finally, you have to drill these holes plus additional holes for the straps through a metal pole within a few feet of your pool in order to get everything into the correct position. This was less than ideal for a place where we run around with bare feet. All of this said, once we got the poles together. They seem to work just fine without a huge amount of sagging across the span. If you can survive/improvise on the installation, they do the job.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Hydro Tools 51160 16-Foot by 3-Inch Aluminum In-Ground Pool Cross Pole Set" are high quality item.
