How the Fasteners Work
The FeherGuard fastening system uses a two-part design to securely attach your solar blanket to connecting straps:
- Strap Plate: The bracket component with slots that the strap threads through
- Plastic Screw: Threads through a small hole in the solar blanket and into the strap plate, creating a secure clamp
- Metal Screw: Attaches the opposite end of the strap directly to the reel tube
Installation Instructions
- Thread the strap through the slots in the strap plate following the directional arrows on the plate
- Position the strap plate at the desired location on the solar blanket edge
- Pierce a small hole through the solar blanket material
- Insert the plastic screw through the blanket hole and thread it into the strap plate
- Tighten firmly to secure the strap plate to the blanket
- Attach the opposite end of the strap to the reel tube using the provided stainless steel screw
- Repeat for all remaining straps
When to Replace Fasteners
Replace your fasteners if you experience any of these issues:
- Cracked or broken strap plates
- Stripped plastic screw threads
- Fasteners that no longer hold straps securely
- Brittleness or UV damage to plastic components
- Solar blanket pulling away from fasteners during use
- Missing or lost fastener components
Installation Tips
- Space fasteners evenly along the solar blanket edge for balanced coverage
- Typical installations use 8-12 straps depending on pool size
- Pre-mark fastener locations on the blanket before piercing holes
- Thread straps through strap plates following the arrow pattern to prevent slippage
- Don't overtighten plastic screws - firm hand pressure is sufficient
- Replace all fasteners at once if multiple are worn for uniform holding strength
Compatible With Complete Fastening Kits
If you need both straps and fasteners, consider these complete kit options:
- FG-FASKIT: Complete kit with 10 straps (26" length), 10 fastener sets, and mounting hardware
- FG-RS26: Straps only (26" length) if you only need to replace straps
Maintenance Recommendations
- Inspect fasteners monthly during pool season for signs of wear
- Check that plastic screws remain tight and secure
- Replace any cracked or damaged components immediately
- Clean fasteners periodically to remove debris and calcium buildup
- Store removed solar covers in a cool, dry location to extend fastener life
Note: This product includes fasteners only. Straps are not included. If you need straps, order part number FG-RS26 separately or purchase the complete FG-FASKIT which includes both straps and fasteners.
