The interlocking design allows for a quick, secure attachment that remains unaffected over time by weathering. The tension within the pool cover, along with the interlocking design, secures the 2-component attachment. The “half-moon” prong of the buckle is inserted through the open triangle shape of the other buckle half through the bottom, at an approximate 90-degree angle. The prong is then turned 90 degrees, rotated upward, and the two halves are “locked” into place. After the buckles are connected, the cover can be installed and tensioned over the pool. Tensioning prevents the 2 halves of the buckle from being rotated and disengaged. Disengagement can be performed once the pool cover anchoring hardware has been disengaged and the tension in the cover has been relieved.
