The milk crate lives on the ground under the generator.
It's a solid one minute to set up and another to dismantle.

I also had a handy dandy crane that attached to my ladder. It allowed me to get the cover on the roof by myself.
I can't exactly tell by the picture you posted, but a harbor freight $100 truck crane might fit on the eave of your house.....

I hated it all... Every second of wrestling that 200lb bear, determined to trip and engulf me, 12 ft off the ground, while blindly dodging the vents and solar and ac and antennas.

If you have anything sharp, corners on solar, a poking bolt, the winds in the first month will shred your cover. I had to make silicone(fifty percent type one silicone and fifty percent cornstarch. Mix well. It hardens to a shoe sole hardness) ) corners and caps for EVERYTHING. Luckily we owned a 33inch throat sail making singer. 10,000 stitches and fifteen sewn in pads later, it STILL tried to whoop me every time I covered/uncovered.
To get it on the roof I unrolled it by the ladder. Grabbed the front and pull it up with me. Once on top I pulled the rest of the cover up Yes it was a pain. Mainly because of the 85* heat pounding on my head. I put pool noodles on all sharp areas.. time will tell on longevity.Jerry
