The pool covering system includes a pool covering tarp; and a tarp support structure for the pool covering tarp. The support structure supports the pool covering tarp above the surface of the pool in a tent like manner. The support structure includes a plurality of anchoring structures attached to the side rail, each anchoring structure includes at least one connector tab protrusion which has at least one fastener opening therein. The support structure also has a plurality of elongated structural support members having opposed end portions and at least one connector tab protrusion extending from or attached to each of the opposed end portions. The connector tab protrusions have at least one fastener opening therein. One of the connector tab protrusions of each elongated structural support member is pivotally connected to one of the anchoring structures by a fastening device which extends through both of the fastener openings thereof. The support structure also includes at least one support member collector having at least one connector tab protrusion for each of the structural support members and each of the connector tab protrusions having at least one fastener opening therein. The support member collector engages connector tab protrusions of structural support members which are not already connected to said anchoring structures.
