If you’re thinking of purchasing a retractable pool enclosure, you may well have some questions. Here are a few things to consider before you go ahead…
1. What is a retractable pool enclosure?
A retractable pool enclosure is an aluminum and polycarbonate (plastics) structure that covers a pool area, offering protection against UV, and reducing the normal cleaning, and maintenance requirements. The Enclosure turns an outdoor pool into an indoor pool when needed.
The Retractable Enclosure would allow you to use your pool all year round. Having a retractable pool enclosure is extremely beneficial for homeowners, condominiums, hotels, resorts, spas, restaurants, or other organizations having pools for commercial purposes, as well as nonprofit organizations.
2. Are pool enclosures worth it?
The short answer would be – it depends since everyone has an opinion on whether they want a pool for all-year use or just warm-weather use.
Having a retractable pool enclosure has a lot of benefits. Reducing pool maintenance costs is just one of them.
Closing the pool for the winter is not every pool owner’s favorite task. Then, in the spring, come all the tasks associated with re-opening the pool. Sometimes you might spend more time maintaining your pool than you spend enjoying it.
The retractable pool enclosure spares you all that as well as significantly decreasing the time for maintenance.
3. How long do pool enclosures last?
The DynaDome’s retractable pool enclosure is a solid, sustainable building. None of the materials used are affected by condensation or pool chemicals.
The anodized finish has a 20-plus-year warranty, and there is a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty for the polycarbonate sheets against hail and discoloration.
All of our DynaDome Enclosures are engineered to comply with the building code requirements specific to each project. You will receive stamped plans from a licensed engineer for your state showing that the DynaDome will meet your local building code requirements.
4. Does the Retractable Enclosure really turn an outdoor pool into an indoor pool?
This is exactly what DynaDome specializes in. With our retractable pool enclosures, you can turn your outdoor pool into an indoor pool in less than 2 minutes.
The retractable pool enclosure allows you to swim in the winter, while you can still enjoy swimming outdoors in the summer.
5. How easy is it to open and close the Enclosure?
Because of the unique design of the roller system, only one person is needed to open/close the Enclosure
6. How sustainable is the Retractable Enclosure to extreme weather like wind and snow?
Our structures are designed and built to withstand your local requirements in terms of snow and wind, as well as other structural loads. You don’t have to remove the snow from the roof of the Enclosure.
7. How much does a pool enclosure cost?
Although there are many variables to consider, for most residential pool enclosures, generally speaking, the price is between $85/ft2 and $95/ft2. The area that is considered when calculating the price is the overall footprint of the DynaDome. For most commercial pool enclosures, the price is between $100/ft2 and $115/ft2.
