The best way to approach this is to ask your self what is the main purpose for your pool and enclosure? Is the pool used
mainly for exercise? For physical therapy, entertaining or do you just want the pool area to be safe? Another factor to
consider is the size of the area you are working with and your budget. Some of our premium models, like the Ellipse or High Shield, feature a retractable pool roof system that allows you to enjoy the outdoors while staying protected year-round.
We recommend you draw an imaginary box around the pool or patio area that you are looking to cover or enclose. This box does not have to be centered on the area, but can be offset to keep the size and the cost down. The width and height may be adjusted to your personnel preference while the lengths remain incrementally uniform. Once you have all of your dimensions you may choose one of our models. These enclosures work great whether you need an everyday solution or a compact swimming pool shelter for added safety and simplicity.
Do you want the pool area is to be an extension of your home? If so consider the Ellipse, High/Medium or Sunroom models. Usually these models offer additional space for lounge chairs, tables, exercise equipment, etc. Do you want to swim everyday and greatly reduce your pool maintenance? If so consider our economical Low Shield or Hard Top Non Retractable Enclosure Models. These models also allow you to create elegant and functional indoor pool enclosures that feel like a natural part of your living space.
