The site and the problem
The uncovered pool collected leaves and dirt. The owner wanted to reduce routine cleaning and close the cover between uses while keeping the option of open-air swimming.
What the client needed
- Add cover over the existing pool.
- Keep a clear view through the panels.
- Use sliding sections for flexible access.
Design and installation approach
The aluminium enclosure was sized to the pool and fitted with clear polycarbonate panels. Its telescopic sections slide together to open the pool area.
Closing the sections provides a physical cover against falling leaves and debris.
The result
The pool has a retractable cover that can be adjusted between covered and open use. Clear panels maintain a bright appearance around the water.
