While very little maintenance is required, if you live in an area that produces a lot of dirt or dust, then occasional cleaning may be needed. The polycarbonate panels can be easily cleaned utilizing a soft sponge or cloth made from 100% cotton using lukewarm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Utilization of a pressure washer with a fanned nozzle and mild detergent can also be used to help clean hard to reach areas.

General guidelines:

• Never use abrasive or high alkaline cleaners on any polycarbonate product
• Do not leave cleaners on polycarbonate for extended periods of time. Rinse immediately with cold, clean water.
• Do not apply cleaners in direct sunlight.
• Never use sharp objects, squeegees or razors on polycarbonate.
• Always practice safety first and never step directly on a polycarbonate panel.
• Always test cleaners in a small inconspicuous area prior to cleaning entire panel to insure against adverse results.
• Avoid allowing the pressure washer spray tip to come too close to the panel.
• Avoid cleaning while dry, as sand and dust particles clinging to the exterior of the panels may scratch the surface.

The building permit requirements are determined by your local city or municipality. If a permit is required, we can provide you with necessary documentation for you to obtain permit approval.

If a pool enclosure is shipped to you with the segments fully built (under 7’6”)  a local handyman, pool company or handy homeowner can do the install. Typical pool enclosures require 2-4 people and take one to two days to install. A spa dome enclosure install typically require 2-3 people for a one day install.

The COMPACT polycarbonate for both, the pool and spa enclosures are available in Clear (Transparent), Bronze Shaded Panels (Smoked) for Privacy or Embossed (Translucent) for complete Privacy. Additionally, for the pool enclosures, the Twin Wall Honeycomb polycarbonate is available in Clear and Smoked.

Yes, our enclosures are designed and built for year-round use. The polycarbonate panels allow the sun’s rays in while providing good insulation properties. The enclosures frame is equipped with a vinyl sweep that seals in the warm air and reduces the draft. This creates a warm enclosed environment, minimizing heat loss.

Our enclosures are designed and built to withstand your local building code requirements for snow. You should prevent an accumulation of higher amounts of snow on the enclosure. The weight of wet snow is several times higher than fresh snow. For example one foot of new snow weights 5.2 lbs/sf while 3-5 inches of compacted snow weighs 5.2 lbs/sf and 1 inch of ice weights 5.2 lbs/sf. If removing snow is needed, it should be done symmetrically, preferably from both sides at once, so that the structure is not unevenly loaded.

With proper maintenance, the lifespan of the aluminum structure and panels is over 20 years. Most customers use the enclosure long-term without needing major repairs.

Our enclosures are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including strong wind, rain, and snow loads. Robust aluminum profiles and solid panels are tested for loads corresponding to conditions of up to 100 km/h winds and several dozen kilograms of snow per square meter. Regular maintenance, such as removing excessive snow, helps extend the lifespan even in harsh weather.
