Pool and hot tub enclosures

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.

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.

Polycarbonate panels are 3mm – 10mm thick (Approx 1/8″ – 1/2″ thick). They provide the perfect combination of strength, high impact resistance, good acoustical insulation, high clarity and light transmission. The polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, flexible, lightweight, and weather resistant and protects against harmful UV radiation.

The widths are generally to 45 feet, and all lengths can be accommodated. However, this would be based on wind and snow load requirements where installed.

The enclosure is equipped with locking devices/pins for each door to safely close doors to guard against unwanted entry.

Yes, the polycarbonate panels protect your skin from harmful UV radiation.

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.

Yes, condensation inside the twin-walled polycarbonate is normal and it is impossible to avoid it. This condensed water is disposed by drain channels.

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.
