Enclosures

With weather like this who would use or consider having a pool? One way to counter that would be to consider a enclosure. Here are a few reasons why it could be the answer to our dreadful summers.
 

Extension	A swimming pool cover extends considerably the period of use of the swimming pool, thanks to « the greenhouse effect ». The first sun’s rays of the spring will be then the signal for the start of a swimming season that will go until the last days of the autumn.

Protection	In addition to the increased temperature, the pool cover contributes to the quality of water.The swimming pool is protected from usual pollutions: dusts, plants, small animals, rainwater… It is the quality of your bathing water that will be greatly improved.

Safety

The cover ensures the control of access to the swimming pool for young children. It is a key part of the safety regulations require for the changes made to the law in France (law n° 2003-09 of January 3rd, 2003). Pool covers should always conform with standard NF P90-309. The pool cover once securely closed becomes inaccessible to young children.

The most affordable style of enclosure is the Abrisud low profile. The following website being an excellent source of information and illustrations.  http://www.aquaflex.co.uk/159/Abrisud_Pool_Enclosures.aspx

Having been associated with both manufacturers we believe that these 2 enclosures are the best on the market.
This style of unit allows the client to retract the cover off the pool during those glorious English summer days, enjoying that true outdoor pool experience. However, when the weather turns wet and cold they can still get out and swim by pulling the enclosure shut, getting the best of both worlds.
The investment in an enclosure is always eye watering, however with the recent inclement weather and the ability to extend your swimming season more and more people are considering and installing them.
