Pool tents and inflatable domes. Extend the swimming season by 1.5 times

Many country site owners have a swimming pool. The most common model is a round frame pool. One of the problems with its operation is garbage that gets in with the wind and the water warms up in it in mid-latitudes only on hot, clear days.

In order for nothing superfluous to get into the water, and it warms up like in a greenhouse, you can make a frame from PVC pipes or just from bars in the shape of a geo-dome. There was an article about this: DIY geo-dome for a greenhouse or pool made of PVC pipes(inside a link to the second part).

But this needs to be calculated, purchased materials and manufactured. It is expensive to purchase a ready-made dome. Prices from 50 thousand. rubles for a diameter of 6 m. How to replace this dome? The most affordable solution is a mobile pool enclosure:

The design is one-to-one like a tent for outdoor recreation. Only instead of an opaque material or mesh, PVC film is used. Protection from wind, debris and a greenhouse effect. Price:

17 thous. rub. per 5 m in diameter. AND 21 thous. rub. - per 6 m diameter. Of the shortcomings - the frame must be attached to stretch marks. Otherwise it will be overturned by the wind. This can be inconvenient, you will stumble over the ropes.

The next option is a domed pavilion or a transparent tent:

The frame is of two types: metal and fiberglass reinforcement. The dome tent folds down to reveal the entire pool - which is convenient. Material - PVC film, which is used for flexible windows with a thickness of 0.6-1 mm. Or a polyurethane film. PVC film is durable, not afraid of ultraviolet radiation. Cost: from 12 thous. per diameter 3.6 m. There are oval designs.

The frame is fastened with spirals screwing into the ground, similar to a corkscrew. At the same time, the wind will not be able to pull out and carry away the dome.

The assembly of the dome is shown in a short video:

In Chinese online stores, I met this version of an inflatable pool dome:

The dome takes shape after creating the necessary pressure in the sections (like an inflatable ring). But the price is sky-high - 56 thous. rub plus delivery to the Russian Federation 77 thous. rub.

Also on aliexpress are sold inflatable domes for pools, inside which you need to maintain a slight pressure from the fan. An analogue is a children's inflatable slide or a trampoline in city recreation parks:

The transparent dome is attached to the base and water is pumped into the base. This is a weighting material to prevent the canopy from being blown away. A fan is connected to the dome, which constantly blows air inside. The pressure drop is small, but it is enough to keep the shape. When you go inside, the dome does not have time to noticeably reduce its volume.

We have not met any manufacturers of such domes. Although flexible window manufacturers could do that. Who reads this article - take the idea.

There are many offers on aliexpress, but all without the possibility of sending to Russia. Found such a seller with options: 6x3x2, 5m, 8x4x3m, 9x5x3m, 10x5x3m, 12x6x3m. Link

These domes and awnings will increase the swimming season by 1.5 times. The water will be clean, without debris caught with the wind into the pool. A dome is necessary, but not as cheap. Although, for those who built a pool and spent several hundred thousand rubles on it - a dome for 90 thousand rubles. as a logical ending for a comfortable use of the pool not 3 months a year, but 4-5.

This is a list of some of the most inexpensive turnkey pool tent and dome solutions. Pavilions with an aluminum frame cost hundreds of thousands of rubles. At the same time, the pool can cost as much as a house.
