A protective enclosure designed to cover an above-ground swimming area, typically constructed with a mesh material supported by a framework, prevents debris, insects, and ultraviolet rays from entering the pool. This structure, often dome-shaped, provides an extended swimming season by trapping heat and reducing water evaporation. As an example, leaves falling from nearby trees are kept out of the water, minimizing cleaning efforts.
The implementation of such a structure yields several advantages. Water quality is maintained, reducing chemical usage and associated costs. Physical safety is enhanced by restricting unsupervised access, particularly for children and pets. Historically, these enclosures represent an evolution in pool maintenance, progressing from simple pool covers to more sophisticated environmental control solutions.
