Do I need to obtain a building permit for the DynaDome pool enclosure? |
|
| |
Our enclosures are designed to the International Building Code requirements for both Residential and Commercial buildings as it relates to the structural requirements.

|
| 9. |
Can I substitute my fence with your pool enclosure? |
|
| |
Since the pool enclosure can be a retractable structure, most municipalities will find it is not acceptable to take credit for the DynaDome pool enclosure as a safety/security barrier or fence. Most, if not all, municipalities require a safety/security fence to safeguard the pool owner from liability concerns. Contact your local building official for more information. Back to top |
|
| 10. |
Do I need a solar cover? |
|
| |
The solar cover will keep the pool from losing heatas well as minimizing your condensation within the pool area. The solar cover will help to retain approximately 90% of the heat and water. Back to top |
|
| 11. |
Can I swim in the winter? |
|
| |
Once the outside temperature falls below 45° F, a secondary source of heat may be required depending on personal preferences. The swimming pool is required to be heated with its own heater, and, when not in use, covered with the solar cover. The radiant heat from the pool, the heat from the sun through the solar transmission of the polycarbonate sheet and the heat from the secondary source will provide more than enough heat creating a pleasant environment for swimming.

|
| 15. |
How do I maintain the enclosure? |
|
| |
No maintenance is required. The DynaDome is designed such that the user (homeowner) is not required to maintain the structure at all. If you live in an area where the environment produces a lot of dirt and dust, then occasional cleaning with water from a hose may be needed. Back to top |

Can the DynaDome enclosure be attached to the house? |
|
| |
Absolutely. We have designed many enclosures that have been attached to the house, both lean-to enclosures and enclosures without an end-wall that start at the house.

We work with architects all of the time to design solutions for our customers. Back to top |
|
| 20. |
What colors are available for the enclosure? |
|
| |
The standard colors for the aluminum are clear and bronze. This is because we use the more expensive process of anodizing the aluminum to protect it. We used Powder Coating in the past for the color otions, but after 3-5 years, the Powder Coating would crack and peel. We felt that the structure deserved a quality protectant, which is why we chose anodizing. The polycarbonate sheets come in clear, bronze and opal colors.

What are the components of the DynaDome pool enclosure? |
|
| |
The structural components (framing members) are aircraft‑quality aluminum alloy 6061‑T6. The aluminum is anodized to clear or bronze color. The anodized aluminum resists corrosion from the chemicals in the pool and air so that your structure will not degrade over time.
All the fasteners are 304 stainless steel material, or equivalent to provide the bolt strength required for all the critical joints and are stainless steel so there won’t be any rusting bolts on our enclosures.
The glazing on the roof is multi-wall polycarbonate sheet that provides thermal insulation and filters out most of the harmful UV rays from the sun. The polycarbonate comes in three standard colors: clear, opal and bronze. Custom colors available on request.
The glazing on the side walls and end walls are clear Lexan to break the greenhouse look and add aethetic beauty to your property. Many colors to choose from for the side and end wall glazing. Back to top |
