Alternate Dome Installations:

For a wooden deck installation, the deck must completely surround the pool. The dome is mounted to the deck using a threaded eye-bolt system. These anchors are spaced approx. every 3 foot to provide an even "pull" on the dome for strength and also to prevent wrinkles on the walls of the pool dome. An additional piece of vinyl is mounted to the deck at the waters edge and hangs down into the water in order help create a proper air seal. Normally a piece of indoor/outdoor car- pet is provided by the customer to lay on top of the deck to prevent air leakage through the gaps in the wooden deck. When the pool dome is removed for the summer, the eyebolts are also removed leaving the deck free & clear of any obstructions.

To install a dome on the ground, pouring a concrete foundation is a good method to consider. The concrete "footing" can be poured "flush" with the ground so when the dome and anchor bolts are removed in the "off" season, the area around the pool is left unobstructed. The anchor bolts are positioned every 3' foot or so in this application. Extra area can be provided within the dome to allow for patio furniture and other items. This makes sense when small children are being supervised within the unit as the parent or other responsible individual can remain close at hand in order to monitor the use of the pool.

For areas that have grass or in situations where pouring a full footing is not desired, the use of concrete piers poured directly in the ground is another idea to think about. this method is also used for in ground pool installations where the deck of the pool is irregularly shaped and the wall(s) of the dome must "traverse" over a non concrete area such as a flower bed or area of grass. The tubing is 1-7/8" "Top Rail" as is normally used in chain link fences. Special Anchors are required and the poured in place concrete block spacing is 6' to 7'.

If your pool deck has steps, there are ways to accomplish that. Please give us a call, 1-800-982-6966. We have the experience to make your project work.

This mounting system allows us to place a dome over pools where spanning the water is necessary. To make this work, we use a cable system, turnbuckles, an oversize air-flap seal, carabiners, adjustable ballast containers, and UV protective holders. As you can see in the photos below, it works very well.

Should you have a special need not addressed on this web-site, please give us a call and we'll do our best to design a system that will allow you to enjoy the many benefits our domes offer!
