Above-Ground Enclosure Construction & Installation

What Comes With Your Kit

A complete above-ground Sun Dome kit includes the dome framework, cover, and mounting hardware. The frame mounts to the pool’s top rail, and the cover secures to hooks on the uprights.

Each dome includes a complete installation manual. Use the manual for your pool type to prepare your tools and mounting points:

All Sun Domes come with a 1-year warranty, but well-cared-for covers can last for several seasons. See the warranty and care guidance.

Frame & Mounting

The 1-inch-diameter anodized aluminum framework is designed for homeowner installation. Galvanized steel braces support the tubing and mount at regular intervals around the pool’s top cap. Stainless steel screws hold the braces in place.

On a round pool, all tubing arms meet at the center in a “spider” assembly that holds them securely in place. All pool dome hardware is included in the price of a Sun Dome.

Cover & Attachment

Select a vinyl cover or screen cover to spread over the assembled framework.

Aluminum hooks fasten to each upright on your pool. Tie-downs secure the cover to those hooks at regular intervals.

Door & Ventilation

  • Every unit: One zippered door opening.
  • Vinyl covers: Two screened windows on smaller units or three on larger units provide ventilation.
  • Screen covers: Air circulates through the mesh sides, so separate windows are not needed.

Seasonal Use & Winter Storage

An above-ground pool dome shelters the water and swimming area so you can enjoy the pool earlier in spring and later in fall. Follow the seasonal-use guidance: it is not designed to support snow loads or withstand extremely heavy winds.

Remove the cover for winter storage. You can also remove the framework to make room for a full winter pool cover.

Clear Vinyl for a Longer Swim Season

Clear vinyl lets sunlight warm the water and holds warmth around the pool. Zippered doors and screened windows let you control ventilation. Remove the cover before snow or extremely heavy winds.

Screen for More Airflow

Screen domes combine a clear vinyl roof with mesh sides that let air circulate while keeping insects and leaves out. Screen covers are available in blue, black, and forest green. Each screen cover is made to your measurements and is not returnable.

Complete Kit or Replacement?

Complete Enclosure Kit

Start with a complete kit when you need both the framework and the cover. Inground pools and spas require a separate wooden base, while soft-sided pools need mounting brackets matched to their top rails.

Replacement Cover

Replace just the cover when your existing Fabrico frame and brackets are in good condition. To identify the matching cover, we’ll need your original stock or model number, pool dimensions and details, and photos of the existing dome.

Plan the Fit Before You Order

Above-Ground Pools

Record the brand, shape, and dimensions, then count the panels or uprights around the pool.

Soft-Sided Pools

Measure the pool and note the top-rail shape and mounting dimensions so the brackets match your frame.

Inground Pools & Spas

Measure the pool or spa and allow room for the wooden base, door access, and walking around the water.

Existing dome or unlisted pool? Send us your pool’s brand and dimensions, any dome model or stock number, and photos of the frame and mounting points. We use these details to identify the kit or replacement cover that fits.

Sun Dome Fit & Ordering Questions

Will a Sun Dome fit my pool?

The correct dome matches your pool’s shape, dimensions, construction, and mounting points. Select your pool type under Get Prices. If your model is not listed, send us its measurements and photos so we can match the mounting requirements.

Can I replace just the cover?

Yes. We sell replacement vinyl and screen covers for existing Fabrico frames. Match the original model and dimensions, and inspect the frame before ordering. Pool size alone does not identify the correct replacement cover.

What must I supply for an inground pool or spa?

These enclosures require a wooden base that is not included. Use the model-specific installation manual and base dimensions to plan the materials and placement.

Where are the installation instructions?

Our installation guides cover each pool and spa application. You can also download Fabrico’s manuals, care instructions, and model-specific base drawings. Send us the model number and photos if you need instructions for an older frame.
