“My dome has to be customized due to my pool configuration and both times the dome fit perfectly! This is an amazing company to work with and I highly recommend them.”
“We are quite pleased with it and were very impressed with the ease of installation. Our pool is 27' round and we, with the help of our 22 year old daughter, put it up ourselves.”
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.
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.
Compare the cover materials, then select a complete kit or a replacement 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
