Fabrico Sun Dome FAQ
Answers about pool fit, complete kits, replacement covers, vinyl and screen options, installation, seasonal care, and the Fabrico warranty.

Pool Fit & Complete Kits
Which pools and spas can use a Fabrico Sun Dome?
We sell enclosures for metal- and resin-walled above-ground pools, soft-sided pools, inground pools, and spas and hot tubs. Each application has its own mounting requirements. Match the enclosure to your pool’s shape, dimensions, and mounting points.
Do I need a complete kit or a replacement cover?
A complete kit includes the frame, cover, and dome hardware. A replacement cover reuses a matching Fabrico frame and includes the cover and its fastening cords. Inspect the existing frame and brackets before ordering. Compare the kit and replacement-cover contents.
What measurements do I need before ordering?
For above-ground pools, record the shape, size, brand, and panel or upright count. Soft-sided pools also need top-rail measurements. For inground pools and spas, plan the enclosure footprint, wooden base, doorway, and clearance around the water. Our measuring guide covers each application.
What if my pool is not listed or I don’t know the model?
Send your pool’s brand, dimensions, and photos of the top rail and mounting points. For an existing dome, include any stock or model number and frame photos. Send your pool details so we can identify the matching enclosure or replacement cover.
Cover Options & Replacement
What is the difference between vinyl and screen covers?
Clear vinyl covers retain warmth and shelter the pool from debris. Zippered doors and screened windows provide ventilation. Screen covers combine a clear vinyl roof with mesh sides that let air circulate while keeping insects and leaves out.
Which screen colors are available?
Screen covers are available in blue, black, and forest green. Each cover is made to your pool measurements and is not returnable. Review the screen cover options and confirm your measurements before ordering.
Can I use vinyl and screen covers on the same frame?
Vinyl and screen replacement covers are available for matching Fabrico frames. Some customers switch to screen for summer airflow and vinyl for cooler months. Match your original dome model and measurements when selecting either replacement cover.
What should I check before replacing the cover?
Inspect the tubing and brackets for corrosion, deposits, and burrs that could damage a new cover. Remove rough spots; if light sanding does not resolve them, send us photos of the affected parts. Our frame-inspection guide explains what to check before ordering.
Installation, Seasonal Care & Warranty
Do I need to build a wooden base?
Inground pool and spa enclosures require a separate wooden base; the lumber is not included in the kit. Follow your model’s base dimensions and lumber requirements before building. Above-ground and soft-sided enclosures mount to the pool with the appropriate hardware. Review the installation manuals and base plans.
Where can I find installation instructions?
Our installation directory has manuals for above-ground, soft-sided, inground, and spa enclosures. Select the instructions for your pool or spa and dome model. For an older frame, send us the model number, measurements, and photos so we can help identify the instructions.
Can I leave my Sun Dome up all winter?
Sun Domes extend the swimming season but are not designed to support snow loads or withstand extremely heavy winds. Remove the cover for winter storage and follow the seasonal-use and weather guidance. Always provide ventilation, especially over a spa or hot tub.
What does the Fabrico warranty cover?
Fabrico’s one-year limited cover warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Weather damage is excluded, and warranty returns require written authorization. Read the full warranty terms and claim procedure, or call 800-982-6966 for help.
