Fabrico Owner Experiences

Inground Enclosure Frame, Cover & Base

Fabrico inground pool enclosures shelter your pool, keep leaves and insects out, and extend the swimming season. The clear vinyl cover uses sunlight to warm the water and helps reduce evaporation and chemical use. We offer rectangular enclosures in a range of sizes. Your local climate determines how long you can keep swimming, including year-round use in areas without snow or severe winter weather.

Kit Contents & Wooden Base

Each inground Sun Dome kit includes the cover, frame, mounting hardware, and a complete installation manual. You supply the lumber for the wooden base. Installation time depends on the dome’s size, with larger domes generally taking a weekend to assemble.

Frame & Anchoring

The 1-inch-diameter anodized aluminum frame is designed for homeowner assembly. Galvanized steel braces support the tubing and attach with stainless steel screws at regular intervals around the wooden base. Anchor the base to the deck surface. The base accommodates a range of surfaces; follow the anchoring instructions for your installation.

Cover & Ventilation

Spread the 12-mil vinyl cover over the assembled frame. The fastening system secures the cover around the base, forming a consistent seal that shelters you and your pool from the weather.

Each unit has one zippered door and 4 to 16 zippered, screened windows for ventilation. Larger units have more windows.

Seasonal Use & Winter Storage

A Fabrico Sun Dome extends your swimming season, but 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 during the colder months.

Vinyl or Screen?

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 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.
