View This Pool Dome AlbumKeep swimming beyond summer with a custom inflatable Ameri-Dome for your backyard pool.
Make more room in your year for family swims, morning laps and water exercise. Enclose your pool and surrounding deck to shelter swimmers from wind and rain, keep leaves and debris out, and help retain warmth around the water.
Made for residential pool-and-deck areas under 3,000 square feet and designed to be set up or taken down by just a few people in a single day. Select your colors, anchoring and entrance, then enjoy an enclosed pool in cooler months and an open-air pool in summer.
Your pool can be a place for morning laps, water exercise and time together well beyond the usual summer season. An Ameri-Dome encloses the water and deck in an air-supported vinyl shelter, so you can walk in and swim without first removing a cover from the water.
Wind, rain and cooler air can cut a swim short. A dome shelters the space around you, making it easier to keep your swimming routine through spring and fall. With the appropriate pool heating and cold-weather setup, owners also swim through winter.
Plan for Your ClimateThe enclosure holds warm air above the water, captures warmth from the sun and reduces evaporation. That helps reduce heat loss and the water and chemicals you need to replace. It puts more of your pool-heating effort to use inside the enclosure.
How a Dome Helps Reduce Operating CostsLeaves, flying insects and windblown debris stay outside the enclosure. Less debris in the water means less to skim out before a swim, leaving more time for the reason you bought your pool in the first place.
Explore Everyday Pool BenefitsYou can remove the dome for an open-air summer and put it back up for the cooler season. Clear walls keep the yard in view; custom shapes and entrance options help the enclosure work with your existing deck.
A pool dome shelters swimmers from wind and rain and helps retain warmth. For winter use, plan pool heating, water circulation and the electrical supply for the blower that keeps your dome inflated. Your climate and pool setup determine the operating needs.
Tell us your location and the months you want to swim. Review the cold-weather operating guidance before selecting your setup, including precautions for freezing temperatures and snow. You can remove the dome for summer; allow space to clean, dry and store it.
Residential Ameri-Domes cover areas under 3,000 square feet, including the pool and the deck space inside the enclosure. For larger areas or public facilities, explore commercial pool domes.

“I love it and brag about it all the time. I will be enjoying my dome all winter and for years to come. Thanks for such a great, well-made product. This is my second Ameri-Dome.”
Joseph R. — Nevada
“I got a lot of swimming in and loved it while Portland was being bombarded with incessant rain. The early returns on the product are very good, and I thank you for your assistance and support.”
Ron H.
“The installation was much easier than I expected. It is amazing how much warmer it is in the dome, even when it is well below freezing outside. Just being in the dome, out of the wind, makes a huge difference.”
Mike B.
“Shirley and I love it. It is holding up like a champ after the first winter, and we could not ask for more.”
Todd and Shirley N.
“We are enjoying our dome through snow and cold weather. We swim every day.”
Larry
“We are very pleased with the dome and feel we made the right decision. The dome is a success in our house, and our family is very pleased with it. Thanks again for all the support from you and your company.”
B. Nadworny
“Fantastic bubble—ours has lasted 13 years already and is still like new. Zipper replacement has been the only maintenance required beyond an annual soap spray-down. They provided great support when we replaced our deck and had to install a new set of anchor bolts.”
John P. — Washington, DC
“We did have a weird shape, and installation was hard, but everything you said was true. We received the dome promptly in good condition, and all measurements were correct. Congratulations on a job well done.”
Steve and Nancy A.
“Ameri-Brand is awesome! Besides having a great product, their sales team, Shawn and Jake, were such a pleasure to deal with—super nice, patient, and accommodating. I highly recommend them.”
Chaya G. — Woodmere, New York
“We loved the dome all winter long, and we’re looking forward to using it again next fall through spring.”
Reinhard W. — Durham, North Carolina
Leave room to walk around the water, bring poolside seating inside, and select an entrance that works for the people using your pool. We make the enclosure for your site and help you connect these choices before you order.
| Your Choice | What to Consider | Explore the Details |
|---|---|---|
| Size & Shape | Include the deck space you want enclosed. Rectangular and custom footprints are available. | Measuring Your Pool Area |
| Colors & Walls | Keep your yard in view with clear walls, or select solid walls for privacy. Roof colors and stripes balance light and warmth. | View Colors & Styles |
| Anchoring | Cable anchors use deck sleeves. Water-tube ballast avoids perimeter deck anchors; exterior tie-downs are still required. | Compare Anchoring Systems |
| Entrance | Both systems support zipper entries. An airlock requires cable anchoring and room for the separate entry enclosure. | Explore the Airlock Entry |

Pool decks are not all alike. Share photos and measurements so we can review your layout and attachment needs.
Explore Alternative InstallationsInstall it yourself or work with a handyman or contractor. We provide the instructions and help you plan the setup.
Mark the perimeter, entrance and blower location using your original measurements. Start with our measuring guide.
Position the dome over the pool and secure it with your selected cable-anchor or water-tube system.
Set up the blower and controls, complete the entrance, and connect the power to inflate your enclosure.
Cable anchoring involves drilling and setting sleeves in the deck, then securing the dome’s perimeter cable to eyebolts. Water-tube ballast uses a filled perimeter tube and exterior tie-downs. Position the vinyl carefully without dragging it across the deck. An optional airlock takes additional assembly time and requires cable anchoring.
The package includes your custom dome, installation instructions, blower, pressure control, blower housing and snorkel tube, plus a patch kit and storage guidance. Cable-anchor packages include the anchors, eyebolts and anchor-setting tool. Review the complete package list with your selected configuration.
Our illustrated cable-anchor example starts at noon and reaches inflation at 5:45 p.m. Your time depends on the dome, site and options; allow extra time for an airlock. Seasonal reinstalls take less time because the deck-anchor holes are already in place.
Follow the instructions supplied with your dome. Preview the process in our illustrated guide below.
