Easiest pool enclosure imaginable!! With all the safety, cleaning and heating advantages too - the best!
Quick to open & close on my rectangular pool!!
Has many advantages, e.g. keeps pool clean and kids/pets safe and adds to pool heat retention, 100% evaporation control too and is durable.
Great for keeping kids safe!
