      Swimming pool enclosures are different from pool covers because you can keep swimming while a swimming pool enclosure is in use. Decide which type of swimming pool enclosure fits your needs the best, and then buy that type of enclosure.

      The most popular form of swimming pool enclosures is the sectional telescopic canopy. Put up the full canopy on cloudy days. Take down pieces or all of the canopy on sunny days to take full advantage of the summer heat. Run your sectional telescopic canopy by motor or by hand, depending on the brand of your swimming pool enclosure.

      A cheaper type of swimming pool enclosures is the bubble canopy. These swimming pool enclosures consist of bubbles which are put in place above the pool. Pump up the bubble and warm air will fill the area underneath the bubble, allowing swimming to occur on colder days. These swimming pool enclosures are cheaper, but they do not work as well on windy days because they blow away easily.
