Fixed or motorised cover
The choice depends on how the pool is used through the seasons.
- Fixed: the tensioned fabric roof stays in place and protects the pool all year round.
- Motorised: the membrane folds back to open the pool to the air, then extends to cover it, as at the Georges-Hermant swimming pool.
A structure calculated for your site
Our engineering office models the cover in 3D in SolidWorks and calculates the frame in Dlubal RFEM, using the snow and wind loads of the site. The frame is fabricated in our workshops in Étrépagny, then installed on site.
The air in a swimming pool is humid and laden with chlorine: the choice of fabric and the protection of the frame are studied with this environment in mind.
Building permit and regulations
A public swimming pool cover is a construction: at this scale, it generally requires a building permit. A swimming pool open to the public is also subject to French public-access building (ERP) regulations. The application is based on the drawings and the description of the structure prepared by our engineering office.
What affects the budget
Each cover is designed to measure: the price depends on the project. The main factors are as follows.
- The area to be covered and the shape of the pool.
- The choice of a fixed or motorised cover.
- The snow and wind loads of the site.
- The ground, the foundations and access to the site.
