Greenhouse to cover a pool: real advantages and tips

Covering a pool with a tunnel-type greenhouse is an increasingly popular solution. It's more economical than a traditional cover, assembles quickly and allows you to enjoy swimming during more months.

In this article we tell you why it works so well, what details to keep in mind and how to make the most of it.

Why a greenhouse is a good idea for your pool

By covering the pool with a light structure you get:

• Higher water temperature due to greenhouse effect.
• Less dirt and leaves in the water.
• Greater safety when not in use.
• Possibility to swim even on cool days.

It's a practical option to extend the season without major work.

Advantages over other covers

Rigid or motorized covers are usually more expensive. A plastic tunnel offers:

• More accessible price.
• Simple assembly and disassembly.
• Good ventilation with front doors.
• Possibility to remove it in summer if desired.

This makes it a flexible solution, ideal for those seeking functionality without complications.

What structure to choose

For pools we recommend:

• Galvanized steel arches with reinforcement.
• Three-layer plastic at 800 gauges with UV protection.
• Wide doors for ventilation and access.
• Firm anchoring to the ground, especially in windy areas.

A good structure prevents wind problems and ensures durability.

Usage tips

• Ventilate during strong sun hours to avoid excessive heat.
• Keep the plastic clean so more light enters.
• Check tensioners and anchors before windy periods.

With these practices the cover works better and lasts longer.
