Summer in the Russian regions can not be called long. During the hot period in most areas for swimming are widely used natural water bodies: lakes, ponds, rivers.
But what about those who live far from the river? Of course, the most rational way out in this case will be the installation of an artificial pool from the materials we are used to in the usual summer cottage.
Of course, such a structure requires additional care, if only because its water will be clogged with dust and various plant debris. To protect him from this kind of trouble, a protecting pavilion is erected above the pool.
To date greenhouse pool is actively gaining popularity. By the way, the owners of such structures have already appreciated them and left a lot of positive feedback on this issue.
Greenhouse pool
The simplest pool-greenhouse easy to build with your own hands, applying for this polycarbonate or other translucent materials.
As a frame usually used profile tube. Its use allows you to give buildings a neat and aesthetic look.
This kind of building has several purposes.:
- With the help of polycarbonate, you can arrange a comfortable recreation area next to the dacha pool.
- The greenhouse swimming pool at the summer cottage is perfectly protected from pollution and does not require regular cleaning.
- On sunny days, people bathing in such a pool are well protected from ultraviolet radiation harmful to the human body.
- The polycarbonate greenhouse swimming pool can be operated in all weather conditions.
- Significantly reduced energy costs and other options for heating the reservoir.
- Pavilion extends the life of the pool and reduces the cost of its maintenance and repair.
Materials and construction requirements
You can make a pavilion above a pool of sheet polycarbonate on your own, it does not take a lot of time and effort. To this end, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- Polycarbonate.
- Square or rectangular shaped tube.
- Welding machine.
- Shovel and concrete mixer.
- Concrete mix.
- Fasteners.
- Jigsaw and screwdriver.
Benefits This type of cover, like polycarbonate, is plentiful. Some of the most important ones are:
- In the process of building a swimming pool, greenhouses use environmentally friendly materials.
- The building itself, as well as the materials from which it is made, is durable and has a low weight, which does not require extra costs during transportation.
- The design is resistant to the negative manifestations of the environment.
- Inside the polycarbonate pool-greenhouse the volume of water evaporation decreases, the optimum moisture regime is maintained.
- The aquatic environment of the basin is well protected from pathogenic microflora, in particular, from its occurrence and subsequent reproduction.
- The construction can be built independently, without involving specialists for this purpose, but simply by preparing the necessary tools and materials.
- Materials for construction have an affordable cost.
- The long period of operation exceeding 10 years.
- Fire resistance of the pavilion and good light transmission.
- The construction is easy to maintain. Polycarbonate is cleaned from dirt using ordinary detergents. The frame of the building (from the profile pipe) periodically requires painting to protect against rust. And the structure with a frame of sawn timber needs to be checked from time to time for the presence of rot and mold.
Requirements for construction
- The pool bowl is protected in different ways. The canopy closes a reservoir on the one hand or from several. Often, a full-fledged pavilion is built - the most reliable shelter.
- The coating is selected stationary or sliding (telescopic). The latter is rapidly transforming: this is its big plus, but it is rather difficult to manufacture. This is a minus.
- The type of swimming pool determines the shape of the pool itself. It is rectangular, combined, and also round.
The polycarbonate pavilion itself, built over the dacha pool and made by hand, can be of different shapes:
- Asymmetric. Reminds poluarku. It has a vertical wall along the building plus a roof on its opposite side. Vertically facing walls protrude to the door. This option makes the building surround, able to accommodate a recreation area.
- Pavilion in the form of a dome. It is installed if the bowl of the reservoir has a round shape. When self-erecting the polycarbonate will have to be cut into segments. But the construction turns out spectacular and aesthetic.
- The arched and pitched pavilions have two longitudinal vertical walls. Build them yourself - quite simple.
Features of the mounting structure and its strengthening
- Swimming pool-greenhouse requires a good foundation. To do this, you need to fill the foundation in 50 cm with concrete and reinforcement, and then build a frame.
- Before the construction of the frame should determine the shape of the future construction.
- The skeleton on the foundation is bolted.
- Arcs and stiffeners of the frame are fixed with special fastening elements.
- The frame is covered with anti-corrosion compounds, and then painted.
- Further, the design is sheathed with a covering material.
The possibility of year-round operation
As noted above, the potential of the basin during the short summer season cannot be fully exploited. In particular, when it starts to rain or autumn approaches, even sitting next to a pond will not work: it will not bring any pleasure.
But you can make a greenhouse under the pool in such a way that the construction was operated all year round. For this installation of the structure is carried out directly on the foundation. Of course, before installing the frame, it is necessary to reinforce the foundation so that the finished building serves its owner as long as possible.
Polycarbonate dome pool will give the construction of the illusion of weightlessness. The room will be transparent and closed on all sides. The greenhouse effect created inside will allow you to swim in a comfortable atmosphere in any weather.
It should be noted, and the fact that only a high hermetic pavilion will allow exploiting the reservoir all year round.
Dug into the ground, it will take over the heat of the soil, and the roof device will not allow this heat to go outside. But provided that the region has mild winters.

If there is no time and effort for the independent construction of the greenhouse basin, ready set for its construction, you can always order in a specialized company and use the services of its specialists.
The most expensive so far are considered German designs, characterized by high quality. Chinese buildings are affordable, but they are much inferior in quality.
