Additional Information about the Universe Pool Enclosures

The Universe models are designed to have a roof height which you can walk under allowing you to get changed before you swim or dry off afterwards right under the enclosure.

The Universe line of pool enclosures offers a balanced compromise between a low and high enclosure. Universe has a rounded shape which gives a higher central line positioned over the middle of the pool. 

The wider the enclosure, the higher the center of the building is – if you opt for a wider model you can even place table, chairs or sun loungers under it.

Sliding or swinging doors can be fitted to the front and back walls of the enclosure.  Side-mounted sliding doors can be fitted into the side walls of the highest or lowest segment.
