Great Service!
"We thought we would not be able to get something like this made to attach to our house. But, COVERS in Play found a way and now we go straight from inside the house to the pool enclosure without having to step out into the winter. It's great. No need to go south for the winter now."
Excellent Job Excellent Service!
"We have allowed a few prospective buyers to come out and view the retractable pool enclosure and have hosted quite a few parties showing off the enclosure... Which has sparked quite a bit of interest."
So Impressed!

Covers in Play enclosures boast a patented framing system crafted from extruded aluminum frames that are engineered to withstand formidable wind and snow loads. These frames are designed to provide expansive, unobstructive views without the need for trusses or cross members.
To further enhance the durability and aesthetic appeal of our enclosures, the aluminum frame undergoes a meticulous finishing process. Available in a diverse range of colors, the high quality architectural paint adds to the visual allure and offers exceptional resistance to moisture, color change, chalking, high shine shift, and chemical cleaning. In fact, our finish exceeds all AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) 2604 specifications, ensuring long-lasting performance and visual appeal.

Further enhance the design of your enclosure with glazing options that provide the clarity of an outdoor view while offering light-filtering privacy where needed.
Offering panoramic views, glass enclosures create a stunning visual impact, allowing natural light while protecting you from the elements.
Offers the same panoramic views as glass, with enhanced durability and affordability
The toughest option for enclosure panels offering a greater degree of privacy and heat retention
Enclosure glazing options are carefully selected to balance durability, heat retention, and affordability while providing protection from the elements, including UV. Typically, polycarbonate panels are utilized for the roof, ensuring the greatest durability and heat retention. Acrylic panels are typically the preferred choice for walls, offering similar panoramic views to glass but with greater durability and affordability.

It is increasingly common for homeowners and businesses to create outdoor spaces that provide the same comforts and amenities as those we find indoors. However, use of outdoor spaces is largely dictated by favourable weather.
Pool Enclosures serve to enhance and extend the opportunities we have to enjoy outdoor spaces by creating an indoor environment which provides protection from the elements, while maintaining a largely unobstructed view of the outdoors. While fixed enclosures are designed to be stationary, retractable enclosures are designed to be movable, allowing for usage as either an indoor or an outdoor space. Enclosures can also be built as an alternative to a traditional roof.
Pool Enclosure can be designed for either residential or commercial purposes. They are typically used to cover pools, spas, and patios, or as an alternative to a traditional roof. Given our extensive engineering expertise, Covers in Play enclosures can also be custom designed for almost any purpose such as tennis courts, industrial clean rooms, greenhouses, etc.
Primarily, enclosures extend and enhance the use of outdoor spaces so they can be enjoyed through every season, regardless of the weather.
Additional advantages are extensive, see our Benefits page for more details!
Retractable enclosures are composed of individual bays which telescopically retract, one inside the other. Each bay has its own wheels and the wheels are mounted on a track system, guiding each section as it opens and closes. The enclosure can be opened fully or partially and can be operated manually or automatically. An automated retractable enclosure opens and closes with the push of a button using Covers in Play’s patented drive system.
Yes! Even on cloudy days, the Pool Enclosure will trap solar energy. Just like sunrooms, solar energy can increase air temperature by 10-20°C/18-36°F while fully closed. If you have a heated pool or swim spa, the heated water can provide an additional source of heat as well. In most cases, the heat from the sun and the water will keep the enclosure at a comfortable temperature. However, in northern areas with more severe winters, an additional heat source is recommended.
Covers in Play enclosures are built with a patented automated drive system. Simply push a button and the Pool Enclosure easily opens or closes! Enclosures can also be designed without the automated drive system, therefore requiring them to be pushed open and closed manually.
Yes, you can almost always put an enclosure over an existing swimming pool or patio. However, modifications may be required to the site depending on the location and design of the desired enclosure. Please contact us to discuss the requirements for your specific site!
There are many variables that can influence the time needed to design, manufacture, and install a Pool Enclosure. With regard to the design process, it is largely dependent on the size and complexity of the project as well as the time needed to obtain any necessary permits. Following permit approval, it will generally take approximately 8-12 weeks, which includes 10-15 days for installation.
Covers in Play enclosures are designed with a patented framing system which ensures significant structural strength while also allowing for simplicity of construction and maintenance. As such, it is only necessary for Covers in Play to provide a supervisor for the duration of the installation, the cost of which is included in the price of the enclosure. Clients are asked to provide the needed general contractors, typically a minimum of 5 including 2 skilled contractors and 3 general contractors.
Yes! Covers in Play enclosures have many custom options, including the colour of the frame and the type of the glazing. Common frame colours include white, black and taupe but additional colour options are also available. Please contact us for more details!

The enclosure is designed to withstand winds exceeding 100 mph. No tie downs are necessary. However, it is recommended that the enclosure be fully closed in high wind situations.

Enclosures require a relatively smooth and level surface on which to be installed. The surface must also be capable of supporting the weight of the enclosure. For more information about surface requirements, please contact us.
Not at all! Typically, we only require accurate site measurements and photos.
While enclosures are designed to meet local building codes, you will need to contact your municipality to determine if a permit is required. Some municipalities may consider the enclosure to be a temporary, removable structure, in which case a permit may not be necessary. If a permit is required, COVERS in Play will assist you in providing any needed documentation or drawings.
Enclosures can be installed almost any time of the year.
Covers in Play enclosures were designed with a patented frame system which consists of minimal components, allowing for ease of installation and maintenance. As such, an enclosure can be built by general contractors with the assistance of a Covers in Play supervisor. The required number of contractors will depend on the size of the enclosure, but we generally recommend a team of five, including 2 people with experience in construction.
Enclosures are constructed with aluminum, acrylic, polycarbonate, and stainless steel components. All components are capable of withstanding high degrees of humidity so, unlike typical sunrooms, dehumidification is not required.
