Frequently asked questions about telescopic pool enclosures

Q 1. Do I need planning permission for this type of pool enclosure?

Generally not, as the building is not a permanent structure. However, permission, would be requires for any commercial use, or the location is in a sensitive area.

Q 2. When can an enclosure be installed?

As soon as the paving around the swimming pool is completed.

Q 3. What type of glazing is used on the sides and ends?

6mm toughened glass is used to the sides and 6.4mm laminated glass is used to the ends.

Q 5. How do I maintain the enclosure?

No, this is due to our floor rail. Under the plinth profile a seal is mounted which presses against the rail on the whole of its length, not allowing unwanted intrusion.
