Regards, Richard **Q: Pool enclosed** *(in Photo Questions)* Who can i contact to enclose our pool ? A: Yes there are products sold by companies out there, but not similar. They are designed for light snow , wind and can collapse if snow is not removed or must be taken down in high winds. Please read their warranty. An excerpt from their Warranty "Our warranty is no longer valid in wind over the insurance limit (15 m/sec.)" which works out to 54km/hr or 33.6 mph. And "There is no warranty applicable for the enclosure if it is not protected from the accumulated weight of snow. Pool enclosures must be immediately protected from snow and ice that must be immediately removed." See our blog on a collapsed enclosure http://www.coversinplay.com/blog/collapsible-enclosures-even-when-you-dont-want-it-to-be/ We recommend do your homework before purchasing an enclosure no matter where you live. **Q: pool enclosure** *(in Photo Questions)* How much does this cost? Thanks!

Regards, Richard **Q: hllfl** *(in Photo Questions)* where do we get an idea of cost and operation of retractble A: You can get more info from our website www.coverinsplay.com and our blog http://www.coversinplay.com/blog/category/pool-enclosures or contacting us directly on your Enclosure requirements. **Q: Love This...What is the approximate cost?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: People who purchase pool enclosures typically fall into two categories. There are those who simply want to swim or need to swim, whether for therapy, training or regular exercise. For most of these people, being in the water is the goal. There is no need for lounges, tables or chairs. For others, the pool enclosure is a space more for entertainment, for friends and family, tables and chairs, sunbathing lounges, even landscapes. Covers in Play can make enclosures to any width and any layout design. Enclosures can be designed to be hidden from view when retracted, on top or behind a building or projection, or in whatever way can be conceived. The system is completely versatile. If you can dream it, Covers in Play can build it. For more information see www.coversinplay.com or visit our blog at http://www.coversinplay.com/blog/ **Q: what kind of ventilation?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Convection, air pressure differential and air movement from the Covers in Play space heating system combine with the temperature differences of the air inside and outside the enclosure to permit comfortable humidity levels within the enclosure system in the 50 – 75 percent range during cooler months. These humidity levels will not harm the enclosure system or any building exterior walls to which it may be attached. Actual outdoor humidity levels are sometimes much higher at certain times of the year in some locales.
