Swimming pool tensile covering – what is it and why it’s useful?

All of us enjoy taking a bath in a swimming pool, don’t we? While some of us are affluent enough to have one of them in our own home, others are not so lucky. But the urge remains same, nonetheless. Many a times, though, we find it rather difficult to swim under the sun for fear of getting roasted. (Not literally! Past: Don’t worry, swimming pool tensile covering will help you out)

Do you enjoy basking in the sun? Is the fear of summer sun making you uncomfortable? While it’s all good and well to have a cover over your swimming pool, in retrospect, you know it’s not that easy, courtesy high cost and time duration involved in its construction. Luckily, there’s a way out. With swimming pool tensile covering, you will be able to add not just a roof over your pool but also save a lot of time and money in the process. Want to know more about it? Keep on reading.

What’s a swimming pool tensile covering, BTW?

A swimming pool tensile covering means the same as it spells. It is just like a roof, albeit a tensile roof, devoid of brick and concrete. Made from tensile fabrics, they are being increasingly used nowadays as a means to cover the swimming pool at a fraction of cost and time as compared to a traditional roof cover. But what makes a swimming pool tensile covering so attractive? We will see that below.

What makes a swimming pool tensile covering so attractive?

Being made from tensile membranes, swimming pool tensile covering imbibes almost all of its properties. Also, each fabric membrane has its own unique qualities to offer. While some like ETFE may offer extended UV protection and self-cleansing abilities, others like PTFE offer unmatched tensile strength and weather resistance. It is by virtue of these tensile materials that a swimming pool tensile covering is gaining prominence. Some of the most recognizable features include –

• Amazing designs and shapes – given its exceptional elasticity and versatility, it is no wonder that a tensile membrane can be cut, welded and made into amazing shapes and designs. Since tensile structure (and by extension, swimming pool tensile covering) is mainly a combination of curves balanced atop the supports with anchorages and force of tension, it is relatively easy to re-form their shapes. All that you need to do is adjust the position of supports and rebalance them
• Durability – on an average a swimming pool tensile covering can last for at least 15-20 years. While some fabrics can last longer courtesy special coatings like PVDF or TiO2, others can extend their life by dint of their special properties like resistance to UV, dirt etc. Of course, it goes without saying that regular maintenance can significantly increase the durability of swimming pool tensile covering.
• Go rather well with gazebos – areas around the edge of a swimming pool tensile covering is vulnerable to water holes and slippages. To combat this, these are usually covered with patio or decks. But what good is a patio or deck without a gazebo? Tensile structure is usually integrated with patio gazebo or deck gazebo to enhance the utility of swimming pool areas, along with giving it distinct and attractive look.

Apart from these stand-out features, swimming pool tensile covering also exhibits other notable characteristics like strength and sturdiness, weather resistance/flame retardant, light transmissibility and aesthetics.
