Swim Year-Round with Confidence: Why Oasis Pool Enclosures Are the Best Investment for Your Home

 Structural Integrity.

Our swimming pool enclosures are considered permanent buildings. We use 6061-T6 structural aluminum on all structural members. The building will never rust.

We also design all swimming pool enclosures to meet local building codes in effect for your area. These strict codes don’t apply to sheds, canopies, garages or even hobby greenhouses, but they are required for homes and commercial buildings.

All customers receive a “project-specific” engineering report stamped by a structural engineer from your state. 

Our report will be based on YOUR enclosure and will include several all-important design factors.

• Dead load: The weight of the pool enclosure itself.
• Live or snow load: the weight of snow that could accumulate in your area
• Wind load: the highest wind speed in your area
• Allowable deflection: the amount that a structural member will deflect when all of the above loads are applied to the structure at the same time. And, the member will return to its original shape when the loads are removed. In other words: NO DAMAGE

Being “up to code” means your family will be in a safe environment when enjoying the new addition to your home.  Since 1980, with over 20,000 glazed projects we have never had a structural failure. Your family’s safety is more important than anything else.

Insulated Glazing

(Glazing is the glass or polycarbonate materials used for the walls/windows/ceiling of the pool enclosure. It’s also the term for installing all of these items.)
We use a multitude of insulated glazing materials because an insulated building significantly reduces condensation within the pool enclosure. It also reduces the dramatic temperature swings you experience in a glazed building with single panes.

An enclosure using a single pane plastic or glass will accumulate large amounts of condensation. So much so that any vibration of the building (door opening / closing, wind etc) causes the condensation droplets to fall. Even without vibration once the condensation droplets get so large they fall on their own – it’s a phenomenon we all know as rain. If you heat your pool in the winter months this creates even more condensation. Your entire swimming pool area will always be wet.
