Project Overview
Located in Des Moines, Iowa, this backyard pool was designed to be a place for relaxation, entertaining, and spending time with family and friends. However, like many outdoor pools in the Midwest, seasonal weather limited how often the space could truly be enjoyed.
Cold winters, wind, and debris often shortened the swimming season and made the pool area difficult to use comfortably. The homeowners wanted a way to protect the pool while still preserving the open, outdoor feel of their backyard retreat.
Their goal was to create a flexible space that could adapt to changing weather conditions while allowing the pool to remain a central gathering place throughout the year.
Cabrio Solution
Cabrio Structures designed and installed a custom CabrioEnclosure that transforms the pool area into a bright, protected environment while maintaining the connection to the outdoors.
Des Moines uses:
- CabrioEnclosure roof system
- Single-peak enclosure design
- Clear acrylic wall panels
- Sliding door access points
The clear panels allow natural light to fill the space while protecting the pool from wind, rain, and debris. Sliding doors provide ventilation and easy access when the weather is warm, allowing the space to feel open and connected to the backyard.
Result
Extended Swimming Season
The enclosure allows the homeowners to enjoy their pool far beyond the traditional summer months, creating more opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
Comfortable Entertaining Space
Friends and family can gather around the pool in a sheltered environment that protects guests from changing weather conditions.
Protection from the Elements
The structure shields the pool area from wind, rain, and debris, helping keep the water cleaner and reducing maintenance.
A Year-Round Backyard Retreat
By enclosing the pool area, the homeowners transformed their backyard into a versatile space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
