Project Overview
Located in Washington’s Pacific Northwest, this backyard pool often faced cool temperatures and frequent rain that limited its usability.
The homeowners wanted to create a space where they could enjoy swimming and relaxing around the pool regardless of the weather.
Project Details
Location: Edgewood, Washington
Industry: Residential
Roof System: CabrioEnclosure

Dimensions: 28 ft x 50 ft
Cabrio Solution
Cabrio Structures installed a custom CabrioEnclosure designed to withstand local weather conditions while maintaining natural light.
Edgewood uses:
- CabrioEnclosure roof system
- Single peak retractable enclosure design
- Automatic electric drive system
- Sliding doors and windows with flyscreens
The retractable enclosure bays slide smoothly along tracks, allowing the structure to open when the weather is clear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Enclosures in Edgewood, WA
Edgewood sits in the Puget Sound lowlands, where annual rainfall regularly exceeds 40 inches and overcast skies dominate from October through May. A retractable pool enclosure blocks rain and traps warmth inside the structure, so homeowners can swim comfortably even on drizzly 50-degree afternoons. On the handful of genuinely sunny days, the panels retract and the pool becomes a true open-air experience again.
Yes. Our enclosures are built to handle strong wind conditions common in the Puyallup Valley. Each system is engineered for local wind loads and designed to remain stable and secure without rattling or shifting. Every project is also customized to account for site conditions, building codes, and exposure.
An enclosed pool loses far less heat to evaporation and wind chill, the two biggest drivers of energy waste. Homeowners in the Pacific Northwest who add an enclosure typically see a meaningful drop in monthly heating bills because the structure acts as a passive solar collector on clear days and a thermal barrier on cold, wet nights. The result: a warmer pool with less heater runtime.
Not at all. Our enclosures use clear, high-transparency panels that let in over 90% of available daylight. Even under heavy cloud cover, the pool area stays bright and inviting. This matters in Edgewood, where diffused light is the norm for much of the year. The structure keeps you dry without making the space feel dark or closed off.
Panels naturally shed rainwater, helping them stay cleaner than expected. A simple rinse a few times per year removes pollen and debris, and occasional track lubrication keeps everything operating smoothly. Durable, powder-coated frames resist moisture and corrosion, even in Western Washington’s damp conditions. Most homeowners spend less than an hour per quarter on maintenance.
