Open-air comfort, rain or shine. Cover a rooftop pool deck or patio and keep it earning through every season, at the press of a button.
A rooftop pool deck is often the highest-margin square footage a hotel or club owns, and also the most exposed. Wind gusts, afternoon rain, and cold shoulder-season nights shut it down fast, and every closed day is revenue that walks off the roof. A Cabrio retractable enclosure gives operators direct control of that exposure.
On clear days the roof and walls retract fully, so guests get the open sky, breeze, and skyline views that drew them up there. When conditions turn, the enclosure closes in minutes and the deck keeps serving, whether that’s poolside cocktails in October or a booked-out event in February.
Northern markets feel this most. In cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Boston, and Denver, an unprotected rooftop realistically works four or five months a year. Enclosing it pushes usable time toward ten or eleven months, which changes the math on staffing, bookings, and payback. For a private, residential setting, our residential and indoor retractable pool enclosures cover that use case separately.
Clear spans with no welding or cross-bracing
Typical usable season in northern climates
Limited warranty on the system
Automated open and close, roof and walls
Rooftop weather comes from every direction, so covering only the top isn’t enough. Cabrio pairs a retractable roof with retractable or frameless glass walls, so operators can dial in exactly the amount of shelter a moment calls for.
Roof and walls retract completely for a true open-air deck, full sun, sightlines, and airflow across the whole space.
Keep the roof closed for shade or drizzle while walls stay open, or raise walls against wind while the sky stays clear.
Close everything into a weatherproof, climate-ready room for cold nights, storms, and off-season events, glass views intact.
Because our systems achieve clear spans up to 120 feet without welding or interior cross-bracing, the roof structure stays light and the deck stays free of columns and beams that would block movement, views, and pool sightlines. That matters on a roof, where added dead load and lifeguard visibility are real design constraints.
Built for operators who need the space earning in more than one way, across more of the calendar.
Keep the rooftop pool open for guests through shoulder seasons and cold snaps, protecting occupancy and amenity ratings.
Protect covers and turn tables in any forecast, so a rooftop bar keeps serving through drizzle, wind, and cold nights.
Deliver a members-only rooftop that performs in every season and stays a marquee reason to renew.
Sell rooftop weddings and functions with a guaranteed weather backup, so deposits never ride on the forecast.
Give residential towers and offices a rooftop amenity that stays usable and rentable long after summer ends.
For decks and patios past 100 feet, CabrioEnclosure XL covers the span without the mid-roof structure most systems require.
System Options
Every rooftop is engineered differently, so Cabrio offers two distinct build types. The right one depends on your roof deck, load path, and how you want the roof and walls to behave.
Roof and walls are connected and move as one integrated unit. A clean, unified enclosure for decks where the roof and glass walls open and close together.
Roof and walls operate separately on steel columns and headers, our patented approach to weather control. Ideal when you want independent management of overhead cover and wind protection.
For projects over 100 feet, CabrioEnclosure XL handles large-scale rooftops. All options are custom engineered and backed by our patent portfolio and a 20-year limited warranty.
