The pool dome round

Looking for a round pool dome? The round SunnyTent is perfect for round and rectangular pools, including in-ground ones. The SunnyTent is a pool dome and pool heater in one. This means that dirt does not get into the water and the water is heated. At SunnyTent we have several sizes of round pool domes, the most popular size is the SunnyTent Round L. Do you have a large rectangular pool, then go for the Oval SunnyTent. Check which size SunnyTent fits around your pool using our size chart.

The SunnyTent is made of high-quality materials. For example, the tent fabric is made of three-layer PE film that is fused into one. This thick foil is also used in professional horticulture and is very sun-resistant. In addition, the pole sets are made of strong fiberglass from Germany. The swimming pool dome is manufactured entirely in Europe and according to European production standards.

The advantages of a round pool dome

The SunnyTent pool cover is the best way to cover your pool and heat it your pool. No more cold or dirty swimming water! These are not the only advantages of the pool tent. One of the other advantages is that the SunnyTent uses no energy to heat the water, so no energy costs either! In addition, the pool tent retains the warmth of the water so you can enjoy it from spring to autumn. Because the cover is placed over the pool, the water stays clean and you do not have to change the water as often. This saves litres of water. Keep the water extra clean by using chlorine and other cleaning products.

When can I go swimming in the SunnyTent?

Do you get the urge to go swimming in the spring? So do we! With the SunnyTent swimming pool dome, you can extend the swimming season by several months. You can usually start swimming as early as April. Of course, it varies from year to year, but by then there are no hard frosts and the temperature outside is between 10 and 15 degrees. The SunnyTent works like a greenhouse. From April to September the average temperature in a greenhouse is 25 °C, so you can enjoy your swimming pool until the end of September! Did you know you can also use the SunnyTent as a hot tub tent?

The round pool dome remains standing well in the wind. But where you set up the SunnyTent affects its wind resistance. If the tent is placed in a more sheltered location, it can withstand higher wind forces than if it were placed in an open space. You should however fold the SunnyTent when there is a strong wind or storm. This ensures that the tent remains intact. If you want extra sturdiness, we recommend using the cross pole set.

Are you planning to leave the SunnyTent up during the winter? You can, as the materials are winterproof. However, we recommend folding up the SunnyTent when there is snow or sleet falls so that the weight on the tent does not cause it to collapse. For the larger sizes of the SunnyTent round pool dome, we do not recommend leaving the tents outside during the winter. Due to its size, the tent remains sensitive, even with a cross pole set. You can find more information in our manuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SunnyTent?

A SunnyTent pool dome is a type of cover designed to enclose and protect an outdoor swimming pool. It is essentially a transparent dome-shaped structure that can be placed over a swimming pool to provide a range of benefits. Here are some of the benefits of using a SunnyTent:

  • Extended Swimming Season: The primary benefit of a pool dome is that it extends the swimming season. By creating a controlled environment, it helps to keep the pool water warmer, allowing you to use your pool earlier in the spring and later in the fall.
  • Increased Water Temperature: The dome's transparent foil allows sunlight to enter and trap heat, raising the water temperature inside the pool. This can reduce the need for heating systems, saving on energy costs.
  • Reduced Maintenance: A pool dome helps keep leaves, debris, and insects out of the pool, reducing the amount of time and effort required for cleaning and maintenance.
  • Energy Efficiency: By using the SunnyTent, the pool water is heated naturally. No more need for gas heaters and no more heating costs.
  • Aesthetics: Pool domes can enhance the appearance of your pool area, making it a more attractive and inviting space.
  • Weather Protection: A pool dome provides shelter from wind and rain, allowing you to use the pool in less-than-ideal conditions.

Can the SunnyTent be installed on a hard surface?

Yes, the SunnyTent can indeed be placed on a paved or hard surface. However, it's important to ensure that the SunnyTent is securely anchored to the ground using a hard surface installation kit. To determine if you require this kit and for detailed guidance on installation on a hard surface, please refer to the provided manual.

Does the SunnyTent really work that well, and how is it possible?

Heating Your Swimming Pool with the SunnyTent:

Yes, the SunnyTent is highly effective at heating your swimming pool. From mid-May to the end of August, it is common for the temperature inside the tent to rarely drop below 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Consequently, the water temperature typically reaches 77 degrees or higher during this period, all without the use of additional heating equipment. Please note that the actual temperature achieved depends on the climate and environment in your specific location.

How the SunnyTent Works:

The SunnyTent operates on the same principles as a greenhouse. In horticultural greenhouses, the interior temperature is typically much higher than the exterior temperature, especially during the mentioned period. Several factors influence how quickly the water heats up in the SunnyTent, including:

  • Sunlight: The more sunshine, the warmer it becomes inside the SunnyTent, leading to faster water heating.
  • Water Volume: The quantity of water and its initial temperature also play a role in the heating process.

To better understand the average temperature achieved in the SunnyTent, you can review the measurements taken by our customers, providing real-world insights into its effectiveness.

How do I set up the SunnyTent?

Setting up the pool dome varies slightly depending on the size of your SunnyTent. Larger sizes, such as the XL, have additional poles and specific instructions for double-pole placement. For detailed instructions tailored to your specific pool dome size, please refer to our instruction videos and manuals. In general, the following steps apply to all pool dome sizes:

  1. Place Locking Pegs: Arrange two locking pegs in a straight line, ensuring they are spaced at the correct distance from each other. This distance may vary based on your specific tent size.
  2. Replace Locking Pegs with Hinged Anchors: Replace the two locking pegs with hinged anchors, driving them straight into the ground until the pins make contact with the ground.
  3. Unfold the Tent Foil: Lay out the tent foil on the ground. Insert the poles into the connectors, ensuring they fit into the corresponding tunnels for each section of the foil.
  4. Position the SunnyTent: Place the SunnyTent between the two hinged anchors. Set the pole sets on the pins of the hinged anchor, making sure they are fully placed over the pins.
  5. Raise the SunnyTent: Lift the SunnyTent upward until it forms a complete circle. To evenly distribute the tent foil between the poles, gently shake the tent both horizontally and vertically.
  6. Secure with Twisting Pegs: Use twisting pegs to firmly secure the tent in place. Be cautious to avoid damaging the foil during this step.
  7. Attach the Guy Line: Attach the guy line and open the SunnyTent.
