Swimming Pool Enclosures, Shelters & Cover Tents

Gala Tent supplies marquee swimming pool enclosures that cover your pool quickly and affordably, in sizes from 4m x 6m up to a substantial 9m x 30m. They keep out wind, rain and leaves, hold warmth in to extend your swimming season, and give domestic and commercial pools a clean, sheltered space, all for a fraction of the cost and disruption of a permanent enclosure.

These are marquee-based structures rather than fixed polycarbonate builds, which is exactly what makes them cost-effective, quick to put up, and removable when you want the pool open to the sky again. Whether you need seasonal cover or a longer-term semi-permanent enclosure, there's a frame and size to suit.

A Cost-Effective Alternative to Permanent Pool Enclosures

A permanent, bricks-and-mortar or polycarbonate pool enclosure runs into serious money and weeks of installation. A Gala Tent marquee enclosure gives you covered, weather-protected swimming for a small fraction of that, using a slot-together or modular framework you can erect without specialist equipment.

For short to medium-term cover, the standard marquee range goes up easily and stands firm. For stronger, longer-term cover, the Fusion modular range pairs a commercial-grade aluminium frame with heavy 750gsm PVC, giving you a robust semi-permanent enclosure up to 9m x 30m at a relatively low cost. Both can be taken down and moved if your needs change, which a permanent structure can't.

Swimming Pool Enclosures for Every Setting

Domestic & Garden Pools

For a home pool, an enclosure extends your swimming season well beyond high summer, cuts down on leaves and debris, and keeps the water warmer for longer. It works equally well over in-ground and above-ground pools.

Commercial & Club Pools

Hotels, schools, leisure centres and swimming clubs use enclosures to keep a pool usable in poor weather and to protect it out of season. A commercial marquee enclosure gives a large, durable covered space that stands up to heavy, year-round use.

Events & Temporary Pool Cover

For a one-off, an enclosure can cover a pool for an event, turn it into a covered feature, or shelter a poolside gathering. The structure goes up for the occasion and comes straight back down afterwards.

Choosing the Right Pool Enclosure

Size

Measure your pool plus the surround you want covered for walkways and seating. The range spans 4m x 6m up to 9m x 30m, so there's a fit for everything from a compact garden pool to a full commercial lane pool.

Frame & Cover

PE-covered marquees are the budget-friendly entry point; Elite PVC covers are wipe-clean and tougher; the Fusion's aluminium frame and 750gsm PVC are the strongest option for exposed sites or long-term use.

Flooring & Extras

We also supply Swisstrax modular flooring, which is non-slip and self-draining, making a safe, practical surface for a pool surround.

How Much Do Swimming Pool Enclosures Cost?

Cost depends on three things: the size you need, the frame type, and the cover spec. Smaller PVC marquee enclosures start from a few hundred pounds, while large Fusion modular enclosures for commercial pools run into the low thousands. Against a permanent enclosure costing many times more, a marquee enclosure is the budget-friendly route to covered swimming. For an exact figure, tell us your pool dimensions and we'll put together a tailored quote.

Trading since 1999, Gala Tent supplies structures complete with instructions, all the fixings you need, and a fire certificate, so you can erect yours safely. Stock items come with free next working day delivery and up to 5 years' warranty, so the enclosure arrives quickly and lasts. For anything outside the standard range, we offer bespoke pool enclosures as a special order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a swimming pool enclosure cost?
It depends on size, frame and cover. Smaller PVC marquee enclosures start from a few hundred pounds, with large commercial Fusion enclosures reaching the low thousands — still well below the cost of a permanent build. Send us your pool size for a tailored quote.
Can you use a marquee as a swimming pool enclosure?
Yes. A marquee makes a practical, cost-effective pool enclosure, giving overhead and side cover that keeps out weather and debris while holding warmth in. It's the approach Gala Tent specialises in.
What sizes do the enclosures come in?
From 4m x 6m up to 9m x 30m, covering everything from a small garden pool to a large commercial pool with room for the surround.
Are these suitable for commercial or club pools?
Yes. The commercial and Fusion ranges are built for heavy, year-round use at hotels, schools, leisure centres and clubs.
Can the enclosure be removed or moved?
Yes. Marquee enclosures can be taken down and relocated, which suits seasonal use or a pool whose needs change — something a permanent structure can't offer.
