  • Patent number: 11428021
    Abstract: A dome shaped roof structure for outdoor pools, both above ground pools and with minimal modification inground pools, that does not interfere with the use of the pool consisting of a plurality of flexibility poles supported by the pool, with a flexible tension ring holding the pole ends together over the center of the pool and a net fabric material that covers the pole and tension ring frame which is secured around the top of the pool. The roof structure works for all shapes and many sizes of pools providing protection from bugs and debris while still maintaining the outdoor experience. The high flexibility of the frame and tension ring allows winds and rain to flow thru without damage to the roof during inclement weather. The low number of elements that make up the roof structure make it inexpensive as well as easy to assemble, dismantle and store.
