General information on the
Telescopic Oxford swimming pool enclosure

Sizes available

The Oxford swimming pool enclosure is available in widths from 5.00m to 8.75m wide in the domestic range. The length is constructed in 1.45m modules. The commercial Oxford is available up to 20.0m wide by 1.25m modules. The length of the structure is unlimited.

All fixed or telescopic?

The Oxford can be constructed with all the sections fixed. The normal design however, is to have part of the building mounted on tracks so that it can be rolled open in good weather. The mobile sections of the enclosure contains a unique coupling system that connects the structure to the mobile track at all times, ensuring the structure is secure in strong winds.

Side access and ventilation

The side panels slide up into the roof of the enclosure to a height of approx 2.0m. This gives access all down each of the sides, even when the building is closed. It also allows adequate ventilation in hot weather.

Entry into the enclosure

One set of patio doors are fitted as standard at one end. A second set of doors can be supplied as an optional extra. All patio doors are supplied with a lock and key.

Frame construction

The frames are manufactured using extruded aluminium arches. The first 0.75m is vertical. These are finished in a range of dry powder coated colours. The standard colours available are white, dark brown or green. Other colours are available at an extra cost.

Glazing materials

The Oxford is glazed with 10mm twin walled polycarbonate in the roof and 4mm single walled polycarbonate in the sides and ends. This glazing is available in clear or bronze tint. The sides and ends can be fitted with 10mm material if required. Commercial Oxfords have16mm triple walled polycarbonate in the roof sections.

Foundation requirements

It is essential that the buildings go down on square and flat foundations. With a new swimming pool construction there should be no difficulty in ensuring that good foundations are provided.

Building control

The Oxford Swimming Pool Enclosure has been designed to comply with the requirements of building control regulations in respect of wind and snow loading. Full consultant engineer's calculations are available on request.

Planning consent

The building is designed to satisfy the permitted development rules. However, under certain circumstances planning consent may be required. A service is provided to obtain these permissions on your behalf.

Guarantees

The aluminium structure is guaranteed for 10 years, there is a 10-year manufacturers guarantee on the polycarbonate glazing.
