One of the top challenges for parks, recreation, sports and aquatic programs is finding space, indoors and out. Outdoor spaces are challenged by the weather, and in colder climates programs must be contained within a shorter season. Indoor space can be limited, and when pleasant weather arrives, guests might prefer to engage in activities outdoors.
Whether it’s aquatics, pickleball or day camps when school is out, you can make the most of time and space with a retractable building.
Weather & Climate
Outdoor swimming pools, sports courts and other sports and recreation facilities are highly appealing during the warmer months, but even then, closures and cancellations can occur due to rain and storms, colder temperatures or even extreme heat.
In most of the U.S., outdoor facilities can only operate during the warmer months. Most outdoor aquatic facilities, for example, open around Memorial Day and close for the year around Labor Day.
Light & Air
Indoor facilities might be able to stay open year-round, but at the cost of expensive and time-consuming construction for brick-and-mortar structures, along with the loss of sunlight and fresh air. Indoor recreation and aquatic facilities are also more resource-intensive, with additional lighting required throughout the day, along with heating and cooling requirements. Indoor aquatic facilities present additional challenges with their complex ventilation and humidity requirements.
The Best of Both Worlds
Retractable buildings provide an indoor-outdoor aquatic experience and an all-weather, year-round venue for programming. These structures are able to cover large spaces, providing plenty of room to meet the demand of your local community.
You’ll get all the benefits of indoor facilities, with year-round operation and no need to cancel programs and events due to bad weather. When bad weather threatens, you can transition easily from an open-air to an indoor facility in less than 40 seconds.
At the same time, with the enclosure open, you’ll offer the experience of recreating in the great outdoors. Visitors will be able to enjoy natural light all day long, with fresh air flowing through even on rainy days.
