This is a very popular model. We have a few different models, some taller, some shorter. This one's popular because it gives you a good sidewall height. A one-hand, one-person is able to pull >> Wow. >> each section, and I'm going to show you I'm going to push it all the way to the end, and that will heat up the entire enclosure. If your pool's on 85, it's going to be about 80, 82°. >> Really? Even in the winter, cold winter? >> the Even in the winter, during a blizzard. >> And I was told that there are people that have their pools open all year round. You know what I mean? How How does this How is this possible? You got to check out this company called What's this company called? >> Retract Enclosures. >> Retract Enclosures. Here we have Daniel Hatton, and the owner from this company. Daniel, I know you were called me a few times to come down and see how this is being made, but I think right now people are almost closing the pools. I think another month or two. And you want to tell people, before you close the pool, you have a chance to have your pool open all year round. Daniel, show us about your product. >> So, during the winter, your pool is sitting there, you're not able to use it. You put in a nice, big, beautiful pool. You want to be able to use your pool for 12 months. We have an option. You're able to put in one of these retractable pool enclosures, where during the summer, you slide the whole thing off. It takes seconds to open up. During the winter, you have an indoor pool. So, I'm going to show you around. We have a few different options for doors, different customizations. I'm going to show you around. Come on inside. >> Wow. >> in the front, it's 7 1/2 ft. You're able to walk around comfortably, lounge, put some chairs inside, lounge chairs inside. This is a very popular model. We have a few different models, some taller, some shorter. This one's popular because it gives you a good sidewall height, and it gets installed in one day. So, when you walk, depends on how we're going to build the enclosure, how close we build it to one side, gives you an amount of space on the other side. We can customize it. The best time to reach me is when you're installing a pool, but if you have a pool already, we can still install it on your pool. It's still It's Almost every single pool, it's possible. If you have a big waterfall situation, you know, there's going to be some obstacles to get around, but we figure it out. And I'm going to show you how you >> make it [clears throat] any height. Let's say if you want to have it, let's say a 10-ft uh >> 10, 15, we can customize the height, the width, the length. There's different models, and I'm going to show you this is one that I wanted to show you. It's a very popular model. >> Amazing. >> and I'm going to show you a little bit how we open and close this one. >> By the way, it's super easy to open. You can open it with with literally one hand. Even your kid from like 7, 8 years can open it by itself. >> So >> How does it How does it work? >> has a pin that locks into the rails. We have a two-step pin process so children can't get in. It's on both sides. We can even put a key lock if you'd like it to be key locked so kids can't get in. A one-hand, one-person is able to pull >> Wow. >> each section, and I'm going to show you I'm going to push it all the way to the end so you can see how it goes. >> all sealed by like such rubbers. >> in between every section, I'm going to show you in the next one. Let's push this one over. There's a rubber coming up, and in between every section, the one right before that has a rubber coming down, so it's a double seal. >> There's no wind, no rain, no water dripping through. Snow will build up on top. The way that the that we engineer it is so that the snow is going to melt from the heat inside, and it's not going to build up. It'll slide right off. It's all engineered to to and rated for wind loads and snow loads in your area. Every Every Every area we have to put in other other aluminum uh >> Now, let me ask you in the winter, do you have to have like a heating system inside, a heater, or does it just does the pool itself heated? Pool can just have the >> So, there's two heat sources of heat on our enclosure. The heat from the pool, the heat rises, the water evaporates into the air, >> That means you have to have a heated pool. >> pool is a must. Causes like a sauna effect inside the pool area. Um and that will heat up the entire enclosure. If your pool's on 85, it's going to be about 80, 82°. >> Really? Even in the winter, a cold winter? >> Even in the winter, during a blizzard. And it On top of that, if the sun is out during the winter, it's going going nice and warm inside. >> How? It has like a >> It >> has a greenhouse effect. The The enclosure heats up and it almost gets hot inside. >> Wow. >> Let's push all of it. This customer here, she decided during the summer months, I want to have completely everything pushed all the way away. She had 30 ft extra, so we said, "We'll push it all the way to the back. 30 ft, we'll give you 30 ft of tracks." She wanted to have a few access points on how to get in. We gave her a front door in the in the center. We gave her a side door on the side. And then, over here, I added in a small door customized a small little door, a mini door, because she has a ladder that she's putting in. >> Uh-huh. >> She doesn't want to take the ladder in and out. A small mini door for you. >> I see you have another door over there also on that side. >> door, an emergency exit if you have to get in. >> Gavalas, so you say all you have to do is like What What's the second source of heat that you have inside? >> The second source of heat is the sun. The sun beats down on the enclosure, that's what heats up the enclosure. We have the sun and we have the the water. >> We uh we go through all the different options and I'm going to show you a few different options on what type of polycarbonate we can do. So, it's not glass, it's 200 times stronger than glass. This is 4 mm clear solid polycarbonate. So, you can see through it, it's a more elegant look. I'm going to show you a few other options here. >> By the way, it's also good for my heat. So, that's if somebody wants to like you you can you can frost, let's say, this glass that it shouldn't now be able to able to look in. >> So, we have something called cellular. Cellular is clear, but it's like a twin wall. >> Uh-huh. >> included in all the enclosures. It retains the heat inside very well and it's it's it's a little bit lighter than this one. This one's a little bit heavier because this is solid. Then, we have something called opal frosted. Opal frosted, you can't see through. Completely completely >> But, how do you have the sun in the winter? >> It still has the still has a greenhouse effect, not as strong than the sun, but it'll still retain the heat inside from the water of the pool. We have a few different tinted options. This one is a bronze color. This one is a bronze color and we have a gray color tint. Nice. And then we have This is our newest our newest option which we're going to have them do another video on one that I'm doing like this a taller model. This one is called iced. So, if you look behind and now you look over here acts as a mechitza you can't see in. >> So, all these glass instead of putting clear glass instead of putting that. >> options. We have other options. >> Who's choosing this one for like a mirror like a natural mechitza? >> Yeah. Yeah, you know, we have somebody locally here is going to be doing it. I want to show you also some colors that we have some color options that we stock. We can everything is powder coated. We can color whatever color you choose. If you wanted to match the floor this pink floor, we could have done the pink floor. This customer here did black which is the most popular color. We have a charcoal gray. These are all in stock. We have a gray brown. We have a brown, a silver, and a white. And again, if you tell me you want a blue, okay, we can do blue. You can show me which color blue you want. I'll order in the color for you and we can do blue. >> You match it to the to the let's say to the liner to the water. >> the liner. We can match whatever it to your siding if you have blue siding. If you want a red brick and you want a red one, we'll do red. Whatever you want. >> by the way, where do you do Where do you cover which states? Like you do all the tri-city area? >> over. So, so the southern states halfway through America. It's very very hot. The summer gets it gets very very hot inside. So, you're not going to want to do anything down in Florida. South Carolina is really the the breaking point. We go all over the United States across anywhere from the halfway point up. It's a winterized product. So, we're we're we're all over the country. >> Now, Daniel, I see how easy it is, but what happens if somebody wants to have it at a click of a button? They want to have it like motorized. There's there an option to do it motorized? >> a >> A lot of times you have a customer that goes, you know, 35 ft wide, 15 ft tall, 10-ft sections. These are all 7-ft sections. Sometimes you're making it such a massive pool, you have a 25 by 50 pool, and you want It's going to You're still able to push it. One person is harder to push. Two people, it's it's it's easy. >> Are you talking about This is like This is like divided like seven pieces? >> These are seven sections, seven pieces. It goes in 7-ft increments. >> So, does it have like where you can have it like in >> 10-ft sections. I have them a lot of times in the 10-ft >> Really? So, that's a 10-ft section will be only two pieces over here, two like this. >> Here Here would be four. This is or five. It's 50 ft long. >> it's bigger, it becomes it sometimes >> It's harder to move because you're pushing on one side, you got to get them both at the same time. >> So, when you saw somebody pick like like such big slabs? >> So, when somebody When somebody's going 40 ft wide, engineering-wise, 7 ft is not is not going to is not going to work. It can tip over. So, we we have to Everything gets engineered, signed and sealed drawings, everything is done in-house. Um when you're talking about doing 10-ft sections, a lot of times that are 15 ft tall, a lot of times you want to put on motorization. And the motors we have we have a motor system which we can do motorization. Comes with blocks on both sides. At push of a button, it will open and it will close. And again, we're going to show you that on on another video on the on a a bigger model, we can show you the motorization one. >> Wow, Daniel, I love this product. I think it's mom's If somebody wants to have it all year around, you can leave it as a permanent for Some people want to have like an enclosed mikveh all year around. This is a great option. Find, Daniel, what's your >> I just want to show you at the back of every section we lock in There's two pins that lock in for the wind, for the summer, for the winter. So, we don't have this whole wall going back and forth. We have pins that go in the floor, and the same at the back where where she stores the enclosure during the summer. You don't want it to go back and forth, so we lock them in place. >> Gavaldek. Now, Daniel, look how easy Look how easy it is. That's it. All done. Daniel, now let me Let me ask you. If somebody, let's say, calls you today, he wants to have it, let's say, for the winter. How much in advance do they have to call you? >> So, the lead time is approximately 7-8 weeks. >> Not bad. >> Generally, it's not bad. It's generally 7-8 weeks. You know, obviously, once it gets on the water, I can't control the water, but >> Oh, it comes from overseas. >> Comes from overseas. >> Comes from Europe. >> Once it gets onto the water, I don't control, but it's usually a 30-day lead time from the day that I give you a tracking number, and you can see it throughout the process. During During production, another side thing that I do, I send the customer videos of your enclosure being produced. So, you can see exactly what's going on. How they they Whether it's the painting, putting the panels together, I give you a little insight into what's going on with your enclosure. >> Gavaldek. Now, Daniel, one more question I want to ask you. I don't know if you want to answer this on video, but I'm going to try. How does work with pricing? I know it's not cheap, but it's definitely worth because I see this is unbelievable. How What How does the pricing work? >> So, every pool is different size. Based on the sizes, you know, is is how the pricing works, and based on the model. I've done shorter enclosures. They start at about 30 to 40,000 dollars. >> Oh, not bad. >> And we install it It's a one-day installation. The enclosure comes fully built. We install it in one day. >> By the way, for people that have, let's say, Airbnbs all around the world, if you have an enclosed such an enclosure, let's say, in the winter, you can probably pay your sales pay for the project in no time. >> We have many Airbnb clients that I I'm more than happy to give out phone numbers, and you can reach out to them and ask them how their return has been on their investment. Their enclosure gave them bookings throughout the entire winter. So, again, and it's across the country from the West Coast to the East Coast, everywhere in between. Um you give me you give me with the location, the size of the pool, we work out all the specs, all the details. >> Um >> Gavaldek. Now, let me ask you um let's finish with your phone number, your website. >> My phone number, you can reach me on call, text, WhatsApp is 917-975-5966. You can go on my website at retractingclosures.com. >> Gerraldic website, order your pool >> enclosures. >> enclosures today. That is you can have it on time before the winter or maybe at the beginning of the winter. Thank you so much and that's all, Gerraldic. >> Thank you very much for coming.
