It looks fantastic, but I'd check it daily for squatters.

does it really stop the cold from getting in? i know it will keep it a little bit warmer but does it work if say its drops to -20
ive just finished all the wood work on my canopy (literally, im writing this on a 10min break), im just about to put the clear tarpaulin roof on and now the timbers are all done id be able to put sheets of king-span up in case it gets really cold
It's very difficult to prevent heat loss, without really good thermal insulation and a heat source.
The best we can do is slow the process down and limit the effects of sudden drops in temperature.
I've mentioned before that the biggest heat loss is by the latent heat transference between the surface of the water and the air passing across it.
That's why if you're out in the rain, you get wet and it's a bit blowy, you can feel particularly cold. Covers will help to reduce it. But an enclosed space with a source of low heat would be ideal.
With a sub-surface pool in the winter, the surrounding earth is likely to be at a higher temperature than ambient.

ive just put the tarpaulin roof on my canopy and even with only a bit of sunlight hitting it it warms up so much under neath it, with any look with the usual clear skies we get in the winter when we get a chill the sunlight might warm it up a fair bit so fingers crossed

as to where all the bits went it took a day to erect.
