Pool & Spa Enclosures

Swimming Pool Enclosure Ideas

The modern swimming pool enclosure is no longer limited to just aluminum and screen material. With the use of polycarbonate the design and style of swimming pool enclosures these days are almost limitless.

A particularly popular type are the retractable swimming pool enclosures.

As a pool owner, you know that cleaning your pool can be a lot of work and cost money you could be saving. Simple pool covers can offer a limited amount of protection but still allow the pool to get dirty.

Retractable Pool & Spa Enclosures

As the big alternative to the conventional screened-in pool or porch, which still leaves you wet and cold in a rain storm – retractable enclosures are becoming more popular. With the use of polycarbonate these swimming pool enclosures are able to conform to almost any backyard layout, and can be moved out of the way when needed.

Not just an enclosure, these things have moving parts! When you feel like getting a bit of fresh air, just open up the retractable sections.

Fall, winter, spring, and summer — year-round, there will always be outside elements that fly around in the air and can end up in your pool. When you enclose a pool, you keep it protected from unwanted particles such as dirt, leaves, and dust.

Polycarbonate Patio & Porch Enclosures

As you might imagine – anything you can screen-in you can also replace with longer lasting polycarbonate paneling – and that includes the porch and patio enclosure and sunrooms.

Retractable patio enclosures have many more advantages over screened competitors. Patio enclosures allow you to use your patio all year round.

The main advantage – retractibility – enables you to completely slide the enclosure open in nice weather.

There are endless uses of the patio enclosure – you can create a new smoking room, covered outdoor dining area or simply storage space. Enclosures are a great addition to your home or pool if you love relaxing outside. With enclosures you will never have to worry about the inclement weather in spring, summer or fall again!

Swimming Pool Enclosure Construction

A swimming pool or patio enclosure can be installed during construction or added on afterwards. It may be prudent to include the swimming pool enclosure at the same time of construction, but is easy enough to install to an existing pool.
