How to build a pool screen enclosure?

Before you buy or build a year-round swimming pool enclosure, you should know 3 things. Here are a few of the steps that are involved when building a pool in your backyard.

 

Obtaining permits

Before construction can begin, the right permits need to be pulled and obtained. Retractable pool enclosures are classified as temporary structures so it is arguable that you do not need planning permission while the portable pool covers do not need permits. However, the permits needed vary based on the country, state,city you reside in. Sunshield Shelter knows what permits to build and get them.

Preparing the ground

Step 1: Preparing the required tools as below

It is necessary to keep the inner width of the enclosure(between inside edges of the rails) which must be checked by measuring diagonals and rail axis width(inner axis width and the distance from the outer edge of the pool.

Step 3: Installing the pre-assembled screen enclosures to installed tracks.

Sunshield polycarbonate telescopic enclosure is specifically designed with a minimal number of components and is already partially assembled when delivered. You just need to install the sliding wheels at the bottom of pool enclosures.

How much does it cost to screen in a pool?

One of the biggest objections to a telescopic pool enclosure is that it seems so permanent and need a cost of thousands of dollars to buy while choosing a portable fabric pool cover only cost one-tenth of the polycarbonate/glass pool enclosures.See Polycarbonate vs Glass

Which one should you choose in terms of such disparity? Let’s discuss their cost breakdown

Permanent (30years lifespan) pool enclosures

Cost breakdown:

Screen materials: an average of $15 per square foot depending on your design (they can range anywhere from $5-$25).

Labor: depending on which contractors you hire. Certainly, DIY small [3m to 6m span(10-20feet width)], residential pool enclosures could install by 2-3 homeowners.

Average cost: Assuming a pool enclosure that measures an enclosure [10′ by 20′ pool and a 6′ sidewalk), the total cost will be an average of about $8,000-$8500.

Portable fabric pool cover

Portable Fabric Pool Cover is typically made of Polypropylene Mesh, Scrim Vinyl Coated Mesh or PVC Coated Polyester Solid. They allow you to do it yourself. Keep in mind that portable fabric pool cover will need to be put up and taken down each season.

Cost breakdown:

It takes dozens of dollars depending on the materials you used.
