It’s no doubts that the swimming pool in our backyard is playing a quintessential role in promising joyful moments to our summertime.

Since having a swimming pool is a big thing for everyone, its daily maintenance might be a bit of an itching issue for us to totter-tatter a lot.

You tackle things constantly like clearing leaves and debris, reducing your heating bill as well as seeking to add fewer chemicals. And at times we might think that getting a pool cover seems to be a hell of a good option.

However, many people don’t like the winter pool covers like water bag pool cover. It makes quick swim impossible for it takes time to roll the cover off before swimming, which does sabotage the luxury swimming experience.

Pool covers work best on rectangular pools, yet they are difficult and impractical to use on irregularly shaped pools. If your pool shape is special design like this swimming pool below, it may not be possible to use a pool cover.

What’s more, based on the feedback we found from the end-user experience, the pool cover still is not quite promising in terms of firmness.

That’s when a pool enclosure comes into the play.

First of all, it looks good. It’s not eliminating any of the aesthetic design of a pool. It even elaborates it with a more sophisticated appearance.

Secondly, an enclosure can provide year-round versatility. Especially, it keeps your pool warm during winter. Most pool enclosures products are made of polycarbonate sheets. The polycarbonate sheets are the perfect material for trapping heat, therefore maintaining a warm environmental condition.

Also, for families with little kids, the pool enclosure ensures safety. It’s mildly dangerous for your kids to play outside alone when you have a pool installed in your backyard. The well-designed structure prevents your kids from running into the pool. After all, as one of our customers puts it, “What could possibly be more important than safety concern?”

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.

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.
