What Does a Pool Enclosure Do?
Screen pool enclosures and pool cages are essentially the same type of structure, serving the primary purpose of protecting a pool from debris, insects, and UV rays, while also enhancing privacy and safety. They are commonly referred to as "pool enclosures," "pool cages," or "screened lanais".
Functionality
Screen enclosures provide a barrier around a pool, preventing debris like leaves, dirt, and insects from entering the water, which reduces maintenance and improves the swimming experience. They also offer a degree of UV protection, making swimming more comfortable and safer.
Safety
The enclosure acts as a secondary safety barrier, deterring unauthorized access to the pool, particularly important for families with young children or pets.
Privacy
Screen enclosures can enhance privacy by shielding the pool area from neighbors' views.
Materials
Pool cages are typically made from durable, corrosion-resistant aluminum framing and screens. The type of screen material can vary (e.g., fiberglass, polyester, solar screens), with options for UV protection and durability.
Types
Cost
The cost of a pool enclosure can vary depending on size, materials, and features, says homeguide.com. It's generally considered a cost-effective investment for the benefits it provides.
Maintenance
Screen enclosures require minimal maintenance, primarily consisting of occasional cleaning of the screens and occasional repairs.
Durability
The lifespan of a pool enclosure depends on the materials used, but well-maintained aluminum enclosures can last 10-25 years, says Commercial Residential Aluminum.
