Screened-In Pool Enclosure

If you've built a pool in the backyard, you might want to get an enclosure for it. You'll love how it feels to lounge next to the pool once it's surrounded by a screen. Here are a few reasons why you should get one soon.

1. Never clean leaves out of the pool again

Adding a pool to the backyard often means you've got a whole new set of chores. You wouldn't want to let leaves decompose after they've fallen in there. So, you'll have to scoop them out using a pool net.

If you had a screened enclosure, you wouldn't have to worry about that at all. None of the leaves would make it into the pool, even if the wind is strong. Patio Enclosures by Great Day Improvements has a ton of examples on their site. You could ask them to help design an enclosure to surround your pool at home.

2. Prevent bugs from disturbing you

Nothing seems to break your relaxation more than getting bitten by a bug. If you've had that happen, it might be time for an enclosure.

Putting one around your pool would stop bugs from bothering you whenever you're out there. They wouldn't be able to get through the screen's mesh, keeping them outside.

A company like Arizona Retractable Screen Solutions could help. They've built tons of enclosures throughout the region. You can even see how their results look by checking out their online gallery.

3. Preserve your furniture from the sun

You probably don't want to replace your pool furniture every couple of years. However, if they've been in the sun, UV rays might have faded their colors.

Protecting your furniture with a screened enclosure can prevent them from fading. Most of the time, your enclosure will use UV-blocking material. So, the sun can't bother your stuff if it's left next to the pool.

4. Create a private hideaway

We've always enjoyed hanging out next to the pool, especially when it feels private. You can make yours feel more private by installing a screened enclosure, too.

Nobody will be able to see you when you're inside the enclosure. So, you'll feel like you've built a private sanctuary, tucked away in the backyard.

5. Enjoy the outdoor air

When you're inside a screened enclosure, you're still able to smell the outdoor air. There's only a small barrier between you and the rest of the world. That's why it feels like you're still outside if you're in the enclosure.

You just don't have to deal with minor annoyances, like bugs and nosy neighbors.
