If you are new to the Sunshine State, then you might not be familiar with pool enclosures because of their widespread popularity. A pool enclosure covers the entire pool and surrounding deck area. Typically, in Florida, the enclosure is made from screen mesh.
Benefits of a Florida Screen Enclosure
A Florida screen enclosure is not only iconic and helps keep your pool clean but serves several safety functions that cannot be overlooked.
- Security: Your pool is probably located off the back of your house or maybe the side. Usually, there is a door from your home that offers you access to your pool. Think of a pool enclosure as one more barrier for added security. Your pool enclosure will also have a lockable door and then you can enter the house directly from the pool enclosure.
- Safety: You can lock and place an alarm on the door to the pool enclosure to prevent neighborhood kids or others from getting near your pool and accidentally falling in. Drowning in a pool is a very real threat to not only children but also animals who might fall into the water.
- Wildlife: A bevy of wildlife can invade your Florida yard and some of them you might not want to encounter by your pool. However, the cool water beckons to alligators and snakes. You certainly don’t want to walk outside to take a dip in the pool and encounter a big gator.
- Storm Protection: Constructed of heavy aluminum, a Florida screen enclosure can withstand hurricane-force winds. It will hold steady and offer protection.
- Health Protection: Pools that are left exposed to the outside elements start to accumulate debris, dead insects, and even drown reptiles. It becomes difficult to balance the chlorine or salt to keep your pool safely clean. The things that fall into your pool start to a decay and put your family’s health at risk. A pool enclosure shelters the pool to help keep the water clean. Also, you don’t have to worry about spending a fortune on chlorine, shock, or additional salt to help combat the decaying matter which saves you money. Your time will also not be spent skimming out the matter from your pool’s water.
As you can see, the safety benefits of putting an enclosure on your pool are undeniable. Please contact U.S. Aluminum today to learn more about a Florida screen enclosure for your pool.
