Florida pool enclosures are a common place addition to many Florida yards. With so many types of pool enclosures out there, how do you know which one is best for your home? Rest assured, here’s a guide from some of the top pool builders in the business to help you decide what options will fit your aesthetic and functional needs to create your ideal outdoor living space.

Benefits of Pool Enclosures

First, you may be wondering – why do I need a pool enclosure at all? Here are some common reasons many of our clients decide to get one installed:

  • Protection from elements like intense sunlight, dirt/debris, curious neighborhood creatures, and pests.
  • Additional safety and security for your pets and children
  • Complement your landscaping
  • Benefit from year-round shade
  • Reduce maintenance and cleaning by keeping out unwanted rodents, pests, and debris
  • Raise your property value by extending your outdoor living space.

How Much Do Pool Enclosures Cost?

Now that you know why you might want a pool enclosure, it’s time to get to the nitty gritty. How much pool enclosures cost depends on several factors. The biggest factor is usually how big your pool is – on average, they tend to cost from $10 to $30 per square foot, depending on what materials and the type of screen enclosure you’re using. Glass enclosures will obviously cost significantly more than screens, for example. Retractable enclosures can also raise the price tag, though they also increase the convenience and versatility.

What type of pool you have also impacts the cost. Building an enclosure for an above-ground pool will typically cost less than for an in-ground one, because it’s simpler to construct. The building materials you select for your pool screen enclosure are another thing that impacts the cost. Choosing high-quality materials may be a bigger financial investment, but they will last longer, saving on replacement and repair costs later down the road.

Types Of Screen for Pool Enclosures

  1. Standard fiberglass screen: This is the most commonly used material due to its flexibility, durability, and low cost. Made of fiberglass strands coated with a protective layer of PVC, this screen is highly weather-resistant.
  2. No-See-Um screen: If you live in an area with a lot of insects like sand flies or gnats, this tighter-weave screen features a finer mesh that keeps out even miniscule bugs while still offering visibility and airflow
  3. Florida glass screen: If you really value your privacy, Florida Glass is ideal. This laminated, vinyl-coated fiberglass screen offers more opacity than other screens and maintains an airy, open feel.
  4. Pet screen: Keep your pets safe and out of your pool with a super-durable vinyl-coated polyester material designed to withstand sharp claws. It also helps keep other pests out.
