1.  Reduces Direct Exposure To Sunlight

Unlike pool covers or pool blankets, installing a pool enclosure protects you if you live in an area with long, intense summers, constantly exposing you to the sun’s harmful rays. They provide shade, keep you cooler and reduce cleaning and maintenance times and costs.

Although they cost more, retractable pool enclosures are ideal for providing you with the best of both worlds. That’s shade when you need it and partially opened to allow in a refreshing breeze.

2.  Security For Kids And Pets

If you have children or pets, you are always wary of them being around an open pool. A pool enclosure is one way to keep the risks down. You can enclose the entire area or just a section. With end panels, door, windows and side wall you have increased security and safety. Perfect when you are home but even better if you are away from home. Being able to lock up your pool enclosure helps your neighborhood stay safe. 

And if you like the idea of more privacy, a pool enclosure will stop people from watching you without your consent, which is good for you and your children. 

3.  Increase the Footprint of Your Home 

A swimming pool is like an extension to your home and a pool enclosure is like adding a summer living room. It makes your home feel more spacious and luxurious, helping you to entertain guests outdoors for longer without worrying about the elements.

It helps define the space and allows you to enhance it. You can take this idea further by installing an inside out pool, where half of the pool is inside your house and half of it is outside.

4.  Reduce the Use Of Chemicals

If you have chlorine in your pool, the sun’s rays burn off chlorine which means you are continually topping up the chemicals in your pool. That is expensive and time consuming. Using a pool enclosure means you can block the sun’s rays and use less chemicals in your pool.

Regular use of chemicals is not only expensive but can also affect your health. Eye irritation, breathing problems and bacteria build up means swimming pool chemicals are necessary, but using pool enclosures helps to control exposure to pollutants, phosphates, leaves, and dirt and reduce the amount of chemicals you have to use. A pool enclosure will also reduce the amount of insects, leaves and debris in your pool. Cleaning time will be reduced and your pool will always be ready for you to use.

There are other positives too. Other maintenance expenses like replacing ripped or faded liners, cleaning, and balancing pH levels can also be done less often saving you time and money. 

5.  Swimming For One’s Health
