When you told them to reapply the sunscreen before getting back in the pool, body art hadn’t been exactly what you had in mind. They knew that though. Their little sister is so fair she would fry to a crisp in no time because you haven’t got any shade near the pool at all. Maybe it’s time to look into the cost of a pool enclosure.
If you go with a glass enclosure, the cost is higher if you get UV protection built-in. A more economical option is to install a screened-in pool enclosure. Mesh screen pool enclosures provide a natural barrier and give you some degree of UV protection. The kids won’t have to reapply their sunscreen as often. They’re sure to approve of that because they won’t have to get out of the water as often.
Moreover, when you consider all the other benefits that mesh pool screen enclosures provide, the actual cost to install one of your own pales in comparison.
Privacy gets underrated
Actually, the number one reason that homeowners choose to enclose their pool areas is the privacy factor. However, many of those who hadn’t considered an added sense of privacy, reported that they noticed the difference immediately.
Even if you love your neighbors, it’s nice to have the ability to put some space between you now and then. And, if you have the misfortune of living next to someone who is a little too interested in what’s going on over in your yard…
You also need to hear about customizing your screens! It increases the privacy effect and more—you can create a completely new environment. Imagine walking out of your backdoor and into your favorite place on earth. Wherever that may be! The beach, the rainforest, a beautiful flower garden—the possibilities are literally endless.
Add your own decor and maybe some new lighting for added effect and voila! The transformation is likely going to amaze you.
The bugs can’t bite
Screen pool enclosures don’t let bugs through. None of them—that includes the noseeums. The intricately woven mesh prevents them from gaining access to the party. You can store away the fly swatters and bug repellants because you won’t need them.
Just imagine not spending your time near the pool swatting flies and scratching at your arms and legs. Now, take it a step further and consider bug-free night swims—even if you turn on all the lights!
Your pool stays cleaner
Pool enclosures do wonders for keeping your pool clean.
Toss a doormat down if you’ve got a yard entrance for reinforcement and you’re golden. You’ll find yourself spending more time relaxing instead of skimming. Storms wreaking havoc in the pool area are going to be a thing of the past too.
Moreover, enclosing your pool greatly decreases the odds that you’ll be fishing out any snakes or other small creatures when they find their way into the pool and then can’t get out again.
Free airflow
Glass enclosures are known to cause some people to feel claustrophobic because they get stuffy. The reason for that is that most of us don’t air-condition the pool and the glass prevents air from circulating inside the enclosure.
This can cause a health hazard for both your family and your pets. Mold and mildew can cause respiratory problems—and other conditions—and if not treated, they get worse.
Mesh screen pool enclosures allow air to circulate freely throughout the entire area. Everything dries out and that makes it impossible for mold and mildew to take hold.
And, there’s safety to consider too
Pools can be dangerous when kids and pets are left unsupervised. Rather than never letting them outdoors unless you can be there to keep an eye on them, you could rest assured knowing the pool is off-limits with the flip of the lock on the door.
Of course, having a pool alarm in place is always a good idea because oversights happen. The odds may be incredibly low, but still—better safe than sorry. Especially, where the life of a loved one is concerned!
Easy to clean
You would probably have to hire someone to clean a glass pool enclosure if you want the job to look professional. Cleaning a mesh screen enclosure involves nothing more than breaking out the power washer! Or, if you need something to keep the kids busy, a bucket of sudsy water, scrub brushes, and the hose should occupy them for a while.
The time factor
We can guarantee you that when you enclose your pool, your family—and friends—are going to want to spend more time there. And, you know what they say about spending more time with the ones you love—it’s priceless.
If you’ve been considering installing a pool enclosure, it’s pretty easy to see that the benefits really do make the cost pale in comparison. And, when you add in the possibility of customizing your screens to create your own private getaway spot, the cost pales even more. You’d feel as if you’re on a mini-vacation whenever you head to the pool!
That thought makes rest and relaxation spring to mind. How about you? Summer’s nearly here. Whether you spend some of it in your new outdoor living space or not, make it a great one!
