If you want to improve your pool or hot tub, one of the most effective changes you can make is to add a pool enclosure. This structure screens off the pool with attractive glass walls, balancing the benefits of an indoor pool with the aesthetics of an outdoor one. You can even have a roofing contractor install a covered or uncovered roof. If you aren't sure whether this option is right for you, consider the following benefits.

5 Benefits of Enclosing a Swimming Pool

1. Shade

Many pool enclosure designs incorporate full or partial shade overhead, reducing the risk of sunburn and cooling the pool area for greater comfort. If you want, you can also have a roofing contractor install a glass roof.

2. Pest Control 

If you've had problems with biting insects or bugs drowning in the pool, adding an enclosure will keep them out. Along with boosting everyone’s comfort and making swimming more enjoyable, you’ll spend less time and money on pool maintenance and cleaning.

3. Maintenance 

You won't have to worry about leaves, pollen, and other plant debris drifting into the pool. Additionally, if you choose a shaded roof, you'll discourage algae from growing in the water, making it much easier to keep the pool and water clean.

4. Costs

If the pool is heated or if you own a hot tub, keeping it in an enclosed area will help trap in heat. You’ll use less energy to keep the water warm and enjoy a lower power bill each month.

5. Convenience 

Because an enclosed area can be warmed and is protected from the weather, you can use the pool at any time of day or night throughout the whole year. This makes it much easier to swim on rainy days or to take a dip late at night.
