Screen enclosures tend to be a popular question when building a swimming pool. Whether you decide to get a screen or not, there are various things to consider. The first thing that you should determine is how you’d like to use your backyard space. Having a screen enclosure does limit certain areas of your design, and it is okay to change your mind during that design process. It’s important to have a trusted swimming pool company assist in guiding you to share what all options are best for you, your needs, and your space.
In South Florida, one of the reasons we don’t see as many homes having screens anymore is due to hurricanes. It’s easy for panels to blow out or the entire structure to go. On the other side, the climate in South Florida can allow for quite a few bugs to swarm. A screen room is one way to limit exposure to pests, but there are still several other alternative ways to repel bugs. Another thing to consider is debris. South Florida hosts various flora and fauna, therefore it’s important to understand your landscaping and surroundings. Regardless, you also need to keep debris outside of your pool either via screen enclosure or regular cleaning. Lastly, a screen enclosure can limit UV rays. Note that if you decide to add a screen enclosure, it will make your swimming pool water temperature cooler.
Most importantly, weigh all your options. This is typically a choice of personal preference. Contact our trusted team to learn more about the pros and cons of having a screen enclosure in South Florida.
