Having a swimming pool is a fairly costly business. The investment involved in installing the pool, not to mention the additional surrounding paving, landscaping and maintenance costs, can leave even the most affluent of people reluctant to spend any more money than they absolutely have to.

However, a pool enclosure can actually be a remarkably sensible additional investment to make. A pool enclosure offers a number of benefits, ranging from the immediate to the long term. It also offers great benefits for hot tubs, splash pool and whirlpools. Here are just a few of the top reasons why it really does pay to have one.

Top Reasons to Invest in a Swimming Pool Enclosure 

  1. They'll help keep your pool free from debris. Once you’ve had a swimming pool for a while, you'll appreciate how frustrating it is having to continually clean out the leaves, dead bugs and other debris that lands in it on a regular basis. A simple pool cover helps with the problem a little bit, but the wind can often blow the cover off, leaving your pool exposed to the elements once more.

A pool enclosure almost completely eliminates this issue. The mesh walls prevent leaves, large bugs and other detritus blowing on the wind from entering your pool, meaning that you can spend less time cleaning it, and more time enjoying it.

  1. They'll help keep family and pets safe. If you’ve got young children or pets, having a swimming pool is always a bit of a concern. You won’t be able to leave the area unattended whilst the kids are out in the garden with an exposed swimming pool, which can make even the smallest of tasks, such as heading inside to get drinks or snacks, really quite complicated.

An aluminum enclosure allows you to completely seal off the area, which means that when you’re not using it and the kids and pets want to play out in the garden, they can do so in complete safety.

  1. They create added security. The area around the pool can pose security issues, particularly as they are often positioned close to patio doors, which are obvious targets for criminals whilst you’re away on holiday. An enclosure, fitted against the house, effectively seals off the area, preventing criminals from enjoying easy access to your glass patio door.

  1. They add resale value. A pool enclosure essentially creates an additional room within your house. Without an enclosure, the swimming pool remains resolutely an ‘outdoor pool’, but with an enclosure, it suddenly shares the best of both worlds; fresh air and sunlight, but also security and a sense of interior space.

If you’re interested in investing in a pool enclosure, then now is the time to do your research. Look for local swimming pool enclosure specialists, check their credentials and arrange for a consultation, where they can visit your property and offer some practical, stylish recommendations.
