ADDING A POOL ENCLOSURE TO YOUR HOUSE:
Covering or enclosing your swimming pool can make an enormous improvement to your lifestyle by extending the swimming season throughout the year. Also, the pool will require less chlorine, less cleaning and it will maintain a much higher temperature.
Also, your pool enclosure will make a great all year round entertainment area.
You must carefully consider what material should be used for the framework. Aluminium or timber frames with both aluminium or stainless steel fixtures and fittings would be the most appropriate as lower grades of steel will be affected by the environment unless they are very well protected by such treatments as hot dip galvanize.
Aluminium frame pool enclosures are experiencing a dramatic increase in popularity. In the past an aluminum pool enclosure would have been an expensive option, but the price of aluminium has remained quite stable in recent years making it an extremely attractive option nowadays.
In recent years pool enclosures would normally have had a very high quality colorbond roof, or a tiled roof. Recently we find that high quality polycarbonate roofing is becoming very popular. Polycarb sheets have come a long way in recent years. It is now possible to use solar control type sheets which allow plenty of light in, whilst remaining cool underneath.
The sides can be either solid, glass or PVC blinds that can be raised during the summer period. The combo blind is a great option because when you lift the PVC blind, a see-through insect screen is automatically raised. Careful thought and planning can improve the safety aspects of the pool.
There is a great variety of pool enclosure roof designs available, from a simple flat roof or skillion roof to gable roof, dutch gablerrof, hip roofs, etc. You can see a many roof designs at www.akp-images.com
