Things To Take Into Account Before To Installing Swimming Pool Enclosures

By Adriana Noton


There are a number of benefits to installing swimming pool enclosures. To begin with, the cost to heat the pool will be reduced and safety and security will increase. Additionally, an enclosure will make it possible to enjoy swimming all year round. An enclosures also help to reduce the evaporation of water, make maintenance easier, and reduce the number of chemicals that are needed.

Several things should be taken into consideration before buying and installing a system. You will want to think about which type of system you want, one that is trackless or one that is tracked. The convenience of a tracked system is that it takes only one person to open and close it while the trackless will need two people on either side to push or pull evenly and simultaneously to make certain it does not go offline.

The location of the pool is also very important to take into consideration when looking at what type of system to purchase. It it is located in an area that is open to high winds a low profile system that can be securely fastened to the ground will work best. If the location is sheltered from high winds than a larger enclosure will work.

You will need to pay attention to the surrounding areas also. Many pools have a raised lip around the entire pool. If the surrounding area is limited, you will want to be sure that the enclosure sits as close as feasible to the pools edge. This will mean that the installation must be made beyond the raised lip.

It is important to examine the condition of the surrounding. The ground around the pool needs to be somewhat level and smooth to the system will work efficiently and easily. It is especially important to consider the surrounding area if the enclosure is to be trackless.

It is less important for the area to be even when a tracked system is installed. However, an area that has ground that is very uneven will make it necessary to take steps to even out the ground to ensure that the enclosure works properly. Also evaluate how much space there is between the edge of the pool and the system for accessing the filters and to clean. These access points should be considered when measuring for installation, especially if a tracked system is being considered.

Also consider if there is enough room in the area for delivery of the enclosure and the amount of room available for installation. Think about whether it will be installed for you or you will be able to install it yourself. Keep in mind that the larger systems usually come pre assembled and need more space than the low profile enclosures.

Make sure to check with the local planning office before purchasing or installing any type of pool enclosures. You may be required to have a permit to install any type of system on your property. Cost will be one of the most important considerations when comparing large systems and low profile enclosures. Take time to do some research so that you get the system you want for a price that meets your budget.
