The benefits of the installation of pool enclosures are many. They start with the amount of money saved to heat the water and the increased security and safety they provide. An enclosure will also allow for year round swimming no matter what the weather conditions are. Enclosures help reduce water evaporation, reduce the amount of chemicals needed, and simplifies then maintenance.
There are a number of things to consider before purchasing and installing an enclosure. First you will want to consider whether to install a tracked or trackless enclosure. A tracked enclosure can be opened and closed by one person while a trackless one requires two people to evenly push or pull both sides simultaneously to prevent it from going 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 also important to consider what condition the surrounding area is in. The area around the pool should be smooth and should be reasonably level so that the system operates efficiently and with ease. The condition of the surrounding pavement will be particularly important if the system is not tracked.
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.
It is also important to consider if the area is accessible for the delivery of the system and how much room is available to install it. Another consideration is whether you will need to have it installed or is it something you can do yourself. Larger enclosures are usually delivered pre assembled and require more room than low profile systems.
Prior to purchasing a system, make certain to check with the local planning office in case there are permits needed to install pool enclosures. Lastly, consider how much it will cost to install a low profile system and the larger system. It i a good idea to comparison shop to make sure you get the best price for the system you want.
