Details To Take Into Account Before To Installing Swimming Pool Enclosures

By Adriana Noton


Installing pool enclosures have many benefits. To start with, the amount of money spent on heating the eater is decreased while security and safety is increased. Also, an enclosure makes it possible to swim throughout the year regardless of the weather. Water evaporation is also reduced as well as the amount of chemicals that are needed, and general maintenance is easier.

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.

You will also need to consider where your pool is located and if the area is subject to wind. If the enclosure is to be installed in an open area it is best to consider a low profile system or one that is securely fastened to the ground. If the location is sheltered from the wind, than a higher system will be fine.

Also pay particular attention to the surrounding grounds. If there is a raised lip around the pool or the area surrounding it is limited, you will need to make sure your measurements take these things into consideration since you want the system to set as close to the edge as possible. The installation of the system has to be made past 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 not as important to make certain the surrounding grounds are even if the system will be tracked. But if the surrounding area is exceptionally uneven it is necessary to take steps to even it out so that the system will work properly. It is also important to evaluate the space necessary between the system and the edge of the pool so that there will be access to filter covers and for cleaning. It will be important to consider these access points when measuring for the installation, especially for tracked systems.

The area must also be accessible for the delivery of the enclosure and there must be enough room for its installation. You will also want to consider whether to install the system yourself, or pay to have it installed for you. Keep in mind that the larger systems are usually pre assembled so they require more room than a low profile enclosure.

Before buying a system, it is important to check with your local planning office to see if there are any permits that are needed for installing pool enclosures. Finally, you will consider the cost of a low profile or a larger system. Do some comparison shopping to find the best price for the system that will meet your needs.
