A Florida pool enclosure provides a number of benefits, from guarding against leaves and insects to adding privacy as you swim. They also offer added security and prevent pets and children from venturing into an open pool. Even though there is a cost to build a pool screen enclosure, it will also increase your home’s resale value and enhance your swimming experience. Pool screen enclosures will also provide an entertainment space for your guests throughout the year.
Every day we are asked by prospective customers how much does it cost to build a pool screen enclosure? Therefore, that is the basis for this article. The average cost our company has experienced in the last few years has been in the $8,000 to $10,000 range which is based on 20 x 40 pool deck with a dome-style roof. Of course, there are also other criteria that come into play which are explored below.
Screen Enclosures for All Types of Pools
Screen pool enclosures must accommodate the many different pool sizes and shapes available. The enclosure varies in its construction depending on both the type and the location of the pool.
All of our outdoor pool enclosures typically are constructed with industry-standard aluminum. We have found that this alloy offers the durability necessary for Florida storms.

Pool Screen Enclosure Designs and Options
You have the choice of a pool enclosure that attaches to your home or stands alone as its own unit. You can also choose a basic enclosure that covers just the pool itself and doesn’t provide an enclosed space for the patio or the deck.
The screen enclosure roof varies depending on your preference; it can have a flat design or interesting peaks and gables for more visual appeal. The majority of pool enclosures we build are domed shaped. However, you can also have the pool enclosure built with a hip or mansard roof, also known as a French roof with two slopes on each side.
