A pool enclosure offers so many benefits. It keeps your pool area cleaner, prevents insects from bugging the people enjoying your pool, provides a little privacy, and helps to keep your pool area more secure. With the right screen, it can even offer protection from the sun’s strong rays. However, nothing lasts forever. Maybe a storm came through and tore down your screened in pool enclosure or it’s just old and worn out. That’s when a pool enclosure replacement is necessary.
Reasons for Pool Enclosure Restoration or Replacement
There are many reasons why you might need to restore or replace your pool enclosure. These include:
- Storm damage. Florida’s notoriously high winds can tear screens or damage the structure itself, compromising the protection the enclosure offers. In some cases, you may be able to repair the damage; in others, replacement may make more sense.
- Screen upgrades. Today’s screen is much more than plain wire mesh. Pool enclosure rescreening or the replacement of your enclosure gives you an opportunity to upgrade your screens. Now, there are many types of Phifer screens:
- Phifer pet screens that are specially designed to withstand the wear and tear of excitable pets and active children,
- Privacy Screen – provide extra privacy for your screen pool enclosure,
- No see-ums – prevent even the smallest of insects from invading your space
- Phifer Solar Screen – providing optimal sun protection.
- Freshening up. Like most outdoor structures, pool screen enclosures can get worn out and run down. Sometimes, their appearance no longer suits your tastes or the look of your property. Mold, corrosion, and wear and tear can also be factors. If your enclosure has seen better days, looks unappealing or no longer meets your needs, then it may be time to replace it.
Common Screened in Pool Enclosure Repairs
When it comes to repairs, there are a few things that can be done. Screens repairs and complete pool enclosure rescreening may make it possible to revive battered screens. Failing cage components may be refreshed with paint or replaced, and worn hardware can be replaced. While these fixes may extend the life of a pool enclosure, sometimes pool enclosure replacement is a better option.
