Are Pool Enclosures Worth It?

If you’re an owner of an outdoor pool, or keen to make the investment, you’ll know the endless benefits of having a pool in your garden: the ability to swim whenever you wish, as well as making a statement addition to your landscape. However, perhaps you want to improve some elements of your pool feature, such as its heat retention or security. If this is the case, a pool enclosure may be the perfect solution for you. A pool enclosure is essentially a protectective shield  that covers the pool completely. Here at Endless Summer, we stock a wide range of bespoke pool enclosures from advanced low-lying designs to sleek telescopic sliding mechanisms. We are here to explain why investing in a pool enclosure is a worthwhile move for any pool owner.  

Heat retention

Pool enclosures make a highly valuable and worthwhile additions to your pool due to their ability to retain heat inside. Polycarbonate material has great heat retention properties, keeping valuable heat inside the enclosure and helping to keep the water warm all year long. Not only does this save you money on your heating bills in the long run, but in reducing your energy usage, investing in a pool enclosure is also kinder to the planet.

Protection from the elements

Not only do pool enclosures keep warmth in, but they also keep unwanted elements out. Enclosure features such as double walled polycarbonate roofs, side doors and wall endings provide instant protection from wind and rain, meaning you can enjoy using your pool regardless of unpredictable weather. Enclosures also protect against hot weather too: a sunny day spent outside in the pool can leave swimmers exposed to harmful UV rays. Pool enclosures made from polycarbonate help to block out these rays, allowing you to enjoy hot days in the water without risk of sun exposure. Having your pool enclosed also helps to keep leaves and debris out of the water, hence reducing your maintenance levels and saving you time on cleaning.

Increased safety

An outdoor pool poses various safety hazards, particularly if you have children. As a pool owner, it is vital that you do everything you can to decrease the chances of slips, trips and accidents. Pool enclosures completely surround the water and can be locked, providing protection for young children, non-swimmers or even pets falling into your pool. Having your pool space enclosed also increases security, meaning that when you and your family are using the pool, you can keep your eyes on children in one contained space.
