There are a number of benefits to installing swimming pool enclosures. To begin with, the cost to heat the pool will be reduced and safety and security will increase. Additionally, an enclosure will make it possible to enjoy swimming all year round. An enclosures also help to reduce the evaporation of water, make maintenance easier, and reduce the number of chemicals that are needed.

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.

It is also important to consider the location of your pool. If it is in a more open area that might be subject it to high winds, you will want to think about an enclosure that is low profile or one that is held securely to the ground. If it is located in an area that is more sheltered wind is not that great of an issue.

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.

When using a system that is tracked, it is not as important for the surrounding area to be as even. However, if the area is extremely uneven it will be necessary to think about evening it out so the system will work smoothly. Also consider the amount of space you will need between the pools edge and the system to access filter covers and to allow room for cleaning. When measuring for installation, especially a tracked system, access points will need to be 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.

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.
