7 Surprising Advantages of a Florida Pool Enclosure

7 Surprising Advantages of a Florida Pool Enclosure You Didn't Know

In Florida, outdoor living isn’t seasonal—it’s a lifestyle. While a swimming pool is already a major upgrade, adding a Florida pool enclosure takes comfort, safety, and usability to the next level.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design and install custom aluminum pool enclosures that help homeowners enjoy their pools more often, with less maintenance and greater peace of mind. Below are seven surprising advantages that make pool enclosures one of the smartest outdoor investments in Florida.

1. Enjoy Your Pool All Year Long

Florida weather can change quickly. A pool enclosure allows you to swim and relax regardless of rain, wind, or excessive sun.

With an enclosure, you can:

  • Extend your swimming season
  • Enjoy poolside gatherings year-round
  • Use your pool even during cooler months

2. Bug-Free Poolside Relaxation

Mosquitoes, flies, and no-see-ums are part of Florida life—but they don’t have to ruin your pool time.

A pool enclosure creates a protective barrier that:

  • Keeps insects out
  • Allows fresh air to circulate
  • Makes outdoor dining and lounging more enjoyable

Say goodbye to bug spray and hello to uninterrupted relaxation.

3. UV Protection Without Blocking the Sun

Pool enclosures filter harmful UV rays while still allowing natural light into your outdoor space.

This means:

  • Reduced sun exposure
  • Less risk of sunburn
  • A cooler, more comfortable pool environment

You get the benefits of sunshine—without the downsides.

4. Less Cleaning, Lower Maintenance

One of the most overlooked benefits of a pool enclosure is how much time and effort it saves.

Pool Enclosures Help Reduce:

  • Leaves and debris
  • Bugs in the water
  • Dirt and pollen buildup

Cleaner water means fewer chemicals, less equipment wear, and more time enjoying your pool.

5. Added Safety for Children & Pets

Safety is a top concern for Florida homeowners. A pool enclosure adds an extra layer of protection by limiting access to the pool area.

This added security:

  • Helps prevent accidents
  • Keeps pets safe
  • Provides peace of mind for families

It’s a smart complement to other safety measures.

6. Energy-Efficient Comfort & Cost Savings

A pool enclosure helps retain heat and reduce evaporation, which can:

  • Keep pool water warmer
  • Reduce heating costs
  • Lower energy usage

This energy efficiency makes pool enclosures both eco-friendly and budget-conscious.

7. Built to Withstand Florida Weather

Florida storms are no joke. Professionally installed aluminum pool enclosures are engineered to handle:

  • High winds
  • Heavy rain
  • Flying debris

When built to local building codes, they provide reliable protection and long-term durability.

Why Aluminum Pool Enclosures Are the Best Choice

Aluminum is the preferred material for Florida pool enclosures because it is:

  • Rust and corrosion resistant
  • Lightweight yet strong
  • Low maintenance
  • Ideal for humid and coastal environments

Our enclosures are designed to perform in real Florida conditions.
