Different Types of Pool Enclosures

A Guide to the Different Types of Pool Enclosures in Florida

In Florida, owning a pool isn’t just a luxury—it’s a way of life. For homeowners in Brevard County and Indian River County, a pool enclosure is one of the best investments you can make to enjoy your pool year-round while protecting it from insects, debris, and unpredictable weather.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design and install pool enclosures that enhance comfort, safety, and curb appeal. Below is a breakdown of the most popular types of pool enclosures in Florida to help you choose the right option for your home.

Screen Pool Enclosures: Open-Air Comfort Without the Bugs

Screen pool enclosures are the most common choice for Florida homeowners. They offer the perfect balance of outdoor enjoyment and protection.

Benefits of Screen Enclosures:

  • Keeps mosquitoes, flies, and debris out
  • Allows natural airflow and sunlight
  • Provides partial shade on hot days
  • Ideal for pool screen enclosures and lanais

Screen enclosures are a cost-effective way to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining comfort around your pool.

Aluminum Pool Enclosures: Built for Florida’s Climate

Aluminum Pool Enclosures are designed to withstand Florida’s heat, humidity, and frequent storms.

Key Benefits of Aluminum Enclosures:

  • Rust- and corrosion-resistant
  • Lightweight yet structurally strong
  • Customizable for all pool sizes
  • Long-lasting durability

Aluminum framing is the foundation of most custom pool enclosures in Central Florida.

Dome Pool Enclosures: Unique Design and Energy Efficiency

Dome pool enclosures feature a geodesic shape and transparent panels that create a greenhouse effect.

Why Homeowners Choose Dome Enclosures:

  • Traps heat for warmer water
  • Energy-efficient design
  • Distinctive visual appeal
  • Extended swimming season

While less common, dome enclosures are a unique solution for homeowners seeking maximum heat retention.
