All the homes at Windsor Island, similar resorts, and many private home in Florida have enclosures around their private pools. As this isn’t necessarily common in other areas, guests often ask the question “Why?”
First off, they are called “pool enclosures”…not “nets” or “cages”. They are large aluminum structures with screens that completely surround the pool.
There are many advantages to having a pool enclosure:
- Privacy – Opaque vinyl screens called “Florida glass” can be added so that neighbors don’t have direct view into the pool area.
- Enhanced Safety – The surrounding structure prevents youngsters from accidentally entering the pool area from the outside like a fence.
- Pest Control – No mosquitos, flies, bugs, critters, and wildlife
- UV Protection – Enclosures filter the sunlight to have protect you from UV rays that can damage or burn your skin. Think of it as a partial sunscreen.
- Keeping Clean – The enclosure helps keep out dirt, leaves, and other debris from entering the pool water.
- Security – Enclosures can assist in keeping out intruders.
And the #1 reason…If you’re playing with a beach ball…you won’t accidentally lose it.
We’ve found personally after experiencing a private pool with an enclosure that we like it a lot. It provides a sense of privacy and safety that feels good when you are at the home. If you want to experience the open air with a larger pool just head over to the Windsor Island clubhouse and you’re set!
