What to design first, the pool or the pool enclosure?

The answer is to design your pool first, but before you set your design in stone, consult your pool enclosure contractor with your preliminary design in hand. This gives a starting point for your pool enclosure contractor to use in the devolpment of a synergistic plan, which provides aesthetically pleasing results. Because pool enclosures consist of supports which are essentially uncovered, unlike the trusses of a house roof for instance, the orderly arrangement of supports is key to providing an enclosure which appears properly planned.

Certain increments of width are acceptable from a design standpoint and aesthetic considerations also weigh in. Consulting with All Custom Aluminum prior to construction enables you to avoid some of the common pitfalls of after-the-fact pool enclosure construction. Some of these include: slabs which are not square, insufficiently robust foundations, slabs with rounded corners, inopportune placement of angles or notches, slabs which end in the middle of a bay of windows, etc.

So, the solution is to create your dream pool design, and tweak it as neccessary to facilitate the perfect enclosure which synergistically combines aesthetic and structural considerations.

Pricing Pool Enclosures

All Custom Aluminum constructs the finest pool and screen enclosures to be found anywhere, at a low price. If you are looking for a screen pool enclosure, and you are in the south (below 30 degrees latitude or so), windload will control the spans for your enclosure, and unless you are in a coastal impact zone, count on spending between $6.50 and $8.00 per square foot of footprint (width by length) for a typical size enclosure, with no complicating factors.

If you are North of the 30 degree latitude mark, chances are ice and snow loads, rather then wind loads, control the design of the structure. This causes the price to increase in accordance with the loads and design pressures. You should budget between $8.00 and $10.00 per square foot of footprint for these areas, although some areas in this region have very little ice and snow loads and reduced wind loads, so each case is different.

All Custom Aluminum has even installed pool enclosures in to the foothills of the Appalachain Mountains in both screen and polycarbonate roof systems. These projects are customized to the geographical conditions, and vary in cost. We are available for instant consultation and quotation on pool and screen enclosures by calling (850 ) 524-0162 in Tallahassee, FL.

Integrated Solid and Screen Roof Pool Enclosures

All Custom Aluminum Offers a wide array of pool enclosure options, including one where some element of the total footprint is covered with a walkable, load bearing, isulated composite solid roof product and the rest of the area is covered in screen. The resulting space affords you the option of different shading and temperature environments integrated contiguously into one structure. The transition between the two rooflines is seamlessly accomplished via a structural aluminum gutter and carrier beam, capable of spanning large distances. Thus you can "walk through" from one area to the othe with no impeding wall or supports.

Why spend quadruple or more to have a Builder tear into your house roof to create a new lanai, pool house, outdoor kitchen, or cabanna, when All Custom Aluminum has an energy effiecient, load bearing finished roof system that incorporates all the elements of your homes ceiling, attic, and roof into an ulta strong insulated composite capable of meeting all your needs? Let us show you how you can get more for less, and create a space you and your family will gravitate to throughout the year.

Custom Pool Enclosures

All Custom Aluminum constructs the finest pool and screen enclosures to be found anywhere. We custom design every enclosure, and provide sealed engineering to insure that the structure we fabricate conforms to local wind, snow, or ice loads. Our laser assisted layout process is the most meticulous in the business, yielding a superior fit and finish relative to less precise layout techniques. Our "internal" fabrication process means less visible connections, and eliminates unsightly angle clips on the vast majority of connections through utilization of the internal "screw bosses" incorporated into the design of the extrusion. These bosses, as they are called, allow primary and secondary structural elements to be mated together seamlessly, while also incresing the strength of the connection. These are just some of the advantages of All Custom Aluminum.

Georgia Pool Enclosure

All Custom Aluminum is proud of our latest pool enclosure for the President of Bainbridge College, Dr. Carvajal, and his family. We constructed a mansard hip screened pool enclosure which connected to a sunroom the Carvajals had just finished constructing. All Together, the structures blended seamlessly with the home and created a sense of a greatly enlarged semi-interior space.

This enclosure incorporates a special new screen which increases visibility and air flow, while decreasing the mesh size. This Bettervue mesh screen, by Phipher, is one of the latest advances in the industry, and even incorporated a "microban" additive into the screen formulation to inhibit mold and mildew growth. Best part of all is that Bettervue mesh screen costs the same as standard 18X14 mesh screen. Testing shows Bettervue mesh screen withstand wear and wind better than standard screen as well.

Pool Enclosure FAQ

1. How much does a pool enclosure cost? The answer depends on many factors (see post here)but the short answer is between $7.50 and $10.00 per square foot of deck are for an all screen enclosure, assuming a typical span and connection to the home and no extreme wind or snow loads.

2. What happens to the water coming off my house roof where the pool enclosure is connected? We install an extruded structural gutter, called a supergutter, against the eave or connection to the home. This extremely large, and extremely strong extruded gutter is attached to the home by connecting into the actual rafter tails (through the fascia) to create a permanent, load bearing substrate upon which to attach the structural members of the pool enclosure. If you already have a gutter, we will remove it in one piece and set it aside for you.

3. What colors are available? For better or for worse, pool enclosures only come in two colors: white and bronze. White is simply a white finish. Bronze is a medium tone broze which some people would call brown and others call black.

4. Are the colors the same price? Yes.

5. Which color should I choose? That is a good question. First look at the host structure. White tends to clash with cream or ivory fascia and trim. While bronze may clash with any color to close to be complementary. Also, bronze tends to clash with greys. Second, look at your window color. Many times people will want consistency from window frame to enclosure frame. Typically, these frames are also white or bronze. Third, think about how you want the room to come off. Is it going to be an exrension of your home, or do you want to "see through" it? Be careful to balance these considerations when choosing your color.

Pool Enclosure Screen Options

It used to be when it came to screen options there were only two real choices: either standard mesh screen (18X14), which does not keep out sand gnats and pine needles, and tight no-see-um mesh (20X20), which kept out the gnats and needles, but was more costly and tended to be darker and more stifling than standard mesh screen.

All that has changed however with the advent of the new Bettervue mesh screen by Phifer. This screen has a number of improvements over the two screens mentioned above. First, it has a 20X20 mesh, while reducing the filiment size of each filiment. The resulting screen is thus more insect repellent while not sacrificing light or airflow. Secondly, Bettervue mesh screen lets in around 10 to 11% more light and air than typical screens of 18X14 mesh. Third, Bettervue mesh insect screen contains a "microban" additive which repels mold and mildew growth. Finally, Bettervue mesh screen is the same price as regular, standard mesh screen.
